20080063734
By conventional methods of preparation for Scientifically Concentrated Traditional Chinese Medicines including extraction, separation, concentration, and drying (as disclosed in Sun-Tien Medical Journal 4 and 5, 2005), extract powders of each plant were obtained.
The medical herb composition A used for the following embodiments comprises 6˜10 grams of Saliva miltiorrhiza extract, 1˜5 grams of Schisandra extract, 5˜9 grams of Ginseng extract, and 5˜9 grams of Radix ophiopogonis extract/per 12 gram of powders.
The amount of administration depends on the weight of the mammal to be treated. For a dog and a cat, the amount of daily administration is 1˜1.5 g/per 5 Kg. For a human, the amount of daily administration is 1.5˜2 g/per 10 Kg. Since the metabolisms of a dog and a cat are faster than that of a human, the amount of administration for a dog and a cat is about two-fold larger than that for a human.
The present invention provides the composition A for an older dog or a dog with slight heart disease, and observes the improvement of panting, coughing, and physical activity.
The observed dog of the first embodiment was a male Shetland Sheepdog, 12 years old, intact, and of 8 Kg weight. Its clinical symptoms were poor heart function, slight panting, and heartbeat of 60 times per min.

The observed human of the sixth embodiment was a female, 45 years old, 160 cm height, 50 Kg weight, and without heart disease. Her clinical symptoms were panting when stair climbing from the first to the fourth floor (she could not climb stairs to reach the fourth floor without having to rest many times during stair climbing), breathing difficulties and stagnation of vital energy.
After the administration of the composition A for 3 days, the symptom of panting caused by stair climbing several floors improved and disappeared. During that stair climbing, she no longer needed to take a rest, and her cardiopulmonary function improved. During the continuous administration of the composition A, the symptoms of panting caused by stair climbing, breathing difficulties, stagnation of vital energy, and the weariness all improved.
According to the above results, the medical herb composition of the present invention can improve the cardiopulmonary function, strength, and the symptoms of breathing difficulties, stagnation of vital energy, and wearness.
The observed human of the present embodiment was a male, 53 years old, 165 cm height, 70 Kg weight, and without heart disease. His clinical symptom was panting when stair climbing from the first to the third floor.
After the administration of the composition A for 5 days, the symptom of panting caused by stair climbing floors improved. During the continuous administration of the composition A, the symptoms of panting caused by stair climbing, breathing difficulties, and stagnation of vital energy all improved and the weariness significantly decreased.
According to the above results, the medical herb composition A of the present invention can improve the cardiopulmonary function, and strength, and reduce weariness.

After the administration of the composition A for 2 months, the observed human of the embodiment 5 no longer received the composition A, and her symptoms which were the same as those before the administration of the composition A appeared again.
Alternatively, the observed human of the embodiment 5 received a composition B as a control group, comprising 5 grams of Schisandra extract, 10 grams of Ginseng extract, and 10 grams of Radix ophiopogonis extract/per 12 gram powders. After the administration of the composition B for 10 days, the cardiopulmonary function of the tested human improved. The symptom of panting when stair climbing improved by the administration of the composition B, but the efficiency of the composition B was less obvious than that of the composition A.
According to the results, the composition B can improve the cardiopulmonary function and strength, but the efficiency of the composition B is less obvious than that of the composition A. In addition, the composition B cannot obviously improve the symptoms of breathing difficulties and stagnation of vital energy.
After the administration of the composition A for 2 months, the observed human of the embodiment 6 no longer received the composition A, and her symptoms which were the same as those before the administration of the composition A appeared again.
Similarly, the observed human of the embodiment 6 then received a composition B as a control group, comprising 5 grams of Schisandra extract, 10 grams of Ginseng extract, and 10 grams of Radix ophiopogonis extract/per 12 gram powders.

In addition, the composition B couldn't obviously improve the symptoms of breathing difficulties and stagnation of vital energy.
According to the results of the embodiments and comparative examples, the medical herb composition A of the present invention can efficiently improve the cardiopulmonary function, strength, and vitality of a mammal that does not have heart disease.
The efficiency of the composition A comprising Saliva miltiorrhiza extract is better than that of the composition B non-comprising Saliva miltiorrhiza extract. The composition A can efficiently raise the cardiopulmonary function and strength of a person to improve the symptoms of breathing difficulties and stagnation of vital energy of a mammal.
