Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a hot spring water composition effective for treating atopic dermatitis.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Atopic dermatitis is a chronic pruritic rash that tends to occur in individuals with atopic diathesis, and is mainly caused by severe pruritus, which develops from the age of 2 to adolescence. Have a symptom. Although the exact etiology is unknown, it is said that allergic, hereditary, and psychoactive factors are involved, and in particular, immediate and delayed reactions to food allergy, house dust, ticks, etc. have been noted. Came. Symptoms are characterized by lichenification, epidermal peeling, and scabbing, with lesions appearing mainly in the flexion parts of the knees and elbows accompanied by severe itching as described above. It is also characterized by repeated remissions, healing, and relapses and a tendency to become chronic. The diagnosis was family history, elevated serum IgE (hyperIgEemia), peripheral blood eosinophilia, and specific Ig.
Due to the appearance of E antibody.

There is no definitive cure for atopic dermatitis. Chemotherapy such as cleansing the skin and applying steroids (corticosteroids) or taking antihistamines and chemotransmitter release inhibitors internally, Diet therapy to remove eggs, milk, soybeans, hot spring bathing therapy such as bicarbonate earth springs and sulfur springs that have been effective for skin diseases as folk remedies since ancient times, other, garlic bath therapy, dokudami bath therapy, It is known to treat with Chinese herbs and, in unusual places, to drink citric acid. However, none of these treatments are definitive treatments that bring good news to patients with atopic dermatitis. That is,
Chemotherapy with steroids or the like alleviates the symptoms but does not completely cure them, and the more serious problem is its side effect, which causes thickening and browning of the epidermis. Diet is not effective for all patients with atopic dermatitis,
Hot spring bathing therapy has the drawback that it requires a minimum of 3 months to 3 years. There are few Chinese herbal medicines that have fast-acting effects, and their theoretical basis is also weak. The reason for drinking citric acid is not clear.

The present inventor believes that atopic dermatitis is caused by imbalance of essential minerals, imbalance of acid-alkaline and nerve stress. That is, atopic dermatitis is caused by the acidic constitution of the human body, and the nutrition caused by food is not completely metabolized, and this becomes a toxin which is excreted from the sebaceous and sweat glands of the skin. Therefore, based on the balance theory of mineral intake and the balance theory of acid-alkali, by adding a mineral salt having a specific composition to hot spring water that is considered effective for skin diseases, conventional hot spring bathing therapy required a long period of time. The inventors have found that it can be reliably cured in a short period of time, and have completed the present invention. That is, the present invention provides a mineral composition prepared by mixing 5 to 60 parts by weight of a citrate with 100 parts by weight of a mixture consisting of 30 to 75% by weight of sodium chloride and 25 to 70% by weight of seawater sylvin. A hot spring water composition effective for treating atopic dermatitis, which is added to hot spring water selected from the group consisting of earth springs and sulfur springs. Bathing therapy using the hot spring water composition of the present invention, by performing the mineral composition in parallel with the dietary intake of daily diet,
It is possible to cure atopic dermatitis, which has been difficult to treat conventionally, completely and in a short period of time without side effects.

According to the invention, sodium chloride 30-7
A mineral composition prepared by mixing 5 to 60 parts by weight of a citrate with 100 parts by weight of a mixture of 5% by weight and 25 to 70% by weight of seawater sylvin is used as bicarbonate for a skin disease. Add to hot spring water selected from earth spring or sulfur spring. The mineral composition is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-2.
No. 67216 is described as a salt seasoning. This mineral composition contains various mineral components such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in a well-balanced manner. Based on the balance theory of mineral intake and the balance intake theory of acid-alkali, various minerals essential to the human body are well-balanced. It is effective in ingesting and maintaining a good balance of acidity and alkalinity in the human body. Therefore, in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-267216, the mineral composition is used as a health seasoning instead of salt in order to eliminate the harmful effects (including cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension) caused by excessive intake of sodium chloride (sodium chloride). is doing.

In order to treat atopic dermatitis according to the present invention, it is essential to take the mineral composition for food in parallel with the bathing. The effects of ingesting such a mineral composition are as follows. The mineral composition contains sodium chloride as a sodium source and potassium chloride and tripotassium citrate in seawater sylvin as a potassium source, but the sodium / potassium ratio in the mineral composition is 1 or less. is there. Already by the WHO nutrition team, various diseases caused by excessive intake of sodium are prevented by a diet having a Na / K ratio of 1, and various diseases caused by excessive intake of sodium by a diet having a Na / K ratio of 1 or less. Has been demonstrated to be treated. Therefore, by ingesting the mineral composition having a Na / K ratio of 1 or less, various diseases associated with excessive sodium intake can be prevented or treated. That is, in the conventional intake of sodium chloride (sodium chloride), the intake of sodium was biased, and potassium could not be taken, so that sodium / potassium could not be taken in a well-balanced manner, but the mineral composition was not limited to sodium. Since it also contains potassium at the same level, both minerals can be taken in a well-balanced manner.

The mineral composition also contains citrate salts such as tripotassium citrate, trisodium citrate and magnesium citrate. It is known that the intake of citric acid keeps the acid-alkaline balance in the human body, maintains the pH of body fluid and blood at a slightly alkaline level of 7.4, and maintains health. This is known as the citric acid cycle theory. is there. According to this theory, ingestion of citric acid, which is a metabolite in the citric acid cycle (also called TCA cycle), which is the metabolic cycle of the human body, is said to improve the three major functions of the human body: digestion, absorption, and metabolism. ing. Regarding allergic constitution which is considered to be one of the causes of atopic dermatitis, it is caused by an acidic constitution due to imbalance of acid and alkali, imbalance of essential minerals and metabolic deficiency due to lack of citric acid, and ingestion of the mineral composition. As a result, the allergic constitution is also improved. The daily intake of such a mineral composition is about 13 g.
The amount is appropriate.

As described above, according to the present invention, not only the mineral composition is ingested but also the mineral composition is blended in the hot spring water so that the mineral composition is passed through the skin when taking a bath. There is a remarkable feature in absorption, and the atopic dermatitis is completely cured more quickly by ingesting the mineral composition both edible and transdermal. Further, each salt and citric acid contained in the mineral composition also have a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. As the above-mentioned hot spring water, since the hot spring water which has been conventionally said to be effective against skin diseases such as bicarbonate spring and sulfur spring is used, the hot spring water alone can be expected to have a corresponding effect on skin diseases. However, by adding the above mineral composition to the hot spring water as in the present invention, in addition to the effect of the hot spring water, the effect of absorption of the mineral composition from the skin and the sterilization / anti-inflammatory action, The atopic dermatitis is completely cured by the synergistic effect including the effect of the edible ingestion of the mineral composition.

The "seawater sylvin" in the mineral composition used in the present invention refers to a mineral-containing composition obtained from seawater, and specifically, about 74 to about 7 potassium chloride.
7% by weight, about 0.2% to about 0.3% by weight calcium chloride, about 0.7% to about 1.1% by weight magnesium chloride, and about 0.8% to about 1.0% by weight calcium sulfate. In addition, it is a general name for natural salty foods derived from seawater containing water and trace mineral salts. As the citrate in the mineral composition, tripotassium citrate, trisodium citrate, magnesium citrate and the like can be used. To prepare the hot spring water composition of the present invention, 5 to 8 parts by weight of the mineral composition may be added to 100 parts by weight of hot spring water selected from a bicarbonate earth spring or a sulfur spring. The amount of the composition added was 5 to 8 parts by weight, when it was added to 10 times the amount of tap water, the dissolution rate was about 0.5 to 0.8% by weight, and the viscosity was not felt. Because. Examples of the hot spring water used in the hot spring water composition of the present invention include bicarbonate earth springs and sulfur springs, but there is no particular limitation as long as it is a hot spring water that is conventionally said to be effective against skin diseases. Can be used.

It is preferable to further add a Japanese cypress extract solution to the hot spring water composition of the present invention. The scent of Japanese cypress calms the human mind, has the effect of relieving mental stress, and has the effect of stabilizing the mind. Therefore, for atopic dermatitis in which mental stress is one of the causes, the use of a Japanese cypress extract having such a mental stress relieving effect makes the therapeutic effect of atopic dermatitis more effective. As the cypress extract solution, a commercially available cypress extract solution can be used, and examples thereof include the cypress solution related to the production of Oil and Fat Products Co., Ltd.

When actually using the hot spring water composition of the present invention, the hot spring water composition of the present invention is dissolved in about 10 times the amount of tap water, and then the hot spring water composition of the present invention is heated to an appropriate temperature (for example, 40 to 42 ° C.).
You can warm it up to about 2 times) and take this bath twice a day in the morning and evening. The following effects have already been obtained with this first day of bathing. (1) Itching of the affected area is relieved. (2) The scab of the affected area is removed and bleeding stops. The above-mentioned bathing is carried out as a hot water for 6 days, and the hot spring water composition and tap water of the present invention may be added in the above proportion as much as the reduced hot spring. The reason for using hot water is that there is an economic problem, but this bath water does not cause a bad odor and does not deteriorate. If this bathing is continued for 1 week, the symptoms will be relieved considerably, and if continued for 2 weeks, new skin will be gradually formed on the affected area, and the skin will become healthy in 4 weeks (1 month).

When taking a bath using the hot spring water composition of the present invention, no rising water is required. When bathing with seawater, washing with water is necessary because the salt component is about 2%. Further, in the case of seawater, since most of sodium is not well balanced in minerals, the effects of the hot spring water composition of the present invention cannot be expected in a general salt bath or seawater bath. In addition, when taking a bath, it is more effective to wipe the water with a towel or the like after the bath and dry it, and then apply horse oil thinly to the affected area. Horse oil, which has almost the same composition as fats and oils of the human body, has been prized since ancient times as a mystic drug for burns.In modern times, it is often used as a skin cosmetic for its antibacterial action, protective action and new generation action. There is.

The effects of the hot spring water composition of the present invention can be summarized as follows. (1) Atopic dermatitis can be treated in a relatively short period of time. (2) By absorbing various essential minerals and citric acid from the skin, blood and body fluids are kept slightly alkaline at pH 7.4 and the metabolic functions of the human body are activated. First, pyroglucic acid, which is a residue of metabolic burning of nutrients, is rapidly decomposed into carbon dioxide gas and water, and thus the generation of toxins is prevented.
The onset of atopic dermatitis can be prevented. (3) Stop itching of the skin. (4) Stop bleeding in the affected area. (5) Smooth the skin. (6) It has a beautiful skin effect. (7) Prevent the generation of spots and freckles. (8) It has a sterilizing effect on the skin epidermis and prevents suppuration. (9) Has a heat retaining effect on the human body. (10) The scent of Japanese cypress eliminates mental stress and has a mental stabilizing effect.
