Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to a mask that contains the medicinal and aromatic properties of papaya leaves. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional scented masks use aromatic ingredients and essential oils, but do not mention the medicinal properties of papaya leaves. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 10-216255 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to deliver the aroma of papaya leaves, which contain the enzyme papain, which has been found to have cancer-suppressing effects in recent years, directly to the lungs, in the hope of easing the psychological tension of cancer patients, even if only a little. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] This invention is an aromatic mask that contains crushed dried papaya leaves. To prevent the crushed dried papaya leaves from scattering, the dried papaya leaves packed in a tea bag are inserted into the center of a mask made of, for example, four layers of nonwoven fabric. The material of the tea bag can be any of nonwoven fabric, Japanese paper, nylon, and biodegradable filters. Effect of the Invention
[0006] The mask containing papaya leaves of this invention is expected to deliver ultrafine particles of papain and other medicinal ingredients directly to the lungs, and also to provide psychological relief to some lung cancer patients. [Brief description of the drawings]
