Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Rhinitis is a common upper respiratory tract disease in clinical practice, and its incidence is on the rise worldwide. Patients often experience recurrent symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching, and decreased sense of smell, which seriously affect their quality of life, work efficiency, and sleep quality. It can also induce complications such as asthma and otitis media, placing a heavy health and economic burden on patients.

[0003] Currently, modern medicine treats rhinitis primarily through medication and surgical intervention. Commonly used medications include nasal corticosteroids and antihistamines, but these have drawbacks such as easy relapse upon discontinuation and adverse local or systemic reactions with long-term use, and their effectiveness is limited for complex and refractory rhinitis.

[0004] In traditional Chinese medicine, the pathogenesis of rhinitis is often attributed to external pathogenic factors. Among the common clinical patterns, the Yin deficiency and cold stagnation type is particularly challenging. These patients often have a constitution of Yin deficiency and depletion of body fluids, compounded by exposure to cold pathogens, or suffer from Yin-Yang deficiency due to prolonged illness, leading to a complex pathogenesis of cold stagnation in the nasal passages, internal disturbance of deficiency heat, and condensation of body fluids into nasal discharge. Clinical manifestations, in addition to nasal congestion and runny nose, are often accompanied by dry throat and nose, aversion to cold and cold limbs, red tongue with little saliva, and a thin, tight pulse, indicating a complex interplay of cold and heat. Classic formulas such as Xiao Qinglong Tang and Cang Er Zi San are effective, but Xiao Qinglong Tang is too warming and dispersing, easily damaging Yin fluids; Cang Er Zi San excels at opening the nasal passages but lacks sufficient warming and moistening properties; conventional Yin-nourishing formulas are insufficient for dispelling cold and unblocking the meridians. Therefore, current treatment methods struggle to balance nourishing Yin and dispelling cold, moistening dryness and opening the nasal passages, and supporting the body's resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, easily leading to inconsistent efficacy and prolonged symptoms. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a new Chinese herbal medicine formula that, while inheriting the essence of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, can more comprehensively and deeply address the complex pathogenesis of rhinitis, achieving both symptomatic and root-cause treatment, combining attack and tonification, and regulating both the lungs and heart. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition and preparation method for treating rhinitis, in order to solve the technical problems of poor treatment effect and recurrent rhinitis.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis, comprising the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 8-15g, Cinnamon Twig 7-16g, White Peony Root 6-14g, Asarum 2-6g, Dried Ginger 8-18g, Schisandra Fruit 6-15g Prepared licorice root 8-16g, magnolia flower 10-16g, angelica root 6-12g, prepared aconite root 3-8g, bitter clove 3-8g, amber 4-10g.

[0007] Further optimization, consisting of the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 10-13g, Cinnamon Twig 9-14g, White Peony Root 8-12g, Asarum 3-5g, Dried Ginger 10-16g, Schisandra Fruit 8-13g, Prepared Licorice Root 10-14g, Magnolia Flower 11-15g, Angelica Root 7-11g, Prepared Aconite Root 4-7g, Bitter Clove 4-7g, Amber 6-8g.

[0008] Further optimization involves that the dosage form of the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis is a powder.

[0009] A method for using a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis according to claim 1 includes the following steps: taking raw materials in parts by weight, pouring them into a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer, and pulverizing them into powder.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are: This invention uses ephedra as the principal ingredient, which has the effects of dispersing cold and relieving cough, clearing the lungs and relieving exterior symptoms, and opening the pores. Cinnamon twig, magnolia flower, angelica root, and asarum are used as assistant ingredients. Cinnamon twig assists ephedra in relieving exterior symptoms and dispersing cold, while also warming yang and transforming qi, alleviating nasal coldness caused by cold pathogens and its aggravation upon exposure to cold. Magnolia flower and angelica root are key herbs for clearing nasal passages, directly relieving nasal congestion and runny nose. Angelica root can also stop frontal headaches caused by rhinitis. Asarum assists ephedra in relieving exterior symptoms, while also warming and transforming cold phlegm in the nasal passages, clearing the nasal passages and relieving pain, enhancing the core effects of dispersing cold and clearing the nasal passages. Dried ginger, prepared aconite root, bitter clove, white peony root, and schisandra are used as adjuvant ingredients. Dried ginger warms the yang of the lungs and spleen, transforms cold phlegm in the nasal passages, and reduces the production of clear nasal discharge. Prepared aconite root has the effect of tonifying primordial yang and enhancing the warming yang power of dried ginger, mainly targeting recurrent rhinitis due to yang deficiency. Bitter clove removes damp and sticky nasal discharge and assists in clearing the nasal passages. Amber invigorates blood circulation and removes blood stasis, relieving nasal congestion caused by nasal turbinate stasis, while also calming the mind and improving sleep; white peony root nourishes yin and blood, preventing excessive dispersing of ephedra and cinnamon twig from depleting yin fluids; schisandra fruit astringes lung qi, stops clear nasal discharge, and simultaneously counteracts the warming and drying properties of asarum and dried ginger. Prepared licorice root is used as the guiding herb to harmonize the warming and dispersing properties of ephedra and asarum, as well as the warming properties of prepared aconite and dried ginger, while also tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, reducing the irritating effect of the drugs on the spleen and stomach.

[0011] This invention is mainly aimed at rhinitis with a complex syndrome of wind-cold binding the exterior, yang deficiency and phlegm retention, and nasal obstruction. This formula can quickly stop the symptoms and reduce recurrence, eliminate pathogens without harming the body's vital energy, and avoid the side effects of clearing the nasal passages and damaging yin. It can overcome the difficult symptoms of stubborn nasal congestion and turbinate hypertrophy, and solve the problem of turbinate hypertrophy and nasal obstruction caused by long-term rhinitis that ordinary nasal passage clearing formulas cannot solve, thus demonstrating higher clinical practical value.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0015] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0016] This invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis, which is in the form of a powder and comprises the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 8-15g, Cinnamon Twig 7-16g, White Peony Root 6-14g, Asarum 2-6g, Dried Ginger 8-18g, Schisandra Fruit 6-15g Prepared licorice root 8-16g, magnolia flower 10-16g, angelica root 6-12g, prepared aconite root 3-8g, bitter clove 3-8g, amber 4-10g.

[0017] The following steps are used to prepare the herbal composition for treating rhinitis: Take the raw materials by weight, pour them into a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer, and pulverize them into powder.

[0018] Further optimization: Ephedra 8g, Cinnamon Twig 7g, White Peony Root 6g, Asarum 2g, Dried Ginger 8g, Schisandra Fruit 6g, Prepared Licorice Root 8g, Magnolia Flower 10g, Angelica Root 6g, Black Aconite 3g, Bitter Clove 3g, Amber 4g.

[0019] This invention uses ephedra as the principal ingredient, which has the effects of dispersing cold and relieving cough, clearing the lungs and relieving exterior symptoms, and opening the pores. Cinnamon twig, magnolia flower, angelica root, and asarum are used as assistant ingredients. Cinnamon twig assists ephedra in relieving exterior symptoms and dispersing cold, while also warming yang and transforming qi, alleviating nasal coldness caused by cold pathogens and its aggravation upon exposure to cold. Magnolia flower and angelica root are key herbs for clearing nasal passages, directly relieving nasal congestion and runny nose. Angelica root can also stop frontal headaches caused by rhinitis. Asarum assists ephedra in relieving exterior symptoms, while also warming and transforming cold phlegm in the nasal passages, clearing the nasal passages and relieving pain, enhancing the core effects of dispersing cold and clearing the nasal passages. Dried ginger, prepared aconite root, bitter clove, white peony root, and schisandra fruit are used as adjuvant ingredients. Dried ginger warms the yang of the lungs and spleen, transforms cold phlegm in the nasal passages, and reduces the production of clear nasal discharge. Prepared aconite root has the effect of tonifying primordial yang and enhancing the warming yang power of dried ginger, mainly targeting recurrent rhinitis due to yang deficiency. Bitter clove removes damp and sticky nasal discharge and assists in clearing the nasal passages. Amber invigorates blood circulation and removes blood stasis, relieving nasal congestion caused by nasal turbinate stasis, while also calming the mind and improving sleep; white peony root nourishes yin and blood, preventing excessive dispersing of ephedra and cinnamon twig from depleting yin fluids; schisandra fruit astringes lung qi, stops clear nasal discharge, and simultaneously counteracts the warming and drying properties of asarum and dried ginger. Prepared licorice root is used as the guiding herb to harmonize the warming and dispersing properties of ephedra and asarum, as well as the warming properties of prepared aconite and dried ginger, while also tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, reducing the irritating effect of the drugs on the spleen and stomach.

[0020] Asarum, clove, and amber in this invention's formula function to "warm and unblock, dispel turbidity, and invigorate blood." Asarum primarily targets the head, face, nasal passages, and skin surface, resolving blockages caused by external wind-cold or internal cold-dampness. Clove primarily targets the middle and upper jiao (upper and middle burner), clearing tangible pathogens through vomiting and opening channels for the downward flow of qi. Amber, sweet and neutral, enters the blood, providing an outlet for pathogens and calming the mind. Thus, the combination of these three ingredients has a dispersing, purging, and unblocking effect, creating a multi-faceted effect of clearing the nasal passages.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis, comprising the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 10g, Cinnamon Twig 10g, White Peony Root 10g, Asarum 4g, Dried Ginger 12g, Schisandra Fruit 10g, Prepared Licorice Root 10g, Magnolia Flower 12g, Angelica Dahurica 8g, Black Aconite 6g, Bitter Clove 3g, Amber 7g.

[0023] The preparation method of this traditional Chinese medicine composition is as follows: S1. Grind ephedra, cinnamon twig, white peony root, schisandra fruit, and prepared licorice root into powder, and pass through a 100-mesh sieve for later use; S2. Crush the magnolia flower and dried ginger into powder, and pass them through a 100-mesh sieve for later use; S3. Grind Angelica dahurica, Asarum heterotropoides, Aconitum carmichaelii, Syzygium aromaticum, and amber separately and pass them through a 100-mesh sieve for later use. S4. The fine powders of the raw materials from steps S1-S3 are mixed together to obtain a powdered mixture, which is the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis, comprising the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 8g, Cinnamon Twig 10g, White Peony Root 8g, Asarum 5g, Dried Ginger 8g, Schisandra Fruit 9g, Prepared Licorice Root 10g, Magnolia Flower 11g, Angelica Root 7g, Black Aconite 5g, Bitter Clove 5g, Amber 10g.

[0026] The preparation method is the same as in Example 1.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis, comprising the following raw materials by weight: Ephedra 15g, Cinnamon Twig 16g, White Peony Root 14g, Asarum 6g, Dried Ginger 18g, Schisandra Fruit 15g, Prepared Licorice Root 16g, Magnolia Flower 16g, Angelica Root 12g, Black Aconite 8g, Bitter Clove 8g, Amber 10g.

[0029] The preparation method is the same as in Example 1.

[0030] Among the above-mentioned drugs, the following are included: Ephedra and cinnamon twig induce sweating and relieve exterior syndromes. Ephedra can also promote lung function, relieve asthma, and reduce swelling. Cinnamon twig warms the meridians and assists yang and qi. The two drugs work synergistically to enhance their effects.

[0031] Dried ginger and asarum warm the lungs and resolve phlegm. Asarum relieves exterior symptoms, dispels cold, eliminates wind, relieves pain, and clears the orifices. Both help ephedra and cinnamon twig to relieve exterior symptoms and expel pathogens.

[0032] White peony nourishes blood and regulates menstruation, while schisandra has astringent properties due to its sourness, nourishing properties due to its sweetness, and warm properties due to its coldness. Both serve as adjuvant herbs.

[0033] Prepared licorice root invigorates qi and harmonizes the middle jiao, harmonizing the effects of other herbs. Magnolia flower is pungent and warm, dispelling wind and cold, and clearing nasal passages. Angelica dahurica relieves exterior symptoms, dispels cold, eliminates wind and relieves pain, and clears nasal passages. The herbs are mild in nature and have a rich aroma, and can "go upward to the head and eyes, downward to the intestines and stomach, and in the middle to the limbs." The three herbs together serve as guiding herbs.

[0034] Black aconite root dispels cold and invigorates yang; bitter cloves induce vomiting and promote digestion, dispel dampness and reduce jaundice; amber calms the mind, promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. Together, they serve as adjuvant herbs.

[0035] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Example 1 is that the formulation of a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis does not use Asarum.

[0036] The other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0037] Comparative Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the formulation of a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis does not use cloves and amber.

[0038] The other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0039] Comparative Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the formulation of a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis does not use Asarum, Clove and Amber.

[0040] The other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0041] Experimental Example 1 Chronic Yang Deficiency and Cold Coagulation Type Rhinitis Basic information: Patient Zhang, female, 32 years old, office worker, lives in a cold northern region, and suffers from recurrent rhinitis in winter.

[0042] Chief complaint: Nasal congestion and runny nose for 6 months, which worsens when exposed to cold and is relieved when exposed to heat, accompanied by chills and cold extremities.

[0043] Present illness: Six months ago, the patient developed nasal congestion and runny nose after catching a cold. The symptoms were relieved after taking "Cold Relief Granules" on their own, but recurred after stopping the medication. The symptoms have worsened in the past month, with significant nasal congestion at night, affecting sleep. Occasionally, the patient also experiences mild headaches in the forehead. There is no sore throat or fever. The patient's stools are loose and the urine is clear and copious.

[0044] Physical examination: pale and edematous nasal mucosa, mild turbinate hypertrophy, white and greasy tongue coating, and deep and slow pulse.

[0045] Diagnosis: Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Chronic rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0046] Treatment regimen: Use the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis in Example 1. Apply an appropriate amount of powder to the nasal mucosa with a sterile cotton swab, or gently insert the cotton swab into the nasal cavity (to a depth not exceeding 1 cm). Apply 3 times a day, and remove the cotton swab after each application for 15-20 minutes. The powder should be prepared and used immediately, and stored in a sealed container to prevent moisture.

[0047] Therapeutic effect observation After 3 days of medication: nasal congestion was significantly reduced, discomfort in the nasal mucosa was relieved after exposure to cold air, nasal discharge was reduced by 50%, and there was no need to wake up at night due to nasal congestion.

[0048] After 7 days of medication: nasal congestion and runny nose have basically disappeared, the pale and edematous state of the nasal mucosa has improved, the cold extremities have been relieved, and the frontal headache has disappeared.

[0049] Consolidation medication for 14 days: Symptoms completely disappeared, nasal mucosa color returned to normal, and no recurrence was observed during a 3-month follow-up (winter); no discomfort such as nasal mucosa irritation or bleeding occurred during this period.

[0050] The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis can be applied directly to the nasal mucosa lesions by applying it to the nasal cavity with a cotton swab. It has a direct effect of warming the yang, opening the nasal passages, dispelling cold and stopping nasal discharge. The formula is targeted to the symptoms (yang deficiency and cold coagulation type) and the dosage is balanced. The local medication is highly safe, which can not only stop the symptoms quickly, but also consolidate the curative effect and reduce recurrence.

[0051] Experiment Example 2 Acute Yang Deficiency and Cold Coagulation Type Rhinitis Basic information: Patient Li, male, 45 years old, with a constitution prone to coldness, suddenly developed rhinitis after catching a cold two days ago.

[0052] Chief complaint: Sudden onset of nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose for 2 days, accompanied by a cold nose and mild chills.

[0053] Physical examination: nasal mucosal edema, thin white tongue coating, and floating and slow pulse.

[0054] Diagnosis: Acute Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Acute rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0055] Treatment regimen: Use the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis in Example 1. Apply the powder to the nasal cavity with sterile cotton swabs, 3 times a day, and remove after 15 minutes each time.

[0056] Therapeutic effect observation After one day of medication: the number of sneezes decreased significantly, the nasal cooling sensation was relieved, and nasal congestion was slightly reduced.

[0057] After 2 days of medication: nasal congestion and runny nose have basically disappeared, and chills have subsided.

[0058] After 3 days of medication: symptoms completely disappeared, nasal mucosal edema subsided, and there was no subsequent recurrence; no local irritation or discomfort occurred throughout the course of treatment.

[0059] The medication is applied topically with cotton swabs and is fast-acting for acute yang deficiency and cold coagulation type rhinitis. It can directly act on the cold coagulation site of the nasal mucosa, quickly dispel external cold, and clear the nasal passages. Topical application is convenient and has a direct effect.

[0060] Experimental Example 3 Wind-heat type rhinitis Basic information: Patient Wang, female, 28 years old, developed rhinitis symptoms 3 days ago after having a cold with wind-heat.

[0061] Chief complaint: Nasal congestion and thick yellow nasal discharge for 3 days, accompanied by burning sensation in the nose, sore throat, and slight fever (37.8℃).

[0062] Physical examination: Nasal mucosa is red and swollen, tongue coating is thin and yellow, and pulse is floating and rapid.

[0063] Diagnosis: Rhinitis due to wind-heat attacking the nose (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Acute rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0064] Treatment regimen: The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis described in Example 1 is applied to the nasal cavity with a cotton swab.

[0065] Effect observation After one dose: the burning sensation in the nose immediately worsened, the redness of the nasal mucosa became more pronounced, the amount of yellow nasal discharge increased, the sore throat intensified, and the body temperature rose to 38.2℃.

[0066] Discontinue use immediately and instead apply a heat-clearing and nasal-opening powder formula of "honeysuckle + magnolia flower" to the nasal cavity. Symptoms gradually subside after 3 days of medication.

[0067] The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis in Example 1 is pungent, warm, and drying, which contradicts the pathogenesis of wind-heat invading the nose. Improper diagnosis may aggravate the heat syndrome.

[0068] Experiment Example 4 Yin deficiency and excessive fire type rhinitis Basic information: Patient Zhao, female, 50 years old, has a long-term history of dry nose and night sweats. Her rhinitis worsened after exertion one week ago.

[0069] Chief complaint: Dry and congested nose, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, for one week, accompanied by a small amount of thick nasal discharge, hot palms and soles, and night sweats.

[0070] Physical examination: The nasal mucosa was dry and red, the tongue was red with little coating, and the pulse was thready and rapid.

[0071] Diagnosis: Rhinitis due to Yin deficiency and excessive Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Dry rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0072] Treatment regimen: The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis described in Example 1 is applied to the nasal cavity with a cotton swab.

[0073] Effect observation After two doses of medication: the dry nose symptoms worsened significantly, the nasal mucosa became dry and peeling, a small amount of nosebleeds occurred, the hot palms and soles became more pronounced, and night sweats worsened; After stopping the medication, I switched to applying a nasal cavity formula of "Ophiopogon japonicus + Polygonatum odoratum" to nourish yin and moisten dryness. The symptoms were relieved after 5 days of medication.

[0074] In Example 1, the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis contains ephedra, cinnamon twig, and other pungent and warm herbs that deplete yin fluids and may aggravate the symptoms of yin deficiency and fire excess type rhinitis.

[0075] Experimental Example 5 Chronic Yang Deficiency and Cold Coagulation Type Rhinitis Basic information: Patient Zhou, female, 35 years old. Chief complaint: Nasal congestion and clear nasal discharge for 4 months, which worsens with cold exposure, accompanied by aversion to cold, cold extremities, pale and edematous nasal mucosa, white and greasy tongue coating, and deep and slow pulse.

[0076] Diagnosis: Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Chronic rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0077] Treatment regimen: The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis in Comparative Example 1 was applied to the nasal cavity with a cotton swab.

[0078] Effect observation After 3 days of medication: Nasal congestion was not significantly relieved, and nighttime nasal congestion still affected sleep. The amount of clear nasal discharge decreased by only 20%, and the feeling of coolness in the nose did not improve.

[0079] After 7 days of medication: the symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose were only slightly relieved compared to before medication, and the symptoms were still easily aggravated after exposure to cold air.

[0080] Adjust the medication regimen: Add 4g of Asarum powder to the original missing formula, and continue medication for 7 days. Nasal congestion and runny nose were significantly relieved, and the nasal coolness subsided.

[0081] Asarum is a key ingredient in the formula for warming and clearing cold phlegm in the nasal passages and enhancing nasal patency. Without it, the warming and dispersing effects are insufficient, making it unable to effectively relieve nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, and cold nasal symptoms in patients with Yang deficiency and cold stagnation rhinitis, resulting in a significant decrease in efficacy.

[0082] Experimental Example 6 Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis Basic information: Patient Wu, male, 40 years old.

[0083] Chief complaint: Nasal congestion and runny nose for 5 months, mild turbinate hypertrophy, accompanied by cold intolerance, nasal congestion at night affecting sleep, white and greasy tongue coating, and deep and slow pulse.

[0084] Diagnosis: Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Chronic rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0085] Treatment regimen: The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis from Comparative Example 2 was applied to the nasal cavity with cotton wool.

[0086] Effect observation After 3 days of medication: nasal congestion was slightly relieved, but there was an increase in viscous secretions in the nasal cavity (which could not be completely cleared by blowing the nose), and the patient still woke up frequently at night due to nasal congestion; After 7 days of medication: the symptoms of runny nose were relieved by 30%, but the stubborn nasal congestion caused by turbinate hypertrophy did not improve, and the sleep quality was still poor; The medication regimen was adjusted: 3g of bitter clove and 7g of amber powder were added. After continuing the medication for 10 days, the viscous secretions decreased, the stubborn nasal congestion was relieved, and the patient was able to sleep soundly at night.

[0087] The purifying and nasal-clearing effects of bitter cloves can resolve the accumulation of viscous secretions in the nose, while the blood-activating, nasal-clearing, and calming effects of amber can improve nasal congestion and sleep problems caused by nasal turbinate obstruction. The simultaneous absence of both can lead to incomplete relief of the core symptoms of rhinitis (nasal congestion and increased secretions), especially for chronic and stubborn symptoms.

[0088] Experimental Example 7 Acute Yang Deficiency and Cold Coagulation Type Rhinitis Basic information: Patient Zheng, female, 38 years old.

[0089] Chief complaint: Sudden onset of nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose for 2 days after catching a cold, accompanied by nasal coldness, mild chills, nasal mucosal edema, thin white tongue coating, and floating and slow pulse.

[0090] Diagnosis: Acute Yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis (Traditional Chinese Medicine); Acute rhinitis (Western Medicine).

[0091] Treatment regimen: The traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis from Comparative Example 3 was applied to the nasal cavity with cotton wool.

[0092] Effect observation After one day of medication: the number of sneezes decreased slightly, but the symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose did not improve significantly, and the cool sensation in the nose persisted.

[0093] After 2 days of medication: the symptoms did not improve, but the amount of clear nasal discharge increased due to the unresolved cold phlegm.

[0094] The medication regimen was adjusted: the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating rhinitis in Example 1 was used instead, and the symptoms basically disappeared after 2 days of medication.

[0095] Asarum, clove, and amber are the core combination of "warming and clearing + removing turbidity and promoting blood circulation" in the formula. The absence of all three will cause the core effects of the formula of clearing the nasal passages and dispelling cold and removing phlegm to be ineffective, and it will not be effective even for acute yang deficiency and cold stagnation type rhinitis.

[0096] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims. Similarly, any equivalent structural changes made based on the content of the present invention's specification shall also be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
