JPH1095727A - Bathing agent for aloe bath - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a bathing agent for preparing a bath (aloe bath) containing dissolved active component of aloe by effectively utilizing the hitherto discarded leaf skin or squeezed cake of aloe. SOLUTION: This bathing agent is produced by drying and crushing the leaf skin or squeezed cake of aloe and putting the obtained crushed pieces 7 in a water-permeable small bag 5 resistant to the passage of the pieces. When the agent is thrown into bath, hot water is penetrated into the small bag 5 and impregnated in the small pieces 7 of the leaf skin or squeezed cake of aloe to effect the dissolution of the active component. The active component is quickly dissolved in the hot water because the leaf skin and squeezed cake of aloe is dried and crushed in the form of the crushed piece 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathing agent for promoting the blood circulation of the body by bathing in a bathtub when bathing, and more particularly to a bath in which the medicinal components of aloe are dissolved (aloe bath). It relates to bath additives.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional aloe bath, the leaf skin of aloe is peeled, and the jelly substance (hereinafter, referred to as "gel") of the leaf is cut to a length of about 10 cm, and this is cut into a cloth pouch. A bather rubs the sachet in a bathtub to elute the medicinal components of aloe into the bath.

On the other hand, aloe is also used as a raw material for juices, drinks and cosmetics. The raw material for juice etc. is aloe juice, which is obtained by washing the aloe leaves in a water tank, cutting both ends, and then using a gel separator to separate the gel at the center of the leaves, and the gel that has flowed out. It is manufactured by performing a stabilization treatment for improving the storage stability. This stabilization treatment is performed to prevent the aloe juice from being oxidized in the air and discolored to black or altered.

[0004]

As described above, aloe is used in various products, but conventionally only gel was used, and leaf bark and pomace were discarded. This is because the extraction of medicinal components present in leaf bark and pomace is troublesome. However, it is known that a large amount of medicinal components is contained at the boundary between the leaf bark and the gel, and effective use of this portion has been awaited.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to effectively use aloe leaf bark and pomace which have been discarded.

[0006]

The bath agent for an aloe bath according to the present invention is characterized in that crushed pieces 7 obtained by drying and crushing aloe leaves or pomace are converted into water-permeable small bags 5 through which the crushed pieces cannot pass. It is characterized by being enclosed.

[0007]

Conventionally, the medicinal components of aloe have been extracted only from gels and used in various products. In other words, all the aloe leaves and pomace had been discarded. The applicant of the present application has found that aloe leaf bark and pomace are dried and pulverized to obtain crushed pieces 7, and by applying hot water to the crushed pieces 7, it is possible to extract a medicinal component and the medicinal properties used in an aloe bath. The concentration of the components is low, and it has been found that the concentration obtained by the above extraction method can be sufficiently used as an aloe bath.

When the bath agent of the present invention is placed in a bathtub, hot water enters the sachet 5 and the encapsulated leaf bark and pomace debris 7
And elute the medicinal component. The eluted medicinal component diffuses throughout the bathtub to promote blood circulation of the bather's body and exert various effects such as preventing hot water cooling. Since the aloe leaf bark and pomace are dried and pulverized into crushed pieces 7, the medicinal component is quickly eluted, and there is no need to rub a small bag as in the conventional case.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the bath agent according to the first aspect. This bath preparation 1 is obtained by folding a rectangular nonwoven fabric 2 into two, bonding the left and right sides 3 and 4 to form a flat pouch 5, and heat-sealing the dried aloe fragments 7 through the opening 6 thereof. It is. Fragment 7
, After removing the gel at the center (leaf) of the aloe leaf, the pomace after squeezing the gel or squeezed gel was dried with a sun dryer or a dryer, and oxidized in the drying process to become black It is manufactured by grinding leaf bark or pomace to an average particle size of about 1 to 6 mm.

The pouch 5 made of non-woven fabric does not pass through the crushed pieces 7 but can transmit water. The amount of the crushed pieces 7 to be put in the pouch 5 is set to be equivalent to 20 grams with respect to 200 liters of hot water.

[0011]

As described above, the bath preparation of the present invention can be used as an aloe bath because the leaf skin or pomace of aloe is dried and crushed, and the medicinal components are extracted with hot water. . Therefore, there is an effect that aloe leaf skin and pomace which have been conventionally discarded can be effectively used.
