Patent Application
20060269569
This invention relates to an antioncotic and pain relieving/reducing ointment for application to the skin of the human body. The ointment is based on principles used in oriental medicine, utilizing herbs and other compounds. It is effective in reducing joint swelling and pain, as well as other conditions in the body and on the skin.
Chinese medicine is an ancient art, having been in existence for over 4,000 years. Chinese medicine is based on different principles than are used in standard Western medicine, and utilizes natural herbs in many of its medicines in order to counter the ills of the body.
Herbs are plant, mineral, and animal substances that the body assimilates through its digestive, respiratory, and cutaneous tissues. They reorganize the body constituents recognized in Chinese Medicine (Qi, Moisture, and Blood) within Organ Networks and oust the Adverse Climates that are principles of Chinese Medicine (Wind, Heat, Cold, Dryness, and Dampness). Four basic properties dispersing, consolidating, purging, and tonifying represent an herb's potential for achieving a particular outcome. Properties are deduced from observing the effects herbs evoke.
Pain in the human body arises from many causes, but a primary one is due to swelling of tissues which causes impingement on nerves, that in turn transmit pain signals to the brain. Joints in particular, are susceptible to pain as a consequence of infection, making it difficult for one having joint pain to move around effectively. Additionally, arthritis swelling and pain is a source of great discomfort as individuals get older. There are many types of arthritis that form in the joints, and all in particular cause pain when the condition becomes severe.
The present invention is an herbal based ointment effective in reducing swelling and pain in the human body. It is primarily useful to reduce joint pain and swelling, but is effective also in reducing swelling and pain due to injury to all tissues, specifically cuts and bruises of the skin. As used herein, the terms “reducing” and “relieving” are used interchangeably, and refer in a reduction in the level of swelling or pain incurred as a consequence of illness, infection, or injury to the human body.
