AI Technical Summary
Patients with insomnia after stroke who use benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines as sedative-hypnotics long-term face risks of drug dependence and cognitive impairment. Furthermore, elderly patients with impaired liver and kidney function are at high risk of drug accumulation. Therefore, exploring safe and effective non-pharmacological interventions has become an urgent clinical need.
This product is a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask made from a traditional Chinese medicine composition consisting of chrysanthemum, perilla leaf, angelica, and clove. The medicine is distributed through a herbal pouch inside the eye mask. The combination of the calming and descending properties of chrysanthemum and the relieving properties of perilla leaf, along with the opening-up properties of angelica and the warming and descending properties of clove, provides a calming and sleep-aiding effect.
It effectively improves sleep quality in stroke patients with insomnia, shortens sleep onset time, reduces nighttime awakenings, prolongs total sleep time, increases treatment effectiveness, reduces the risk of drug dependence, and is applicable to traditional Chinese medicine nursing techniques.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, and more specifically, to a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask. Background Technology
[0002] Post-stroke insomnia is one of the most common complications in stroke patients, with an incidence rate as high as 60%-80%, posing a serious threat to the patient's recovery process. This type of insomnia is not a simple sleep problem, but a complex condition involving multiple factors, mainly manifested as prolonged sleep latency (often exceeding 30 minutes), increased nighttime awakenings (≥2 times), difficulty falling back asleep after early awakening, and a significant reduction in total sleep time (mostly less than 5 hours). Long-term sleep disorders can create a vicious cycle: on the one hand, insufficient sleep leads to increased sympathetic nerve excitability and elevated serum cortisol levels, exacerbating negative emotions such as anxiety and depression—clinical data shows that the incidence of depression in stroke patients with insomnia is 2.3 times higher than in patients without insomnia; on the other hand, emotional disturbances further disrupt sleep structure, while also affecting the recovery of neurological function, reducing the speed of limb function recovery by more than 30%, significantly prolonging hospitalization time, and increasing the medical burden. Currently, clinical intervention for post-stroke insomnia primarily relies on medication. While benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines can temporarily improve sleep, long-term use has significant limitations: approximately 25% of patients develop drug dependence, 15% experience cognitive impairment, and elderly patients face a higher risk of drug accumulation due to impaired liver and kidney function, with a potentially 40% increased incidence of falls. Therefore, exploring safe and effective non-pharmacological interventions has become an urgent clinical need. In light of this, this invention proposes a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] The first aspect of the present invention provides a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask, which is made from the following raw materials in the following weight ratio: 8 parts chrysanthemum, 4 parts perilla leaves, 2 parts angelica dahurica and 1 part clove.
[0006] A second aspect of the present invention also provides a calming and sleep-aiding eye mask, comprising an eye mask, the inside of which is hollow, and a traditional Chinese medicine bag may be placed inside the eye mask, the traditional Chinese medicine bag containing the traditional Chinese medicine composition as described in claim 1.
[0007] In conjunction with the second aspect, the present invention is further configured such that elastic bands are fixedly connected to both sides of the eye mask.
[0008] In conjunction with the second aspect, the present invention is further configured such that: a zipper is sewn onto the top of the eye mask, through which the herbal medicine bag can be replaced.
[0009] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] In the herbal composition of this invention, the principal ingredient (chrysanthemum for its calming and descending properties) and the assistant ingredient (perilla leaf for its relieving of depression) together constitute the main force for calming the mind. The adjuvant ingredient (angelica dahurica for its orifice-opening properties) addresses the accompanying headache, but its pungent and dispersing properties are restrained by the principal ingredient. The dispersing properties of clove are guided upwards, but its stimulating effects need to be controlled with extremely small doses. This composition effectively improves sleep quality in stroke patients with insomnia, shortens sleep onset time, reduces the number of nighttime awakenings, prolongs total sleep time, increases the overall treatment effectiveness, and enhances nursing satisfaction. As a traditional Chinese medicine nursing technique, it is worthy of clinical promotion and application. Attached Figure Description
