Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine external preparation technology, specifically relating to a topical black plaster based on the TCM theory of "treating different diseases with the same method", used to treat soft tissue injuries and bone and joint diseases caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian obstruction, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance some understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Soft tissue injuries (such as acute and chronic mastitis, breast hyperplasia, various sprains and falls) and bone and joint diseases (such as lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, arthritis, and lumbar muscle strain) are common and frequently occurring diseases in modern society. Clinically, they mainly manifest as local pain, swelling, stiffness, and functional impairment, causing great suffering to patients.
[0004] Currently, Western medicine treatments often involve oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), hormones, or surgical intervention, which carry risks such as gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney damage, and high surgical risks. Traditional Chinese medicine external therapies, especially traditional black plasters, are favored for their direct targeting of the affected area, long-lasting effects, ease of use, and minimal side effects. However, existing black plasters often have limited efficacy (focusing on analgesia or blood circulation) or complex formulas lacking specificity, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive and effective treatment for various pain syndromes involving multiple pathogenic mechanisms such as wind, cold, dampness, blood stasis, and stagnation. Furthermore, there are few commercially available topical compound preparations that can simultaneously and effectively target both breast diseases and neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, while also embodying the principle of "treating different diseases with the same method."
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a traditional Chinese medicine black plaster with a refined formula, scientific compatibility, definite efficacy, and clear scope of application to meet the clinical demand for safe, effective, and convenient topical analgesics. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a topical black plaster with a unique formula, mature preparation process, significant curative effect and wide applicability to various pain diseases caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a topical traditional Chinese medicine composition, which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 4-6 parts of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, 4-6 parts of Saposhnikovia divaricata, 4-6 parts of Clematis chinensis, 4-6 parts of Angelica dahurica, 4-6 parts of Carthamus tinctorius, 4-6 parts of Achyranthes bidentata, 4-6 parts of Paeonia lactiflora, 4-6 parts of Angelica sinensis, 4-6 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 4-6 parts of Boswellia carterii, 4-6 parts of Commiphora myrrha, 2-8 parts of Lemna minor, 2-8 parts of dried river shrimp, 30-40 parts of Litharge, and 70-90 parts of sesame oil.
[0008] Preferably, the raw materials and their weight parts of the external application traditional Chinese medicine composition are as follows: 5 parts of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, 5 parts of Saposhnikovia divaricata, 5 parts of Clematis chinensis, 5 parts of Angelica dahurica, 5 parts of Carthamus tinctorius, 5 parts of Achyranthes bidentata, 5 parts of Paeonia lactiflora, 5 parts of Angelica sinensis, 5 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 5 parts of Boswellia carterii, 5 parts of Commiphora myrrha, 3-5 parts of Lemna minor, 3-5 parts of dried river shrimp, 35 parts of Litharge, and 80 parts of sesame oil.
[0009] Secondly, the present invention provides a topical black plaster prepared from the traditional Chinese medicine composition described in the first aspect.
[0010] Thirdly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the topical black plaster described in the second aspect, comprising the following steps: (1) Prepare medicinal oil: Place Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Clematis armandii, Angelica dahurica, Carthamus tinctorius, Achyranthes bidentata, Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica sinensis, Citrus reticulata, Boswellia carterii, Commiphora myrrha, Lemna minor, and dried river shrimp in sesame oil and fry over low heat until the herbs are golden brown. Filter out the dregs to obtain medicinal oil. Refining the oil and adding the cinnabar to form the ointment: Continue to simmer the filtered medicinal oil over a low flame until it sinks into a round bead when dropped into cold water and becomes hard to the touch (i.e., "dropping water forms a bead"), then add the cinnabar and stir continuously until a black and shiny ointment is formed. (3) Remove heat toxins: Eliminate irritating components through cold water soaking process; (4) Spreading and shaping: Heat the plaster after removing the fire poison and melt it, then spread it on the backing material to obtain the finished external black plaster.
[0011] Fourthly, the present invention provides the application of the aforementioned external Chinese medicine composition or external black plaster in the preparation of a medicine for treating painful diseases caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian obstruction.
[0012] Preferably, the painful conditions include soft tissue injuries and / or osteoarthritis.
[0013] More preferably, the soft tissue injury includes mastitis, breast hyperplasia, acute sprains, and bruises.
[0014] More preferably, the osteoarthritis includes lumbar disc herniation, lumbar sprain, lumbar muscle strain, arthritis, and cervical spondylosis (including cervical stiffness and pain).
[0015] Compared with the related technologies known to the inventors, one of the technical solutions of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The formula is refined and scientifically formulated, embodying the principle of "treating different diseases with the same method": This invention targets the core pathogenesis of "qi stagnation and blood stasis, and meridian obstruction," integrating methods such as dispelling wind and cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing the meridians and collaterals, and expelling pathogens. In particular, the unique combination of duckweed and dried river shrimp achieves a synergistic effect of deep medicinal penetration and external dissipation of pathogens, enabling the same preparation to effectively treat breast diseases and bone and joint diseases with the same pathogenesis but different locations.
[0016] It has a definite curative effect and takes effect quickly: for pain caused by diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and mastitis, applying 3-6 patches can achieve significant improvement or even make the symptoms basically disappear.
[0017] Wide range of applications: Based on precise treatment of the core pathogenesis, this plaster can be widely used for various soft tissue and bone and joint pain caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian blockage, covering multiple parts such as the breast, lumbar spine, cervical spine, and joints.
[0018] Safe and convenient to use: Pure Chinese herbal medicine for external application, absorbed through the skin, with a long-lasting and gentle effect. It is also treated with a "detoxification" process, resulting in minimal skin irritation and high patient compliance.
[0019] The process is mature and stable: the key steps of the preparation process are clearly defined, the quality is controllable, and it is easy to standardize production. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The formulation principle and theoretical basis of this invention (I) Core theoretical foundation: "treating different diseases with the same method" and the theory of "arthralgia"
[0027] Breast diseases (such as breast hyperplasia and mastitis) and neck, shoulder, back and leg pain (such as cervical spondylosis and osteoarthritis) may seem to be internal and external, but in traditional Chinese medicine theory, their core pathogenesis can indeed be unified under "qi stagnation and blood stasis, and meridian obstruction". The theoretical root can be traced back to the classic Chinese medicine text, "Huangdi Neijing".
[0028] 1. Shared theoretical foundation: The theory of "Bi syndrome" in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic The Inner Canon of Medicine believes that the core meaning of "Bi" is the blockage of Qi, blood and meridians.
[0029] “Bi” means “blockage”: the “Bi” discussed in the book specifically refers to the pathogenesis of “obstruction and stagnation”. As stated in the opening of “Suwen·Bi Lun”: “When wind, cold and dampness come together, they combine to form Bi.” Although it refers to external pathogens, the ultimate outcome of Bi syndrome is that it leads to stagnation of Qi and blood circulation and blockage of meridian channels.
[0030] The complex pathogenesis of "interplay between old and new": The occurrence of arthralgia is often not due to a single cause, but rather "interplay between old and new"—that is, the combination of pre-existing pathogenic factors (such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm turbidity, and emotional trauma) with newly acquired pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, and dampness from the outside world, leading to the onset of the disease. This indicates that internal imbalance of qi and blood is an important basis for the occurrence of arthralgia.
[0031] Conclusion: Whether the pain is caused by external wind-cold-dampness directly "blocking" the meridians of the limbs, or by internal emotional distress and dysfunction of the internal organs leading to stagnation of qi and blood and "blocking" the mammary meridians to form lumps, both are consistent with the definition of "Bi" in the "Neijing" (Inner Canon of Medicine) - the final pathological state is the stagnation of qi and blood and obstruction of meridians.
[0032] 2. Breast diseases: Initially caused by liver stagnation, leading to blood stasis in the collaterals. The core issue in breast diseases is liver qi stagnation. The Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian runs through the hypochondrium and breasts; the liver governs the free flow of qi and regulates its movement. If emotions are not smooth, liver qi stagnates, then: Qi stagnation: When the flow of Qi is obstructed, it first leads to breast swelling and pain, which is localized (migratory). This is closely related to emotions and the menstrual cycle.
[0033] Blood stasis: Qi is the commander of blood. When Qi stagnates, blood circulation is obstructed, eventually leading to blood stasis. Blood stasis, combined with Qi stagnation and phlegm accumulation, can form a relatively hard, tender, and fixed breast lump.
[0034] Phlegm accumulation: Liver stagnation can invade the spleen, and when the spleen fails to function properly, dampness accumulates and phlegm forms. The mutual binding of phlegm and blood stasis makes the mass more stubborn.
[0035] The pathogenesis chain is as follows: emotional distress → stagnation of liver qi (qi stagnation) → poor blood circulation (blood stasis) → impaired distribution of body fluids (phlegm accumulation) → qi, phlegm, and blood stasis intertwine, obstructing the mammary collaterals → forming mastopathy (hyperplasia) or breast cancer (tumor). Therefore, breast diseases are a typical manifestation of the pathogenesis of "qi stagnation and blood stasis, and obstruction of meridians" in the internal organs and meridians (especially the liver and stomach meridians).
[0036] 3. Neck, shoulder, lower back and leg pain: caused by external pathogens and overexertion, resulting in obstruction of the meridians. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), neck, shoulder, lower back, and leg pain often fall under the categories of "muscle and tendon pain" and "bone and tendon pain." Its pathogenesis also begins with "obstruction of flow." External pathogenic factors obstructing the flow of qi and blood: The neck, shoulders, waist, and legs are on the surface of the body and are easily invaded by external pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, and dampness. When these pathogenic factors invade the meridians, they obstruct the flow of qi and blood, causing pain due to blockage. Symptoms include soreness, pain, numbness, and heaviness in the joints and muscles.
[0037] Strain leading to blood stasis: Long-term improper posture or chronic strain can cause "external injury" to local muscles and bones. The Ling Shu·Zei Feng states, "If one falls or falls, the stagnant blood remains inside and does not go away." Coupled with exposure to wind and cold, this will lead to "blood and qi stagnation," resulting in cold bi syndrome. This directly corresponds to common chronic musculoskeletal diseases in modern times, one of the core pathogenesis of which is "qi and blood stagnation."
[0038] The root cause is deficiency and the manifestation is excess: In the later stages of the disease or in elderly patients, there is often a deficiency of liver and kidney and insufficient qi and blood, which leads to malnourishment of tendons and bones; at the same time, there is an excess of wind, cold and dampness, blood stasis and phlegm, which obstruct the meridians, forming a complex situation of mixed deficiency and excess.
[0039] The pathogenesis chain is as follows: external invasion of wind, cold, and dampness / chronic strain → obstruction of the flow of qi and blood in the meridians (qi stagnation and blood stasis) → local malnutrition, and pain due to obstruction → manifested as pain, numbness, and limited movement in the limbs and joints. Therefore, neck, shoulder, waist, and leg pain is a direct manifestation of the pathogenesis of "qi stagnation and blood stasis, and obstruction of the meridians" in the muscles, bones, and meridians of the body surface.
[0040] 4. Comparison of similarities and differences and clinical significance To more clearly understand the connection and differences between the two, a detailed comparison is as follows:
[0041] This common theoretical core: It explains the treatment of different diseases with the same method: Based on the principle of "pain due to obstruction, relief from pain when the obstruction is removed", whether it is the distending pain in the breast or the stabbing pain in the joints, as long as the syndrome differentiation belongs to qi stagnation and blood stasis, the treatment can focus on the word "removing obstruction", such as soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to remove stasis, resolving phlegm and dissipating nodules, dredging collaterals and relieving pain, etc.
[0042] It reveals the disease association: People with long-term emotional depression (liver qi stagnation) are not only prone to breast hyperplasia, but also often more likely to be invaded by external pathogens or suffer from strain due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and weakness in defending the exterior, which can induce pain in the neck, shoulders, waist and legs, forming a complex situation of internal and external diseases coexisting.
[0043] Generally speaking, breast diseases and pain in the neck, shoulders, waist and legs, one internal and one external, one is caused by emotional injury leading to qi and blood stagnation in the breast collaterals, and the other is caused by external pathogens and strain leading to qi and blood obstruction in the muscles and bones. Their symptoms and disease locations are very different, but tracing back to the essence of their pathogenesis, they both do not deviate from the core of the "bi" syndrome in "Huangdi Neijing" which is "qi and blood stagnation, collaterals obstruction", and they are manifestations of the same pathological mechanism in different parts.
[0044] (2) Analysis of the compatibility of the formula 1. Compatibility of monarch, minister, assistant and courier drugs The formula of this invention strictly follows the compatibility principle of "monarch, minister, assistant and courier drugs" in traditional Chinese medicine. Each drug has a clear role and works synergistically to treat the syndrome of "qi stagnation and blood stasis, collaterals obstruction".
[0045] 1) Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq., Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk., Herba Speranskiae tuberculatae, Angelica dahurica (Fisch. ex Hoffm.) Benth. et Hook. f. ex Franch. et Sav. These four herbs are the monarch drugs in the formula, jointly achieving the effects of dispelling wind and cold, and penetrating the muscles and bones. Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. and Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. are used in combination, opening the pores, dispersing wind-cold, and expelling pathogenic factors outside. Herba Speranskiae tuberculatae specializes in treating pain due to bone and muscle obstruction, leading the medicinal power deep into the affected area. Angelica dahurica (Fisch. ex Hoffm.) Benth. et Hook. f. ex Franch. et Sav. is pungent, warm and fragrant, dispersing cold and relieving pain, especially good at opening the orifices. The four herbs work together to break the external attack of wind-cold-damp pathogens and pave the way for the whole formula.
[0046] 2) Flos Carthami, Cyathula officinalis Kuan, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. These four herbs are the minister drugs, mainly promoting blood circulation to remove stasis and dredging channels to relieve pain. Flos Carthami breaks blood stasis and promotes qi movement, Radix Paeoniae Rubra cools blood and reduces swelling, and the two herbs promote blood circulation without being dry. Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. nourishes blood and promotes blood circulation, and also moistens the tendons and vessels. Cyathula officinalis Kuan guides blood downward, strengthens the muscles and bones, and dredges the joints. The combination of the monarch and minister drugs not only disperses external pathogens but also resolves internal stasis, conforming to the pathogenesis of "bi syndrome with more stasis".
[0047] 3) Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, Olibanum, Myrrha, Herba Desmodii Styracifolii, dried river shrimp. These five herbs are the assistant drugs. Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae: regulates qi and strengthens the spleen, preventing the plaster from being sticky and obstructing the stomach, and promoting qi movement so as to promote blood circulation. Olibanum, Myrrha: This pair of herbs is essential for treating traumatic injuries, assisting the minister drugs to enhance the power of promoting blood circulation to relieve pain, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing swelling.
[0048] Herba Desmodii Styracifolii: floating and ascending, assisting the monarch drugs to disperse exterior pathogens, and also promoting diuresis and resolving dampness. Dried river shrimp is used as a drug guide: dried river shrimp is salty, warm and enters the kidney, commonly used to warm and dredge channels, strengthen yang and dissipate nodules, assisting in removing deep-lying cold and dampness. This group of herbs takes into account both qi and blood, with a combination of dispersing and promoting, making the whole formula dispel pathogenic factors without harming healthy qi.
[0049] 4) Sesame oil and red lead are used as guiding ingredients. Sesame oil serves as the base for the ointment; its moisturizing properties nourish the skin, allowing the medicinal effects to penetrate, while also detoxifying and moisturizing. Red lead, pungent and slightly cold in nature, has the effects of drawing out toxins, promoting tissue regeneration, and astringing sores. When combined with the oil to form an ointment, it is shaped and molded, allowing the medicinal effects to be released slowly and for a longer duration. These two ingredients, one gentle and one strong, work together as guiding ingredients, carrying the other medicines directly to the affected area and securing the medicinal effects at the site of infection.
[0050] Synergistic effects of this formula: It treats both internal and external ailments, addressing both the exterior and the interior. 1) The combination of dispersing cold from the surface (Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Duckweed) and penetrating deep into the muscles and bones (Clematis chinensis, Achyranthes bidentata) leaves no place for evil to hide; 2) Combining blood-activating and stasis-removing herbs (safflower, red peony root, frankincense and myrrh) with qi-regulating and stagnation-relieving herbs (tangerine peel, angelica root) to regulate both qi and blood; 3) The warming and dispersing properties (Angelica dahurica, river shrimp) are balanced with the blood-cooling and swelling-reducing properties (Paeonia lactiflora), resulting in a warming effect without causing dryness; 4) With oil as the base, the properties of various medicines can be absorbed into the meridians through the skin, which can be used to treat chronic muscle and bone pain and old injuries from falls and blows.
[0051] This formula can be used for joint swelling and pain caused by wind-cold-dampness, traumatic injuries, and difficulty in flexion and extension, or for carbuncles in their early stages before ulceration.
[0052] 2. Three-dimensional treatment strategy: "Open the door to expel the enemy, penetrate deep into the enemy camp, break through the blockage pathways, and warm and consolidate the defenses." The core condition treated by this formula is "wind, cold, and dampness invading the muscles and meridians, leading to stagnation of qi and blood, and pain due to obstruction." It is commonly seen in "bi syndrome" characterized by cold pain and limited flexibility in joints, or breast pain and meridian blockage in women caused by anger, or swelling and pain resulting from old injuries or falls. Therefore, the general principle of this formula is: "Open the gates to expel the enemy, penetrate deep into the enemy camp, break up the stagnation and obstruct the pathways, and warm and consolidate the defenses."
[0053] Below, this principle of formulation will be broken down into four progressive strategic steps: Step 1: Opening the Door to Expel the Invaders (Solving the Pathogenic Factors) Wind, cold, and dampness are the first external pathogens to invade the body. They block the skin and pores (the body's gateways), causing internal imbalances in Qi and blood. The first step in treatment is not to directly attack the internal organs, but to expel these external pathogens, giving them a "way out." Use Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Angelica dahurica, and Duckweed. These herbs are light and ascending, like opening a window. Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia are good at dispersing wind and cold, releasing the surface constriction; Angelica dahurica is pungent and fragrant, able to open the orifices and relieve pain, especially good at expelling wind and cold from the head, face, and skin; Duckweed is light and ascending, able to disperse wind and heat and promote urination, helping dampness to be expelled through sweat or urination. These four herbs work together to disperse the wind, cold, and dampness entrenched on the surface, thus "giving the pathogens a way out."
[0054] Step 2: Penetrate the enemy camp and directly attack the seat of the disease (solve the location of pathogenic factors). If the pathogenic factors are only on the body surface, sweating will do. However, the pain of arthromyodynia and old injuries lies in that the pathogenic qi has penetrated deep into the bones, joints, and muscles, the "deep enemy camps". Ordinary medicinal power is difficult to reach. Use speranskia tuberculata, cyathula officinalis, and dried river shrimps. This is the subtlety of this prescription. Speranskia tuberculata, as its name implies, can lead the medicinal power into the bone marrow; cyathula officinalis can not only activate blood circulation but also lead blood and medicine downward, directly reaching the deep joints below the waist and knees; dried river shrimps take their salty and warm nature of running around, drilling through the stagnation in the meridians like swimming shrimps in water. These three herbs form a "special force", leading the medicinal power of the whole prescription to the deepest and most painful focus.
[0055] Step 3: Break up stasis and clear the path, clean the battlefield (solve the core pathology). The invasion of exogenous pathogens and the long-term non-healing will inevitably lead to poor local qi and blood circulation, forming "stasis of blood". Stasis of blood is the direct cause of pain, swelling, and limited movement. Only expelling pathogenic factors without removing stasis of blood makes it difficult to remove the root cause of the disease. Use safflower, red peony root, angelica sinensis, frankincense, myrrh, and dried tangerine peel. This is a powerful "troop for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis". Safflower and red peony root are the main forces for breaking up stasis and promoting blood circulation, directly attacking blood stasis clots. Angelica sinensis is the "saint medicine in blood", which can both enrich blood and activate blood circulation. Adding angelica sinensis to a large number of blood-activating herbs is to make the blood-activating effect without damaging blood, with the subtlety of "increasing water to facilitate the movement of the boat". Frankincense and myrrh are important herbs for traumatic injuries. Used in combination, they can not only activate blood circulation but also promote qi movement, relieve pain, and promote granulation, having a special effect on the severe pain caused by stasis of blood and swelling.
[0056] Dried tangerine peel regulates qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "qi is the commander of blood", and when qi moves, blood moves. Dried tangerine peel is like a commander on the battlefield, mobilizing the qi and blood to move, helping the stasis-removing herbs to play a better role. At the same time, it also prevents the plaster from being too greasy.
[0057] Step 4: Warm and dredge for consolidation, long-term slow attack (solve the problems of dosage form and long-lasting medicinal power). All the above-mentioned herbs need a carrier to "stick" them to the affected area and let the medicinal power penetrate slowly, continuously, and gently. This is the essence of the black plaster dosage form (based on oil and red lead).
[0058] Use sesame oil and red lead. Sesame oil: It has a moist nature, can nourish the skin, and prevent the pungent and dry herbs from burning the skin. As a matrix, it can fully extract the effective components of all herbs. Red lead: When combined with oil through high-temperature refining, it forms a plaster. It can make the medicinal properties become "stable", changing from "swift" to "lasting", transforming the pungent-dispersing and blood-activating power of various herbs into a gentle and continuous "warming and dredging" power, acting on the affected area for a long time like hot compress, slowly melting the deep cold-dampness and stasis of blood.
[0059] Summary of the principle: The compatibility of this prescription is not a simple superposition of medicinal effects but a complete "three-dimensional combat" plan: 1. Eliminate pathogens from the exterior and interior: Use wind herbs (schizonepeta and ledebouriella) to expel pathogenic factors from the body surface and use herbs for leading through the bones (speranskia tuberculata and achyranthes bidentata) to attack pathogenic factors from the inside.
[0060] 2. Regulating Qi and Blood: It uses blood-activating herbs (red peony root, peony root, angelica root) to treat blood stasis, and qi-regulating herbs (tangerine peel, frankincense and myrrh) to promote qi circulation, which conforms to the ancient saying "Treat wind by first treating blood stasis, and when blood circulates smoothly, wind will naturally subside".
[0061] 3. Combination of activity and stillness: A large number of pungent and volatile active ingredients (such as angelica, myrrh, and river shrimp) are "active" and used to attack pathogens; while the ointment base made from cinnamon oil is "still" and used to retain and slow-release the medicine. This combination of activity and stillness ensures that the medicinal effect is long-lasting and gentle.
[0062] 4. Outward and inward journey: Give external pathogens an "outward journey" (dispersion), give internal medicine an "inward journey" (guiding to the meridians), give stagnant blood a "pathway" (blood circulation), and finally use plaster to "secure" all the power to the lesion.
[0063] In this way, the formula forms a complete therapeutic loop, from the skin to the bones and muscles, from the Qi to the blood, and from rapid dispersion to long-lasting warming and unblocking. This is a vivid manifestation of the philosophical thought of "principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide" in traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions, working synergistically to achieve the desired effect.
[0064] (III) The unique effects of key medicinal materials 1. The mechanism and basis of action of duckweed: a "light cavalry" that opens the pores and draws pathogens to the surface. In this formula, duckweed plays the role of a guiding herb that "reaches the exterior from the interior," and its function is unique and irreplaceable.
[0065] (1) Core function and ancient text basis: Duckweed is pungent and cold in nature, light and floating, and good at opening the pores. According to Li Shizhen's "one leaf grows into several leaves overnight" and "Correct Interpretation of Materia Medica", its growth characteristic is "one leaf grows into several leaves overnight", which means it is full of vitality and is considered to be "a yang energy rising from cold water", so it is good at expelling pathogenic factors.
[0066] Sweating without harming the body's vital energy: Unlike strong diaphoretics such as ephedra, the "Correct Interpretation of Materia Medica" points out that duckweed, "although said to induce sweating, is not warm in nature, and there is no risk of excessive sweating." This is especially important for plasters that need to be applied for a long time, as it can avoid excessive depletion of the body's surface fluids.
[0067] It can also dispel wind, relieve itching, and promote diuresis: It can also dispel wind and relieve itching, and use its diuretic properties to guide the dampness between the skin out.
[0068] (2) Unique value in this case: The formula already contains herbs like Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia, which dispel wind and cold. However, the addition of Duckweed enhances its ability to penetrate the skin horizontally. It can guide the "stasis" and "dampness" resolved by the blood-activating and stasis-removing herbs in the formula (such as Safflower, Frankincense, and Myrrh), as well as the "latent evil" deeply penetrated by Clematis chinensis, from the levels of muscles and meridians to the surface of the skin, truly achieving "giving the evil a way out".
[0069] 2. The Mechanism of Action of Dried River Shrimp and Supporting Evidence from Classical Texts: "Sailing Engineers" that penetrate deep into saline-temperature environments. Dried river shrimp is a unique folk remedy, its core function being "to unblock" or "clear."
[0070] (1) Core function and ancient text basis: According to historical records on the "commonality" of river shrimp, based on a synthesis of multiple ancient texts, the "commonality" of river shrimp is mainly reflected in: Promoting lactation: The Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement records that it can "promote lactation". Relieving stagnation and eliminating toxins: It can be used for "measles with poor eruption, carbuncles, and malignant nodules", meaning it has the effect of expelling and clearing internal toxins.
[0071] Tongyangdao: The Compendium of Materia Medica records that it can "strengthen the yang meridian". This "strengthening the yang meridian" is not just a simple warming and tonifying, but also includes the meaning of unblocking the kidney meridian and invigorating the circulation of yang energy.
[0072] The physical properties of shrimp as a medium for "unblocking meridians": Shrimp live in water and are adept at swimming and burrowing. Their nature is salty and warm. Saltiness can soften hardened masses and disperse lumps, while warmth can promote blood circulation. Traditional Chinese medicine, using analogy and metaphor, believes that shrimp possess the ability to penetrate and move, especially adept at reaching deep into the gaps between muscles and bones, and areas of stagnation in the meridians, thus achieving the effect of unblocking meridians and dispersing lumps. This is reflected in the medicinal experience of many regions.
[0073] (2) The unique value of this formula: Although the formula contains Achyranthes bidentata to guide the medicine downwards and Clematis chinensis to penetrate the muscles and bones, the addition of dried river shrimp is like sending out an engineering corps skilled in working in narrow places. With its salty and warm properties, it can enhance the formula's ability to penetrate deep obstructions and resolve long-standing stagnation. Its "unblocking" property is especially crucial for joint stiffness and difficulty in flexion and extension caused by long-term illness.
[0074] Summary of Collaborative Relationships: Constructing a Three-Dimensional Pathway for "Separation and Elimination of Internal and External Factors" These two adjuvant herbs work synergistically with the entire formula to form a sophisticated "internal and external differentiation and elimination" strategy: Duckweed penetrates the exterior to expel pathogenic factors, opens the pores, and promotes urination from the interior (muscles, meridians) to the exterior (skin), dispersing outwards and upwards. Li Shizhen discussed its vitality; *Ben Cao Zheng Yi* states that it promotes sweating in a mild way. It acts as an "exit" guide, ultimately expelling the "pathological products" of internalized blood stasis and dampness to the body surface. Dried river shrimp clears the meridians and disperses stagnation; its salty and warm properties allow it to penetrate deep into the muscles, bones, and joints, reaching deep into areas of stagnation. *Ben Cao Gang Mu* records its "yang-strengthening" properties; *Ben Cao Gang Mu Shi Yi* records its "lactation-promoting" properties, demonstrating its "unblocking" nature. It acts as a "deep-penetrating" agent, enhancing the ability of prescriptions to penetrate deep and long-standing pathogenic factors.
[0075] In simple terms, dried river shrimp helps to "get things in," addressing the problem of pathogens being "deeply hidden," while duckweed helps to "get things out," addressing the problem of pathological products having "narrow exit routes." The two, one deep and one shallow, one inside and one outside, together ensure the perfect execution of the overall strategy of "opening the door to expel the enemy, penetrating deep into the enemy camp, and breaking through the blockages."
[0076] Among them, dried river shrimp (hereinafter referred to as "shrimp") is used medicinally, and its "penetrating" properties are clearly recorded in the authoritative national pharmacopoeia of traditional Chinese medicine, *Zhonghua Bencao*. The properties, flavors, meridian tropism, and indications of dried river shrimp are recorded in […]. Figure 1 .
[0077] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
