[0002] External application therapy is an important form of TCM treatment. It involves directly applying herbal preparations to the skin's surface, utilizing the penetrating properties of the medicinal components to achieve effects such as relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. Traditional external applications often rely on hot or cold compresses, requiring external heat sources like fire or hot water. However, with advancements in materials science, significant progress has been made in the research of self-heating materials. These materials typically generate heat through chemical reactions or phase changes, requiring no external heat source and offering convenience for portability and use. In the medical field, self-heating materials are widely used in products such as heat patches, knee and lumbar supports, providing sustained heat and enhancing therapeutic effects. Self-heating herbal external application packs can be used anytime, anywhere without additional heating equipment, greatly facilitating patient use.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings, such as: In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health preservation and treatment, external application of Chinese medicine is a common treatment method. Through skin penetration, the medicine acts on the human body to achieve the effects of warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling cold and relieving pain, reducing swelling and removing blood stasis. However, traditional methods of external application of Chinese medicine have some shortcomings. For example, when the temperature of the medicine is low, the skin's absorption efficiency of the medicine is not high. Moreover, simple external application packs of Chinese medicine require additional heating equipment, which is inconvenient to use and limits its application scenarios and user experience.
