Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a bathing agent compounded with crude drug, having high practical value, obtained by compounding a perfume and inorganic salt to a crude drug at specific ratios, capable of improving the problems such as odor and the stain of bathtub inherent to the single use of the crude drug while maintaining the excellent characteristics of the crude drug and facilitating the dividing operation of the agent. CONSTITUTION:A crude drug-containing bathing agent containing 20.0-60.0wt% crude drug and having warmth-keeping, sedative, analgesic and tissue- regeneration effects, etc., is compounded with 0.5-5.0wt% perfumery to mask the odor of the crude drug and impart fragrance to the bathing agent to improve the comfortableness of the bath. Most perfumery has insecticidal effect against insects attached to the herb and surviving after processing the herb to a crude drug. The agent is further compounded with 35-79.5wt% inorganic salt to prevent the problems such as the staining of bathtub and clouding of bath water caused by the single use of crude drug without lowering the effect of the crude drug. Furthermore, the addition of inorganic salt is effective to prevent the entanglement of the fiber of the crude drug and facilitate the dividing operation of the agent.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to bath preparations containing crude drugs. [Conventional technology] Herbal medicines obtained from medicinal plants have been used in folk medicine in Japan for a long time, and e! 1. +i products have been commercialized, and after treating medicinal plants as crude drugs, they are cut up and added to baths in bags (for example, Fragrance Journal No. 69, p. 39 <1984)).

Bath salts made with this herbal medicine are particularly effective in keeping warm, calming, analgesic, and regenerating tissue fibers. They emit a scent unique to herbal medicines, and they provide a sense of security that they are natural products obtained from medicinal plants. It has the characteristic that the above-mentioned effects are doubled when psychological effects such as longing are added.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the above-mentioned herbal medicinal bath additives are simply the powdered or cut form of medicinal plants, some herbal medicines do not necessarily have a pleasant odor (also, tastes for odors vary considerably from person to person). The odor of crude drugs as they are may not be desirable, and if the undesirable odor is removed to solve this problem, the medicinal components will also be lost.

Furthermore, if only herbal medicines are used in the required amount as bath additives, there is a risk of contaminating the bathtub, and they are more expensive than inorganic salt-based bath additives, especially when made into extracts. There was a problem. Additionally, when packing herbal medicines into bags to make it easier to collect the bath salts after use, there was also the problem that the fibers of the herbal medicines would become entangled with each other, making it difficult to package them.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the problems of the prior art described above, and by adding fragrance and inorganic salts to herbal medicine in a specific ratio, the odor of the herbal medicine is masked (covered) with the fragrance.
In addition to imparting a pleasant aroma to herbal medicines, the inorganic salts eliminate the negative effects of using herbal medicines alone, such as staining the bathtub due to the use of herbal medicines alone, and facilitate the packaging process.
This product provides a practical bath additive that takes advantage of its unique properties.

That is, the present invention contains 20.0 to 60.0% by weight of crude drugs, 0.5 to 5.0% by weight of fragrances, and 35 to 79.5% of inorganic salts.
The present invention relates to bath additives containing crude drugs containing % by weight.

Herbal medicines include, for example, chinensis (branch leaves), ginger (main), licorice (licorice), chinpi (chinpi), irises (iris 7a), sojura (blue kite), biyakushi (white plant), and valerian (deer hay). ), Keigai (荊芥), Kouboku (Atsuboku), Senkyu (Yochi), Spruce (Kisei),
Toki, jasmine, ginseng, cinnamon, peony (5 medicines), hatsuka (thin), scutellariae (Ml), saffron (mountain shield), dokukat (monopoly), matsubusa ( The ingredients used include pine, juyaku, lahendar, bran, saffron, aubaku, fennel, chamomile, and chili pepper.

The efficacy of these herbal medicines varies slightly depending on the type, but in general, as mentioned above, they are effective for heat retention, sedation, analgesia, tissue regeneration, etc., and the user believes that they are natural products obtained from medicinal plants. It is characterized by its psychological effects, such as a sense of security and a longing for herbal medicine, which further doubles the above-mentioned efficacy.

These herbal medicines come in the form of dried and cut medicinal plants, powdered ones, etc.
Its amount in the bath agent is 20.0-60, 1%. This is because if the herbal medicine in the bath salt is less than 20.0% by weight, the above-mentioned effects cannot be fully exhibited, and if the herbal medicine in the bath salt is 60.0% by weight.
If it exceeds 0% by weight, the bathtub and bath pot will become very dirty.
This is also because the hot water becomes cloudy.

Flavoring agents are used in liquid form for ease of handling and rapid onset of effects. For example, liquid perfumes such as essential oils or purified products can be used as they are, and single-body perfumes can be used by dissolving them in alcohol. Furthermore, the perfume itself may be liquid or may be used dissolved in alcohol.

The type of fragrance can be natural fragrance or synthetic fragrance, and it can be a single fragrance.
It may also be a so-called blended fragrance, which is a mixture of two or more types. To give specific examples of such fragrances, natural fragrances include avinis oil, anise oil, bay oil, helgamo thrush oil, bore rose oil, cananga oil, cassia oil, cedarwood oil, cinnamic oil, clove oil, and eucalyptus oil. , fennel oil, geranium oil, aromatic oil, jasmine oil, lavandin oil, lavender oil, lemon oil, lemongrass oil, mint oil, Japanese peppermint oil, peppermint oil, spearmint ura, orange oil, oakmoss ura, orris oil, patchouli Examples include oil, rose oil, rosemary oil, sandalwood oil, star anise oil, hechiha oil, ylang-ylang oil, camphor, etc. In addition, synthetic fragrances (including isolated fragrances) include:
For example, hydrobicaldehyde dimethyl 7-secur, phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acecur, caproic acid, enansinoquacinod, isohalerinoc-7-secur, benzyl alcohol, cedrol, cinnamic alcohol, citronellol, 1-decanoylbenzylcarbinol, 3 , 7-dimethyl-1-octatool, geraniol, 1-heptatool, 1-hexanol, linalool, 1-octatool, isopulegol,
Tetrahydrolinalool, 1-undecanol, cineole, borneol, amyl alcohol, anisaldehyde, citronellal, citronelloxyacetaldehyde, soclamenaldehyde, methylnonylacetaldehyde, nonylaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, 3-phenylbrobilaldehyde, undecylaldehyde, caproic acid Allyl, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl formate, isoamyl propionate, isoamyl isovalerate, benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate,
Benzyl formate, benzyl propionate, benzyl isovalerate, isobornyl acetate, isobornyl formate, isobornyl propionate, isobutyl benzoate, butyl benzoate, butyl butyrate, isobutyl formate, isobutyl acetate, butyl n-propionate, isobutyl salicylate,
Butyl isovalerate, isobutyl isovalerate, cetryl acetate, cinnamyl formate, cinnamyl acetate, citronel formate, p-cresyl acetate, dimethylbenzylcarbinyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl isobutyrate, ethyl caproate, caprylic acid Ethyl, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl alcohol, ethyl perabonate, ethyl propionate, ethyl salicylate, ethyl isobalate, geranyl acetate, geranyl formate, linalyl acetate, linalyl acetate, linalyl acetate, methyl cinnamate, Methylphenyl acetate, methylphenylcarbinyl acetate, neryl acetate, nonyl acetate, octyl acetate-1, octyl formate, phenylethyl isobutyrate, phenylethyl formate, phenylpropyl acetate, propyl acetate-1, isoprobyl cinnamate Me-1-, propylpropinate, turbinyl acetate, linalyl butyrate, snaryl propionate, isoamylhensyl ether, isosafrole, acetophenone, acetylvaleryl, dipropyl ketone, p-methylacetophenone, methylpeptenone, methylhexylketone, β- Examples include methylionone, δ-methylionone, γ-methylionone, methylnonylketone, γ-peptalactone, T-octalactone, diphenylmethane, eugenol, methyleugenol, tetrahydronyl-quinoline, and pinene.

In addition, to illustrate these fragrances from luminophores, luminophores include hydrocarbons, alcohols, thioalcohols,
Wide range of products including 1,000 onythyls (organic sulfides), aldehydes, ketones, acetals, ketals, phenols, phenol/ethers, acids, acid amides, lactones, nitro musks, nitrogen-containing compounds, etc. I'm reading.

These fragrances mask the good qualities of herbal medicines, hide the odor of herbal medicines, add fragrance to bath salts, and enhance the usability of bath salts. It has an insecticidal effect on insects that remain without dying or dying.

Examples of alcohols that dissolve liquid or solid fragrances include monohydric alcohols such as ethyl alcohol, dihydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol, and dihydric alcohols such as glycerin. etc. are used.

Such fragrances are present in bath additives in an amount of 0.5 to 5.0% by weight. This is because if the fragrance is less than 0.5% by weight in the bath additive, the effect of masking the odor of herbal medicines is not sufficient;
This is because if the amount exceeds % by weight, the fragrance is mainly liquid and is often dissolved in alcohol, making the bath agent sticky.

Examples of inorganic class 1 include sodium chloride, thorium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate,
Boric acid, borax, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfide, sodium sulfide, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, sodium thiosulfate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium hyposulfite Examples include I.lium and calcium thiosulfate.

These stepless salts have been used in inorganic salt bath additives for a long time, and they have the effect of retaining heat by themselves and as an oil component of bath additives, such as softening hard water. However, the main purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the harmful effects of using only crude drugs alone, and to prevent the harmful effects of using crude drugs alone without reducing the efficacy of crude drugs, and to avoid harmful effects on the human body. These additives may be present in the bath agent in an amount of 35 to 79.5 ffiffi%.

This is because if the amount of additives in the bath additive is less than 35%, it will not be effective in preventing the negative effects of using herbal medicine alone, such as staining the bathtub or making the area cloudy, and if the amount of additives exceeds 79.5%, This is because the effects of herbal medicines will not be fully exerted. These inorganic salts, when mixed with crude drugs, have the function of preventing entanglement between the fibers of the crude drugs and facilitating the packaging of bath salts.

In addition, small amounts of salicylic acid, sodium salicylate, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, citric acid, sodium citrate, succinic acid, sodium succinate, tartaric acid, sodium tartrate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, etc. may be added to the bath additives. Good too. These are water-soluble, dissolve in hot water, and improve, for example, bactericidal properties, acidity, and heat retention.If inorganic salts have weak bactericidal properties, salicylic acid, which has bactericidal properties, can be added. Also, if you want to generate carbon dioxide gas, you can add citric acid in combination with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, and if the acidity in the bath is strong and it feels like it stings your skin, you can add sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. When added, the soft texture increases and the feeling of pricking the skin decreases.

The amount of these water-soluble additives added varies, but the maximum amount is generally 20% by weight based on the weight of the bath additive, which is composed of the three ingredients of the herbal medicine, fragrance, and inorganic salts.
It is as follows.

In addition, although the crude drugs generally obtained from medicinal plants are mainly used, some crude drugs of animal origin, such as egg yolk powder, may also be included.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be further explained in detail with reference to Examples.

Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 Gaiyou powder 3019%, Shokitau powder 40% Ichiguchi
And a crude drug consisting of 30% by weight of candau powder, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride! Inorganic salts and fragrances in a ratio of 5:1 (pinene, linalyl acetate, geranyl acetate, cineole, borneol, linal, amyl alcohol, linalyl butyrate, naryl propionate, geraniol, Contains fragrances such as lavender oil and dipropylene glycol,
A sample was prepared by placing 20 g of a bath agent consisting of a mixture of 97 wt % fragrance purity) into a tea bank-type paper bank.

The amount of fragrance in the bath additives (in terms of pure fragrance, the same applies hereafter) was always kept at 1% by weight, and the amount of crude drugs was 0% by weight (Comparative Example 1), 10% by weight (Comparative Example 2), and 20% by weight (in the implementation). Example 1), 30% by weight (Example 2), 40% by weight (Example 3), 50% by weight
(Example 4), 60% by weight (Example 5), 70% by weight (
Comparative Example 3), 80% by weight (Comparative Example 4), 90% by weight (
Comparative Example 5) and 99% by weight (Comparative Example 6).

The above bath salts were used by 600 housewives for 7 days (however, the bath salts were changed every day), and the rate of recognition of the effect on feeling hot water, sensitivity to cold, stiff shoulders, feeling of fatigue or sluggishness, lower back pain, neuralgia, and chilblains. I looked into it. Also, the sensation of the place (the feeling of hot water stinging the skin), the feeling of bathing (
The detection rate for physical changes in the bathhouse, such as dirt on the bathtub (including the bathtub) and cloudy water, was investigated, and the results are shown in Table 1.

The rate of recognition of effectiveness is based on the amount of bath salts in one container (the temperature of the water is generally 38-42°C, depending on the temperature of each person's preference, and the amount of hot water is generally 150-200°C, depending on the amount that each person uses on a daily basis). The sensitivity of physical changes in hot water was investigated by soaking the bath salts in bath water for 60 minutes.

As shown in Table 1, when the amount of herbal medicine exceeds 20% by weight, the recognition rate of effectiveness increases.After that, as the amount of herbal medicine increases, the recognition rate of effectiveness increases, but if the amount of herbal medicine becomes too large, The rate of recognition of effectiveness decreases. On the other hand, the staining of the bathtub and the turbidity of the water are not so significant when the herbal medicine content is 60% by weight, but they increase when the amount exceeds 60% by weight. From the above results, it can be said that the amount of crude drug is preferably in the range of 20 to 60% by weight.

First of all, a high detection rate for physical disturbances indicates that the sensation of small objects has become worse.Also,
The reason why the perceived effect is low when the amount of fresh leaves is large is thought to be because the 7A's turbidity has increased and the effect is no longer felt mentally, even though it is actually effective. It will be done.

Examples 6 to 12 and Comparative Examples 7 to 8 Similarly to Example 1, a crude drug consisting of 30% by weight of staghorn powder, 40% by weight of ginger powder, and 30% by weight of licorice powder, and sodium carbonate and sodium chloride in a weight ratio. 5:1 inorganic salts and fragrances (beach and absinth fragrances (lactones, hexanol, benzyl alcohol, henzaldehyde, hexyl acetate, 2-acetic acid)
Prepare a bath agent consisting of a mixture of fragrances such as hexenyl, natural fragrances of mugwort, anis acetate, geraniol, and dipropylene glycol (94% by weight pure fragrance), and put 20g of this in an airtight bag. 10 larvae of the Noshimekoku moth were added to the container, stirred, and sealed, and the insecticidal effect of the fragrance was examined. The results are shown in Table 2.

The amount of herbal medicine in the bath salts was always kept at 50ffi%, and the amount of fragrance was 0% by weight (comparative example?), 0.25% by weight (comparative example 8), 0.5% by weight (example 6), 0 .75% by weight (Example?), 1.0% by weight (Example 8), 2.0% by weight (
Example 9), 3.0ffi amount% (Example 10), 4.
0% by weight (Example 11) and 5.0% by weight (Example 12).

As shown in Table 2, when the amount of flavoring agent reached 0.5% by weight, the larvae of the staghorn moth (the larvae of the snail moth are particularly susceptible to parasitizing snails) completely disappeared after 5 days. According to the experimental results described in 2, even if insects are mixed into the herbal medicine and stored in the bank, if the bath additive contains 0.5% or more of fragrance, it will not have an insecticidal effect.
i1j, and the growth of insects is thought to be inhibited. Furthermore, masking by fragrance becomes effective when the amount of fragrance is 0.5% by weight or more, and various desirable fragrances can be imparted. In addition, it is thought that the greater the amount of fragrance added, the stronger the insecticidal effect and masking effect, but both insecticidal and masking effects are practical when the fragrance is 0.5% by weight. If the fragrance exceeds 5.0% by weight, the bath additive will become sticky due to the fragrance, so it can be said that the fragrance in the bath additive is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 5.0% by weight. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, by blending fragrances with herbal medicines, the odor of the herbal medicines is masked, the odor of the herbal medicines is hidden, and a desirable scent is imparted to bath additives. We have been able to provide a practical bath additive containing herbal medicines that prevents negative effects such as staining the bathtub and clouding the water when used alone and takes advantage of the excellent properties of herbal medicines.
