Herbal Formulation for Rapid Body Alkalinity Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Maintaining a slightly alkaline body pH is beneficial for health, but popular foods and beverages often lead to acidity, and adopting an alkaline diet is challenging due to the need for specific foods and herbal complexes, which few people can sustain long enough to achieve necessary alkalinity levels in a timely manner.
Innovation Solution
A herbal formulation comprising Camptotheca, Poria cocos, and Astragalus membranaceus, optionally including Ostrea vivularis Gould, Prunella vulgaris, Bombyx mori, and Phellodendron amurense Rupr, which raises the body's alkalinity quickly, with Camptotheca as the major ingredient, effectively balancing pH in a short period.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If an alkaline diet is adopted to raise body pH levels, then alkalinity of body fluids is improved, but the time required to achieve necessary alkalinity levels is excessively long (months or years)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the concentration parameter of alkaline substances by providing highly concentrated alkaline herbal extracts rather than requiring consumption of large volumes of diluted foods. This allows achieving the same pH-raising effect in much smaller quantities and shorter time periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares highly concentrated alkaline extracts in advance through extraction processes, so that when consumed, they immediately provide the necessary alkalinity boost without requiring the body to gradually process large amounts of food over months or years.
2Quantity of substance
If sufficient quantities of alkaline foods are consumed to raise body pH levels, then alkalinity of body fluids is improved, but the complexity of implementing and maintaining such a diet is excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple alkaline herbs (Camptotheca, Poria cocos, Astragalus membranaceus, and optionally other alkaline herbs) into a single integrated formulation that provides cumulative alkaline effects, simplifying the diet implementation to a single supplement rather than requiring consumption of many different alkaline foods.
Solution Approach 2:
The herbal formulation serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides alkalinity to raise pH levels, offers therapeutic benefits from individual herbs (immune support, anti-inflammatory effects), and eliminates the need for complex dietary planning and monitoring.
3Ease of operation
If popular foods and beverages are consumed, then ease of consumption is improved, but the body's pH level becomes excessively acidic
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful acidic effect of popular foods into a benefit by providing an alkaline counterbalance. The herbal formulation neutralizes the acidic impact of conventional diets, allowing people to maintain their preferred eating habits while still achieving alkaline pH levels through the supplement.

AI summary
An edible herbal formulation which raises the alkalinity of the human body in a short period of time is disclosed. The major ingredient in the formulation is Camptotheca. Additional ingredients that may be included are poria cocos, astragalus membranacaus, ostrea vivularis gould, prunella vulgaris, bombyx mori and phellodendron amurense Rupr. While the herbal formulation may be a mixture containing Camptotheca and all or some of the above ingredients, it is most preferred that the herbal formulation include the three ingredients of Camptotheca, poria cocos and astragalus membranacaus.
