Description

[0001] A traditional Chinese medicine composition with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antipruritic properties, its preparation method, and its application. Technical Field

[0002] This application belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, and in particular relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0003] As people's living standards improve, their dietary habits are also changing, and skin condition is affected by the surrounding environment and dietary habits. Acne-prone skin is becoming increasingly common, causing distress for many. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties, its preparation method and application, aiming to solve the life problems caused by acne-prone skin.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In the first aspect, this application provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic purposes, mainly made from the following traditional Chinese medicinal materials in parts by weight: 8-12 parts of *Caulis Scutellariae*; 3-6 parts of *Herba Patriniae*; 4-6 parts of *Herba Houttuyniae*; 9-11 parts of *Flos Lonicerae*; 0.8-1.2 parts of *Radix Lithospermi*; 0.6-0.9 parts of *Radix Cynanchi*; 1.5-3.5 parts of *Fructus Cicadae*; and 1.5-2.5 parts of *Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae*.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is mainly made from the following traditional Chinese medicinal materials in parts by weight: 8-10 parts of *Smilax glabra*; 3-5 parts of *Patrinia scabiosifolia*; 4-5 parts of *Houttuynia cordata*; 9-10 parts of honeysuckle; 0.8-1 part of *Lithospermum erythrorhizon*; 0.6-0.8 parts of *Cynanchum paniculatum*; 1.5-3 parts of cicada slough; and 1.5-2 parts of dried tangerine peel.

[0007] As a more preferred method, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is mainly made from the following traditional Chinese medicinal materials in parts by weight: 10 parts of *Caulis Scutellariae*; 5 parts of *Patrinia scabiosifolia*; 5 parts of *Houttuynia cordata*; 10 parts of *Lonicera japonica*; 1 part of *Lithospermum erythrorhizon*; 0.8 parts of *Cynanchum paniculatum*; 3 parts of *Cicada slough*; and 2 parts of *Citrus reticulata*.

[0008] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antipruritic traditional Chinese medicine composition, comprising the following steps: Mix together herbs such as *Caulis Amaranthus praecox*, *Houttuynia cordata*, honeysuckle, *Radix Lithospermum*, *Cynanchum paniculatum*, cicada slough, and dried tangerine peel, then soak and simmer in water.

[0009] One possible method is to soak for 20 to 25 minutes.

[0010] One possible method is to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: I. Principal Drug (Leading Drug, targeting the primary disease / symptom) 1. Red vine Functions: Clears heat and detoxifies, promotes blood circulation and reduces swelling Position: It has the largest dosage and is used to target the core pathogenesis of heat toxicity stagnation, carbuncles, sores, and other similar conditions.

[0012] 2. Honeysuckle Functions: Clears heat and detoxifies, disperses wind-heat Status: Together with *Caulis Scutellariae*, it serves as the principal herb, enhancing the ability to clear heat and detoxify, and is particularly adept at dissipating heat through the skin.

[0013] II. Assistant herbs (those that assist the principal herbs and enhance their therapeutic effect) 1. Patrinia scabiosifolia Functions: Clears heat and detoxifies, drains pus and breaks up blood stasis, assists the principal drug in eliminating carbuncles and dissipating nodules.

[0014] 2. Houttuynia cordata Functions: Clears heat and promotes diuresis, detoxifies and reduces swelling, with a focus on clearing damp-heat in the lungs and lower abdomen.

[0015] Synergistic effect: The two herbs assist the principal herb in eliminating heat and toxins, enhancing the therapeutic effect through different pathways of the three jiaos (upper jiao lung, middle and lower jiao damp heat).

[0016] III. Adjuvant drugs (to treat secondary symptoms or mitigate side effects) 1. Lithospermum Functions: Cools the blood and promotes blood circulation, detoxifies and promotes rash eruption, targeting rashes and eczema caused by heat entering the blood.

[0017] 2. Xu Changqing Functions: dispels wind and relieves pain, invigorates blood and detoxifies, and helps relieve pain or itching caused by heat toxicity.

[0018] 3. Cicada skin Functions: Disperses wind-heat, soothes the throat and promotes rash eruption; it has a light and upward-moving effect, helping honeysuckle to expel pathogens from the surface.

[0019] 4. Guangchenpi (dried tangerine peel) Functions: Regulates Qi and strengthens the spleen, dries dampness and resolves phlegm, counteracts the stomach irritation caused by cold and cooling medicines, and prevents stagnation of Qi.

[0020] IV. Guiding herbs (or harmonizing other herbs) Guangchenpi (dried tangerine peel) also serves as an adjuvant: its pungent and aromatic properties can guide other medicines into the spleen and stomach, harmonize the cold and cooling properties of other medicines, and prevent damage to the yang qi of the middle jiao (middle burner).

[0021] Cicada slough: It also has the function of guiding medicine upwards to the head, face, and throat.

[0022] V. Synergistic Mechanism 1. Primarily focused on clearing heat and detoxifying: The principal herbs (Caulis Spatholobi and Lonicera japonica) and the assistant herbs (Herba Patriniae and Herba Houttuyniae) form a core heat-clearing and detoxifying network, covering heat toxins in the Qi and Blood levels.

[0023] 2. Emphasizing both blood circulation and surface penetration: Purple gromwell and Cynanchum paniculatum promote blood circulation and prevent stagnation, while cicada slough and honeysuckle expel pathogens and prevent internal heat toxins from accumulating.

[0024] 3. Protect the spleen and stomach's Qi mechanism: Guangchenpi (dried tangerine peel) regulates qi and strengthens the spleen, harmonizing the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by a large amount of cold and cooling medicines, ensuring the long-lasting absorption of the medicine's effects.

[0025] 4. Multi-target synergy: The upper burner (cicada slough, houttuynia cordata), middle burner (dried tangerine peel), and lower burner (patrinia scabiosaefolia) are used to eliminate pathogenic factors; pathogenic factors are expelled through multiple pathways such as expelling pathogens from the surface, promoting diuresis, and activating blood circulation.

[0026] The formula is mainly based on cold and cooling properties, supplemented with pungent and warm properties to regulate qi, forming a formula that is "clear without stagnation and dispersing without depletion". Detailed Implementation
