Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine incense, specifically relating to a traditional Chinese medicine incense and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Incense culture originated in ancient times, developed during the Spring and Autumn Period, took shape in the Han Dynasty, matured in the Tang Dynasty, became widespread in the Song Dynasty, and was further refined in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It declined in modern times due to social unrest, but with social stability, incense culture has revived. Traditional Chinese medicine incense therapy, as a safe, effective, and unique external treatment method, follows the principle of "the principle of external treatment is the same as the principle of internal treatment" as stated in *Li Yue Pian Wen Lue Yan*. It utilizes the volatile components of aromatic medicinal herbs to act on the body, achieving effects such as calming nerves, relieving pain, and enhancing immunity.

[0003] Headache is a common clinical symptom. The volatile components in aromatic Chinese herbs can effectively relieve pain and stress by affecting neurotransmitters. Chuanxiong Tea Powder, originating from the Song Dynasty's *Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*, is composed of eight herbs: Chuanxiong (Ligusticum striatum), Qianghuo (Notopterygium incisum), Baizhi (Angelica dahurica), Xixin (Asarum heterotropoides), Bohe (Mentha haplocalyx), Jingjie (Schizonepeta tenuifolia), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia divaricata), and Gancao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis). It has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that this formula can reduce blood viscosity, improve cerebral circulation, and has a central analgesic effect. Existing technologies, such as patent CN201711001788.8, disclose a Chuanxiong Tea Powder preparation, but lack innovative applications for administration via incense. Therefore, this invention aims to combine Chuanxiong Tea Powder with incense materials to provide a convenient, safe, and effective Chinese herbal incense product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine incense and its preparation process. This incense is based on Chuanxiong tea powder, combined with precious Chinese medicinal herbs such as agarwood, sandalwood, and benzoin. It exerts its soothing, analgesic, and invigorating effects through incense burning. The prepared incense is packaged to ensure its color, aroma, and efficacy remain stable and long-lasting.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine incense, which is made from the following raw materials in the following weight ratios: 8-15 parts agarwood, 9-12 parts sandalwood, 7-13 parts benzoin, 20-25 parts nanmu wood adhesive powder, 15-18 parts green tea, 8-12 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 6-8 parts schizonepeta, 9-11 parts angelica dahurica, 8-12 parts notopterygium root, 6-8 parts licorice root, 3-8 parts asarum, 9-12 parts saposhnikovia root, and 1-3 parts borneol.

(4) Mixing and fermentation: Grind the prepared medicinal powder, fragrance powder and green tea soup into a paste, then add the nanmu adhesive powder and knead thoroughly until the mixture is plastic. Then place the mixture in a sealed container to ferment for 10-12 hours to enhance the aroma blending; among which, the nanmu adhesive powder is used as a binder. (5) Shaping: Use a mold to shape the mixture into fragrance bodies with a diameter of 0.1cm and a length of 10.5cm. Dry them in a well-ventilated and dark place for more than 48 hours until the fragrance bodies have a moderate hardness. Pack the dried fragrance bodies into hard paper tubes for packaging, and then pack them into hard-shell packaging boxes to ensure that their color, aroma and efficacy are stable and long-lasting.
