Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an auxiliary device for enhancing the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine through acupoints. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine, herbal acupoint application is a common and effective treatment method. This involves applying medicinal herbs to specific acupoints on the body, utilizing the stimulation of these acupoints and the absorption of the medicine through the skin to regulate bodily functions and treat diseases. However, existing methods of herbal acupoint application have some limitations.
[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application relies solely on the body's own temperature and ambient temperature to promote the volatilization and absorption of medicinal components, or uses modifiers to increase drug penetration, but both methods are relatively inefficient. Because the skin temperature at acupoints is relatively stable and limited, it is difficult to quickly and fully volatilize the active ingredients in the medicinal herbs. This results in the medicinal components not reaching the acupoint tissues in a timely and sufficient manner, affecting the stimulating effect of the drug on the acupoints and the speed and amount of drug absorption into the body through the skin. Consequently, the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints is reduced, thus limiting the therapeutic effect to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device that enhances the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine at acupoints, thereby solving the technical problem of low drug absorption efficiency during traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide an auxiliary device for enhancing the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine through acupoints, the auxiliary device comprising: The main body includes a high thermal conductivity layer and a covering layer that surrounds the high thermal conductivity layer. An electric heating element is disposed on the outer side of the main body. A mortar and pestle, wherein the mortar and pestle are embedded in the inner side of the main body; A connecting strip is provided on the left and right sides of the main body, and a connecting structure is provided at the end of the connecting strip.
[0006] In one embodiment, the high thermal conductivity layer is made of thermally conductive silicone or graphene material.
[0007] In one embodiment, the electric heating element is an electrically heated wax bag.
[0008] In one embodiment, the mortar and pestle is made of a thermally conductive metal material.
[0009] In one embodiment, the mortar has a depth of 1 cm and a diameter of 2-4 cm.
[0010] In one embodiment, the connection structure is Velcro or snap fastener.
[0011] The above-described technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages: The auxiliary device for enhancing the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at acupoints provided in this embodiment generates heat through an electric heating element. This heat is conducted through the main body to a mortar on the other side, heating the TCM within. This heating method accelerates the volatilization and release of medicinal components from the herbs, allowing more active ingredients to detach from the herbs for better penetration and absorption. Furthermore, the heat generated by the hot compress stimulates the skin at the acupoints, dilates local blood vessels, promotes blood circulation, and accelerates metabolism. This helps the medicinal components enter the body more quickly through the skin and reach the acupoint tissue, significantly improving the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints and enabling TCM acupoint application therapy to achieve better therapeutic effects. Finally, the main body of the device employs a high thermal conductivity layer and a covering layer encapsulating the high thermal conductivity layer. The high thermal conductivity layer has excellent thermal conductivity, allowing the heat generated by the electric heating element to be more effectively transferred to the mortar on the other side. Compared to traditional structures, this design reduces heat loss during transmission, improves heat utilization efficiency, and further enhances the volatilization and release of medicinal components and the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4This application provides an auxiliary device for enhancing the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine at acupoints, including a main body 1, an electric heating part 2, a mortar and pestle 3, and a connecting strap 4. The main body 1 includes a high thermal conductivity layer 11 and a covering layer 12 (which can be fabric to improve wearing comfort) wrapped around the high thermal conductivity layer 11. The electric heating part 2 is located on the outer side of the main body 1, the mortar and pestle 3 is embedded in the inner side of the main body 1, and the connecting strap 4 is located on the left and right sides of the main body 1. The end of the connecting strap 4 is provided with a connecting structure 41 (which can be Velcro or snap fastener).
[0020] This utility model provides an auxiliary device for enhancing the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine at acupoints. In use, traditional Chinese medicine is placed in the mortar 3, and the inner side of the main body 1 (i.e., the side where the mortar 3 is located) is placed on the acupoint. The two connecting straps 4 are connected by the connecting structure 41 at the end of the connecting strap 4 to fix the main body 1. Then, the electric heating unit 2 generates heat, which is conducted through the main body 1 to the mortar 3 on the other side, thereby heating the traditional Chinese medicine inside. This accelerates the volatilization and release of the medicinal components, and the heat application stimulates and dilates local blood vessels, promotes blood circulation, and accelerates metabolism, thus facilitating drug penetration and absorption, and significantly improving the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints. Furthermore, by employing a high thermal conductivity layer 11, the heat generated by the electric heating unit 2 can be more effectively transferred to the mortar 3 on the other side, improving the volatilization and release of medicinal components and the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints.
[0021] In one embodiment, the high thermal conductivity layer 11 is made of thermally conductive silicone or graphene. Using thermally conductive silicone or graphene to make the high thermal conductivity layer 11 significantly improves the thermal conductivity of the main body 1. Both thermally conductive silicone and graphene have excellent thermal conductivity properties, allowing the heat generated by the electric heating part 2 to be transferred more quickly and efficiently to the traditional Chinese medicine inside the mortar 3, reducing heat loss during the transfer process, thereby further improving the rate of evaporation and dissipation of the medicinal components and the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints.
[0022] In one embodiment, the electric heating part 2 is an electrically heated wax bag. Electrically heated wax bags are existing technology, and their heating method and principle are identical to those of existing technologies; this application does not make any corresponding improvements. Its specific structure may include a wax bag, a heating plate, a battery, a charging port 21, a temperature sensor, etc.
[0023] In one embodiment, the mortar and pestle 3 is made of a thermally conductive metal material. Using a thermally conductive metal material enhances the thermal conductivity of the mortar and pestle 3, allowing heat to be better transferred from the main body 1 to the Chinese medicine inside. This helps the Chinese medicine absorb heat more quickly, accelerates the volatilization and release of medicinal components, and improves the effect of the medicine on acupoints and the efficiency of drug absorption at acupoints. Specifically, the mortar and pestle 3 can be made of stainless steel.
[0024] Optionally, the edge of the mortar 3 can be retracted into the main body 1 so that the mortar 3 does not come into direct contact with the patient's skin when using the device, thus preventing burns. In addition, the electric heating unit 2 has an automatic temperature control function to control the heating temperature, further preventing burns to the patient during use.
[0025] In one embodiment, the mortar 3 has a depth of 1 cm and a diameter of 2-4 cm. Setting the depth of the mortar 3 to 1 cm provides suitable space for the Chinese herbal medicine, ensuring that there is enough medicine for acupoint application and facilitating heat transfer to the medicine so that it can fully absorb heat. The specific diameter of the mortar 3 can be set to 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, etc., depending on the patient's age and the location of the acupoint.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
