Definitions

• the invention relates to a therapeutic patch for the topical application of naturopathic medicines, also referred to as natural remedies, and in general the use of a liquid or dissolved natural medicament, which is suitable for oral administration and / or for injection, within a carrier material and in particular in the form of the therapeutic patch on the skin for stimulation and treatment, in particular on trigger and acupuncture points and for meridian therapy.
• naturopathic medicines also referred to as natural remedies
• a liquid or dissolved natural medicament which is suitable for oral administration and / or for injection, within a carrier material and in particular in the form of the therapeutic patch on the skin for stimulation and treatment, in particular on trigger and acupuncture points and for meridian therapy.
• the invention is based on the finding that substances which are not or only slightly effective on the skin, when applied to certain areas of the skin and especially over a long period by gradual release from a carrier can develop a previously unused effect.
• Prior art is not known.
• the object of the invention can therefore be seen in making known naturopathic medicaments, in particular known homeopathic medicaments, accessible for further alternative forms of treatment.
• a therapeutic patch for the topical application of natural medicinal products which comprises the following components: a substrate made of a carrier material for at least one liquid or dissolved natural medicinal product,
• the liquid or dissolved naturopathic medicine is a homeopathic remedy.
• these are - as far as liquid - generally potentiated in physiological saline and can be used in the therapeutic patch in just this form.
• An external effect or application of these agents is generally unknown.
• the effect is attributed to the fact that the characteristics of the skin and the underlying tissue are special at special neurological trigger points, at acupuncture points and along certain meridians (in particular the anatomy of the skin differs, eg the skin resistance is lower) and thus more sensitive to the uptake of substances and information.
• the invention now makes it possible in a simple manner to develop additional therapeutic applications for known, liquid medicaments which were otherwise known only for oral therapy and injection.
• This may, for example, be used directly in hospitals or at the doctor's by making existing liquid agents externally applicable by means of the therapeutic patch disclosed herein.
• the patch (as a "blank plaster") can be filled by the manufacturer or, if necessary, in the clinic or pharmacy A ready-made filled plaster simplifies and accelerates the handling even for medical personnel.
• the patch In the private sector and when used without medical supervision, the patch must be reliable in function, easy and safe to use. This is also ensured by the plaster according to the invention, as described in more detail below. As a result, doctor visits can be saved.
• the therapeutic applications are varied.
• the patches can be applied alone (ie without further medical measures) on the skin, several patches can be used simultaneously at different points - even during a different treatment, such as.
• the patches may also be advantageously applied to acupuncture instinct sites, eg, immediately after acupuncture has been completed, or applied to the puncture sites of injections. For this, the patch must of course meet sterile conditions.
• the invention therefore also includes a set of a therapeutic patch as set forth above and a filled pre-filled syringe and, alternatively, a therapeutic patch and an ampoule for filling a syringe.
• an analgesic set of an ampoule with a homeopathic remedy or a natural remedy for the indication psychosomatic disease states and / or mental fatigue preferably Neuroinjeel®, or a filled pre-filled syringe with just this remedy and 1 patch with a Valeriana officinalis-containing Agent, preferably Valerianaheel®, in the carriers and fluids described in more detail below.
• the invention further includes a kit for providing a therapeutic patch as described in detail above.
• the set contains on the one hand an unfilled plaster ("empty plaster", see above), which does not yet contain the natural healing drug in its carrier material or a reservoir, and additionally the liquid or in solution provided natural healing drug, which is provided for the filling of the plaster carrier material or the plaster reservoir in a closed container, for example, the container may be an ampoule or a bottle, eg a dropper bottle.
• the therapeutic patch according to the invention can be made fresh on the spot, by the patient, the doctor or pharmacist or other persons, by filling the carrier material or the reservoir provided for the agent.
• a foam material made of various plastics
• a gel eg of silicone or polyurethane, preferably a hydrogel
• an absorbent fleece material e.g of silicone or polyurethane, preferably a hydrogel
• a gauze e.g cotton gauze
• an absorbent cellulosic material or a material with inorganic constituents which may for example also be enclosed in an envelope such as a thin permeable film or a filter paper.
• organic materials may include zeolites, layered minerals, clays, and the like, or may include these materials embedded in another material such as a foam or gel.
• the active ingredient is therefore to be provided in a "fluid" or fluid environment to allow for the migration or diffusion of the active agent, or the propagation of the effect via fluid structures.)
• a dry preparation will not penetrate from a dry carrier into the target region
• the agent is dissolved in at least one of the phases, and the fluid phase may therefore also be an ointment, cream, paste, gel or tincture.
• the surface-physically stabilized nano- and microsomes slowly release their contents through the body heat on skin contact. This is already known from applications on creams.
• liquid administration forms can be used, which are usually in ampoules in standardized form (standardized drug concentration) or as drops, e.g. in bottles / dropper bottles are available.
• These agents are usually composed on the basis of physiological NaCl solution, so that no skin irritation may occur, or they contain alcohol portions, which, however, also do not exceed a tolerable on the skin (comparable, for example, Franzbranntwein).
• the patch has a reservoir for the natural healing drug, which is to be opened mechanically in use.
• a reservoir is important when a longer shelf life of the patch is desired, to dry out a soaked carrier or any reaction between the active agent and to avoid the carrier, which could occur during storage.
• the reservoir is also particularly advantageous when unfavorable storage conditions or hot climates are to be expected. The later released dose is guaranteed in this way. Therefore, it may be advantageous to enclose the liquid agent in a capsule or a small container, and only release it shortly before use.
• the reservoir may in particular have a predetermined breaking point.
• the reservoir can be torn open or punctured with a thorn.
• the applicator can be covered with a semipermeable membrane to the application side, in such a way that the agent can diffuse through the membrane to the skin side, however, a backflow from the skin surface into the carrier material is reliably prevented.
• the entire patch is covered to the application side with a release film or a release paper.
• pressure-sensitive adhesives are suitable, as they are known from conventional wound cover patches.
• the pad can be made of any suitable material, for. As a textile material or a film. Again, very suitable materials of conventional patches of other types are known and need not be described separately here.
• the invention broadly encompasses the use of a liquid or dissolved naturopathic medicament, preferably a homeopathic medicament, suitable for oral administration and / or injection (intravenous or subcutaneous) within a carrier material, and more particularly in the form of the above described therapeutic patch on the skin for stimulation and treatment, in particular at trigger and acupuncture points and for meridian therapy.
• a liquid or dissolved naturopathic medicament preferably a homeopathic medicament
• suitable for oral administration and / or injection intravenous or subcutaneous
• injection intravenous or subcutaneous
• Neuroinjeel® is an agent for the field of application: psychosomatic conditions, mental fatigue, and contains the following ingredients: Acidum phosphoricum D 10, Acidum phosphoricum D30, Argentum nitricum D 10, Nitricum D 30, Platinum metallicum D 10, Plainum metallicum D 30, Sepia D 10, Sepia D 30, Valeriana D 10, Valeriana D 30, Anhalonium lewinii D 30, 1, 1 ⁇ l each on 1, 1 ml total solution, and Avena sativa D 10, Avena sativa D 30, lgnatia D 10 , lgnatia D 30, each 2.2 ⁇ l to 1, 1 ml total solution.
• Valerianaheel® is an agent with the following basic composition: Valeriana officinalis 2x, Picricum acidum 6x, Prunus spinosa 2x, Humulus lupulus 2x, Hypericum perforatum 3x, Melissa officinalis 2x, Avena sativa 2x, Chamomilla 2x, Ammonium bromate 2x, Potassium bromate 2x, Sodium bromate 2x.
• Other means may be combined in similar ways to be selected by the physician depending on the application.
• FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a therapeutic patch with a simple structure in cross section.
• FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a therapeutic plaster in cross-section
• Fig. 3 views of the pavement to Figures 1 and 2 from above.
• FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a therapeutic plaster with a reservoir in cross-section, a - e: various application stages.
• FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a plaster, designated as a whole by 10, of a substrate 1 made of a carrier material, here a foam sponge, below a support 2 with an adhesive layer 3 for fastening the plaster to the skin of the patient.
• the pad 2 is designed so that the pedestal 1 is completely covered.
• This embodiment has no reservoir, so that the foam sponge is impregnated directly with the liquid or dissolved natural remedy.
• the foam sponge 1 is covered to the skin side with a semi-permeable membrane (SPM) 4.
• SPM semi-permeable membrane
• the entire patch via adhesive layer 3 and SPM 4) is covered with a release film, which is not shown in this simplified illustration. It can also be put on several patches on a coherent release paper.
• FIG. 2 shows a modified embodiment which has additional compensation pads 5 around the carrier pad 1. In this way, thicker pads 1 are better protected against lateral leakage.
• Figure 3 shows in a) and b) two different possible variants for the pavement of FIG. 1 and 2 seen from above, namely once round and once rectangular. Other forms are of course possible.
• Figure 4 shows a more compartmentalized patch 10 with an additional reservoir 6, which may be formed of plastic.
• the reservoir 6 is shown empty.
• the reservoir 6 has the side walls 6a, which open into a cup-shaped projection 7 towards the carrier.
• the side walls 6a are not connected to the support 2 or can be easily separated therefrom.
• FIG. 4b) shows the reservoir in the filled state.
• FIG. 1c it is indicated how the side walls 6a of the reservoir 6 can be pressed downwards, wherein predetermined breaking points on the edge of the shell 7 break open and the liquid empties out of the reservoir into the carrier pad 1.
• FIG. 4d illustrates this in more detail, the side walls 6a are almost completely unfolded here.
• FIG. 4e it can be seen how the plaster in the final state is almost completely flat on its upper side, since the entire contents of the reservoir 6 were emptied into the carrier 1.
• the closure of the drug capsule 6 can be explained in more detail as follows: a lentil-shaped, bowl-shaped closure cap 7 is arranged under the location prepared for perforation on the underside of the capsule. After the drug has been expressed, when the deflated capsule (the reservoir 6) exerts a suction, the capsule sucks the closure cap 7 due to the resulting negative pressure. In addition, for safety, so that the full dose of medication reaches the site of action, provided that the lower capsule portion glued to the end cap 6b of the upper compartment. Thus, the capsule is prevented from unfolding again and thus suck the drug back.
