Oriental Medicine Composition for Pediatric Digestive and Respiratory Function
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Underweight children often suffer from inadequate dietary intake, leading to weakened digestive systems and impaired growth, with existing research focusing mainly on malnutrition due to famine or anorexia, neglecting insufficient dietary intake as a cause, and lacking effective medical assistance for children with normal clinical profiles.
Innovation Solution
An oriental medicine composition containing specific herbal ingredients like broiled fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida, broiled root of Atractylodes japonica, dried peel of Citrus unshiu, broiled sprout of Hordeum vulgare, broiled fruit of Amomum xanthioides, root of Zingiber officinale, and horn of Cervus elaphus, along with additional herbs like Ulmi Cortex and Schizonepetae Spica, is developed to enhance digestive and respiratory functions, promoting appetite and growth.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional oriental medicines for digestive system are used to treat stomach weakness, then digestive functions may be improved, but respiratory functions remain unaddressed and growth potential is not fully optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines digestive system herbs (Atractylodes japonica, Amomum xanthioides, Zingiber officinale) with respiratory system herbs (Crataegus pinnatifida, Citrus unshiu, Hordeum vulgare) into a single composition that simultaneously addresses both digestive and respiratory functions, thereby improving overall health and growth potential
Solution Approach 2:
The oriental medicine composition is designed to perform multiple functions: improving digestive functions through stomach-strengthening herbs, enhancing respiratory functions through lung-nourishing herbs, and promoting overall growth and development, making it a universal solution for children's comprehensive health issues
2Reliability
If focus is placed on treating malnutrition due to famine or anorexia nervosa, then those specific conditions are addressed, but insufficient dietary intake in children with normal clinical profiles is neglected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a moderate-strength formula suitable for mild to moderate nutritional insufficiency cases. The composition uses herbs with balanced properties that provide sufficient stimulation for children with normal clinical profiles but not so strong as to be harmful, achieving partial action appropriate for this specific patient群体
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the treatment approach by changing the parameter of herb selection and dosage to suit children with insufficient dietary intake but normal clinical profiles. The composition uses gentler herbs and balanced dosages that are appropriate for this specific condition, differing from the more intensive treatments for severe malnutrition
