A method for extracting tung oil as a medicinal substance comprises the following steps: Step 1: Selecting mature tung seeds, removing the outer shell, leaving the oil-containing
embryo,
drying and pulverizing it into tung seed kernel
powder; Step 2: Mixing and stirring the tung seed kernel
powder with
ethanol to obtain crude tung oil; Step 3: Allowing the crude tung oil to stand at low temperature to remove the aqueous phase, gum, and pigments, obtaining refined tung oil; Step 4: Detoxifying the refined tung oil using a mild
saponification process; Step 5: Re-extracting the detoxified tung oil with
ethyl acetate to obtain a tung oil extract enriched with active ingredients. This invention also proposes a
psoriasis treatment
drug based on natural tung oil extract, aiming to overcome the limitations of existing therapies in terms of cost, administration method, side effects, and insufficient coverage of complex
pathological mechanisms. It achieves comprehensive treatment of
psoriasis through multi-dimensional regulation of
inflammation,
cell proliferation, and
metabolism using a tung oil extraction method and its application in treating
psoriasis.
