[0005]

The plant of the present invention, Tyringent, is a kind of ginger (Moon peach) of the family Ginger and is a plant that grows well in Okinawa. The essential oil components contained in its leaves include α-pinene,
β pinene, ferrandrene, linalool, cineole,
Limonene, piperitone, cariopherene epoxide, nerolidol, terpineol, p-cymene, camphor, benzyl acetone, geranyl acetate,
Isothymol, α-humulene, cuminaldehyde, and mirtinol geraniol are present. These components give a bath agent effect as an active ingredient. In the bath preparation of the present invention, the yield of essential oil components contained in fresh leaves is 0.1%.
% Or more has a large amount of active ingredients and is excellent in effect. The dried beetle leaf strips of the tiling of the present invention are prepared by squeezing fresh leaves or crushing and drying without squeezing. The squeezing is performed by a commercially available squeezing machine, and the crushing and drying treatment is preferably performed by cutting with a mixer and drying, but may be crushed after drying. Squeezing is preferably performed to speed up drying,
Pulverization and drying may be performed without squeezing. The size of the dried ghetto leaf of the present invention differs depending on the degree of pulverization and drying, but the length of about 1 cm of the vein fiber is practical, and the one close to powder of several millimeters or less is also linear. Things are also included. You can put it directly into the bathtub as a bath additive,
Since sedimentation / floating occurs, it is preferable from the viewpoint of aesthetics to enclose in a water tub or a water permeable bag or a water permeable / container made of a composite fiber material of polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene and to put it in the bath tub because it does not give a dirty image of the bath tub. In some cases, the pack may be dyed and fiber-reinforced with wax using a mixture of a pale red pigment component and plant wax contained in the top of the moon peach stem. Further, when the pack material made of the above-mentioned plastic composite fiber is not used, a mixed paper of 30% of the fiber of the stem of the moon peach and 70% of kenaf is used.
Paper having a weight of 40 g per square meter may be selected from 00% non-woody moon peach paper (trade name: RT-1). In addition, the dried leaf of the ghetto leaf is prepared by adding hot water or a boiling liquid (boiling water or a liquid containing other bathing ingredients, and the hot water / boiling liquid obtained by well eluting the ghetto leaf component from the flakes with heat. The liquid bath agent of the present invention is obtained by adding a small amount of the liquid bath agent to the bath water to be used, and the liquid bath agent dissolves in the bath water more quickly than the bath agent of the dried ghetto leaf. In addition, the effect of skin healing was confirmed by diluting the liquid bath preparation itself to an appropriate concentration and directly applying it to the skin. There is no need to prepare other forms of carriers (dosage forms), however, for auxiliary uses in specialized medical hot water medical facilities, application rates, dosage forms, and other curative / inhibitory substances other than moon peach. Complementary choices, application rates of 3 to 10 g dry The standard is to pack and pack the moon peaches in bags, and to provide more psychological and mental stability than to cure or control skin diseases, like bath salts for general households. When placed, it is customary to expect an effect similar to aromatherapy, forest bathing, but in the present invention, 20-30 mg of the essential oil of moon peach extracted separately is dropped on the dried leaf of the goto leaf in the bag. It is also possible to increase the effect of the fresh leaves of Tyringetto tofu with a yield of the essential oil component of 0.1% by weight or more, because the content of the essential oil component is large and the effect as a bath agent is high.
