Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating eczema and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hand eczema, also known as hand dermatitis, is a common inflammatory skin disease that occurs on the hands. Its lesions are diverse, including erythema, papules, vesicles, scales, fissures and hyperkeratosis. Clinically, it is often accompanied by obvious itching or pain caused by fissures [1]. The hands are one of the common sites for eczema. According to the course of the disease, it is divided into acute hand eczema and chronic hand eczema. Chronic hand eczema lesions are mostly manifested as thickened skin, lichenification, scales, fissures, hyperkeratosis, etc., and can also present as acute eczema changes during acute attacks. The course of the disease lasts more than 3 months or recurs 2 or more times a year. Due to the diverse clinical manifestations, complex etiology, prolonged course of disease, recurrent attacks, and difficulty in treatment, and the frequent contact between the hands and the external environment, with the increasing complexity of the environment and the increase of sensitizing substances, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients.
[0003] Most medical practitioners believe that the main causes of chronic eczema are related to the invasion of wind, dampness, and heat, which over time leads to blood deficiency and the generation of wind and dryness. Some medical practitioners also believe that it is related to damp-heat and blood stasis. However, research has found that chronic hand eczema is not simply "blood deficiency and wind dryness". Instead, it is caused by external evils such as wind, dampness, and heat invading the skin, which over time generates blood stasis and toxins. The combination of dampness and blood stasis damages the yin and blood, leading to blood deficiency and the generation of wind and dryness. Its pathogenic factors include the evils of "dampness, heat, blood stasis, and toxins". Therefore, a drug is needed to treat eczema that not only addresses "blood deficiency and wind dryness" but also takes into account "dampness, heat, blood stasis, and toxins". It should nourish the blood while activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and be supplemented with clearing heat and drying dampness, dispelling wind and relieving itching. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention aims to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition and preparation method for treating eczema. It nourishes the blood while emphasizing blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is supplemented with heat-clearing, dampness-drying, wind-dispelling, and itch-relieving properties, thus effectively treating eczema.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating eczema includes the following ingredients: stir-fried Xanthium sibiricum, Phellodendron chinense, Sanguisorba officinalis, dried alum, Clematis chinensis, stir-fried Vaccaria segetalis, Artemisia argyi, Kochia scoparia, Angelica sinensis, and Sophora flavescens; The weight proportions of different raw materials are as follows: 25-35 parts of stir-fried Xanthium sibiricum, 25-35 parts of Phellodendron chinense, 25-35 parts of Sanguisorba officinalis, 5-15 parts of dried alum, 25-35 parts of Clematis chinensis, 25-35 parts of stir-fried Vaccaria segetalis, 25-35 parts of Artemisia argyi, 25-35 parts of Kochia scoparia, 25-35 parts of Angelica sinensis, and 25-35 parts of Sophora flavescens.
[0006] Furthermore, the weight proportions of different raw materials are as follows: 30 parts of stir-fried Xanthium sibiricum, 30 parts of Phellodendron chinense, 30 parts of Sanguisorba officinalis, 10 parts of dried alum, 30 parts of Clematis chinensis, 30 parts of stir-fried Vaccaria segetalis, 30 parts of Artemisia argyi, 30 parts of Kochia scoparia, 30 parts of Angelica sinensis, and 30 parts of Sophora flavescens.
[0007] The pharmacological effects of the different raw materials in this invention are as follows: Angelica sinensis: It nourishes and replenishes blood, and is known as the "holy medicine for blood disorders". It treats all kinds of wind and blood disorders, replenishes all kinds of fatigue, breaks up bad blood, and nourishes new blood. When used externally, it can promote tissue regeneration and relieve pain, and treat skin diseases such as tinea and scabies. This herb is the chief herb, which nourishes blood and moisturizes the skin to promote new blood production.
[0008] Sanguisorba officinalis: It cools the blood and promotes blood circulation, detoxifies and astringes sores. The "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces" states that boiling it into a concentrated juice for external washing is effective in treating eczema in children. Wang Bu Liu Xing: Invigorates blood circulation, regulates menstruation, dispels wind and cold; Mugwort: warms the meridians and promotes blood circulation; when used externally, it is effective in treating itchy skin. The above three herbs are used as assistant herbs, which help the principal herbs nourish the blood while promoting blood circulation and clearing the meridians to remove blood stasis and eliminate spots, thus treating dark-colored rashes caused by blood stasis.
[0009] Sophora flavescens: Clears heat and dries dampness, kills parasites and relieves itching; it can be used to treat eczema, pruritus, scabies and leprosy. Phellodendron bark: Clears heat and dries dampness; when used externally, it has detoxifying and sore-healing effects. Kochia scoparia: Clears heat and promotes diuresis, dispels wind and relieves itching; used to treat urticaria, eczema, and pruritus. Xanthium sibiricum: It has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving itching, clearing the meridians and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat scabies, leprosy, and skin itching. Clematis chinensis: dispels wind and dampness, disperses blood stasis and reduces swelling, detoxifies and relieves pain. Alum (dried alum) has astringent and hemostatic properties, antibacterial effects, and dispels wind and relieves itching. Alum: It has insecticidal and detoxifying properties and can be used to treat infections caused by various bacteria.
[0010] The above six herbs serve as adjuvant herbs, working together to clear heat and dampness, dispel wind and relieve itching. When used together, they nourish blood and moisten dryness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, clear heat and dampness, dispel wind and relieve itching. This ensures smooth blood flow, making it easier to eliminate dampness and wind, allowing the skin to receive normal nourishment and leading to recovery from the disease.
[0011] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the traditional Chinese medicine composition as described above, comprising the following steps: S1: Mix and decoct the following ingredients: stir-fried Xanthium sibiricum, Phellodendron chinense, Sanguisorba officinalis, dried alum, Clematis chinensis, stir-fried Vaccaria segetalis, Artemisia argyi, Kochia scoparia, Angelica sinensis, and Sophora flavescens. S2: Cool the decocted medicine to 30-45℃ before use.
[0012] Furthermore, the present invention also provides the application of the aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine composition in the preparation of a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for treating eczema.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention incorporates roasted Xanthium sibiricum, Phellodendron chinense, Sanguisorba officinalis, alum, Clematis chinensis, roasted Vaccaria segetalis, Artemisia argyi, Kochia scoparia, Angelica sinensis, and Sophora flavescens. Angelica sinensis is the principal herb, nourishing blood and moisturizing the skin to promote new tissue growth. Sanguisorba officinalis, Vaccaria segetalis, and Artemisia argyi act as assistant herbs, assisting the principal herb in nourishing blood while simultaneously promoting blood circulation and clearing the meridians to resolve blood stasis and eliminate rashes, treating dark-colored rashes caused by blood stasis. These herbs, along with other components, act as adjuvant herbs, clearing heat and dampness, dispelling wind, and relieving itching. The combined effects of these herbs nourish blood and moisturize dryness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, clear heat and dampness, dispel wind, and relieve itching, ensuring smooth blood flow, facilitating the elimination of dampness and wind, and allowing the skin to receive normal nourishment, leading to healing. This traditional Chinese medicine composition, based on nourishing blood and moisturizing dryness, and supplemented with promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, clearing heat and dampness, and relieving itching, provides a new basis and approach for the treatment of patients with chronic hand eczema due to blood deficiency and wind-dryness.
[0014] This invention incorporates Angelica sinensis to nourish and replenish blood, treat all kinds of wind-related ailments, replenish all kinds of fatigue, break up stagnant blood, and nourish new blood. When applied externally, it can promote tissue regeneration, relieve pain, and treat skin tinea and scabies.
[0015] This invention, by adding Sanguisorba officinalis, Vaccaria segetalis, and Artemisia argyi, not only promotes blood circulation and dispels wind and cold, but also relieves skin itching.
[0016] The present invention, by adding Sophora flavescens, Phellodendron chinense, Kochia scoparia, Xanthium sibiricum, Clematis chinensis, and alum, can not only clear heat and remove dampness, but also dispel wind and relieve itching. Attached Figure Description
