Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically relating to a traditional Chinese medicine foot bath liquid for relieving thyroid nodules and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Thyroid nodules are a common condition, and their detection rate has been increasing year by year in recent years due to advancements in ultrasound technology. Before thyroid nodules become malignant, their progression is primarily monitored through regular checkups. Once a malignant trend is detected, surgical removal is performed. However, these methods cannot control nodule growth, and surgical removal has significant side effects and is expensive.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated rich experience in treating thyroid nodules, boasting advantages such as low side effects and stable efficacy. TCM categorizes thyroid diseases under the "goiter" category, with thyroid nodules referred to as "goiter tumors." The primary internal cause is liver qi stagnation, while the primary external cause is external invasion of heat and fire pathogens. Thyroiditis often arises from liver qi stagnation as its internal cause, supplemented by external invasion of wind-heat and epidemic pathogens. Patients typically experience emotional distress, leading to impaired liver function. Prolonged liver stagnation generates heat and fire, which, combined with external wind-heat and epidemic pathogens, intensifies the heat, resulting in abscess formation. Over time, this can lead to blood stasis, phlegm, and other pathological products, complicating the disease's pathogenesis. Treatment primarily involves external and internal methods. While internal herbal treatment has some effect on thyroid nodules, it has limitations such as difficulty in directly targeting the lesion and long treatment courses. Therefore, an economical, simple, and effective external treatment method is currently in demand.

[0004] Foot baths are a common health practice, often using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoctions to prepare foot bath solutions. These solutions are believed to have unique pharmacological effects, improving foot ailments or relieving foot fatigue. However, existing methods for preparing TCM foot bath solutions have several problems. First, current methods typically involve steeping the herbs in boiling water, which fails to fully extract the effective components, resulting in a less potent pharmacological effect. Second, the types and proportions of herbs significantly impact the effectiveness of the foot bath solution; however, current methods often overlook this, failing to adjust the ratios for optimal results. Furthermore, existing methods often involve over-boiling during the decoction process, leading to the loss of effective components and reducing the overall efficacy of the foot bath solution.
