Description

~Z79~7 HERBAL CREAM FOR THE SUPERFICIAL TREATMENT OF DISEASES
TECHNICAL FIELD
The field of this invention relates to a natural herbal cream for the temporary relief of superficial diseases, and is of particular advantage in the treating of hemorrhoids.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRIOR _ The usual medical approach to hemorrhoids is surgery. This approach is based on the assumption that what is no longer there cannot bother you. Such a philosphy absolutely ignores the cause, as it concerns itself only with the symptoms. Hemorrhoid surgery is a very painful procedure as well as being quite costly.
There are also available certain creams which when applied to the hemorrhoids causes the hemorrhoids to shrink somewhat thereby relieving discomfort and pain.
However, all such previously known creams, though somewhat effective, do not heal. Also, prior art creams are known to contain substances which are somewhat toxic. The use of such toxic substances may cause undesirable side effects in certain individuals.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE_ INVENTION
The cream of this invention is composed entirely of natural, non-toxic ingredients. The base of the cream (the nonactive portion) may take any of numerous compositions.
However, a preferable composition for the base is to include natural oils such as coconut oil. Tinctures of golden seal root, collinsonia root and tea tree oil are to be thoroughly mixed within the base. A preferable quantity of each is four percent golden seal root, four percent col-linsonia root and one percent tea tree oil. The function of the collinsonia root is primarily as an astringent (to shrink the hemorrhoids), while the function of the golden seal root is to decrease the inflamation and to eventually eliminate the hemorrhoids. Tea tree oil functions as a natural preservative as well as an antiseptic and also does have some healing qualities.
The primary objective of the composition of this q~

invention is to compose a cream for use in the healing of hemorrhoids and other superficial diseases. The cream is entirely natural in composition and has no side effects in conjunction with its use.
The cream of this invention is especially useful in the treatment of hemorrhoids. A hemorrhoid is defined as a painful swelling or tumor of a vein in the region of the anus. Hemorrhoids is an annoying ailment which has plagued many individuals of all ages and either sex, although it is rare in the very young. The pain may range from simple discomfort to excruciating agony.
Hemorrhoids are caused when the upward flow of blood through the rectal membrane is obstructed. Impeding the flow of blood up through the portal vein allows the remaining blood to congest in the veins of the rectum.
If the condition continues, the walls of the veins lose their tone and become distented. This distention of blood vessels can be external resulting in the hemorrhoids protruding from the anus. A hemorrhoid can range in size from that of a small pea to that of a walnut. As much discomfort can be experienced from a small hemorrhoid as from a large hemorrhoid.
The distention of blood vessels can be internal when the mucous membrane inside the rectum is the only part affected. With the condition of internal hemorrhoids, there is invariably a group of veins and arteries involved.
The blood vessels are in a varicosed condition and are un-able to expand or contract according to the amount of blood which is congested in the rectum at any particular time.
If the internal pressure becomes great, the small veins of the rectal membrane can burst, causing a discharge of blood. This discharge relieves the con-gestion and brings prompt relief to the sufferer. But, unfortunately, such bleeding can sometimes be so frequent and so profuse that the victim develops anemia. There are numerous causes of the hemorrhoids, such as constipation, constant looseness of the bowels, improper diet, con-gestion of the liver, as well as numerous other rectal ~Z7967 problems. Also, there may possibly be a connection be-tween hemorrhoids and a prolonged nervous condition.
Although the invention is useful for treating hemorrhoids, it is also useful for treating almost any superficial disease. Diseases in which treatment is known to be effective are exposed ulcers, psoriasis, impetigo, athlete's foot, ringworn, pruritic acne, scabs, thrush, eczema and erysipelas. Also, this invention is useful in treating sunburn, open sores, insect bites, cuts and scratches.
Additionally, in the veterinarian field, this cream is useful on proud flesh (excessive growth of granulation tissue), thrush (suppurative disorder of the feet in various animals), girth and ear infections.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Collinsonia Root A perennial herb indigenous to Eastern and Central North America. Within the root there is resin, starch, mucilage and wax. The plant has a four-sided stem from one to four feet in height and bears large, greenish-yellow flowers. It grows in moist woods and flowers from July to September. The rhizome is brown-grey, about four inches long, knobby and very hard.
The chief virtue of the plant is in the root. The medicinal action and use of the plant is as a sedative, antispasmodic, astringent, tonic, diathoretic and diuretic. The herb is used in the form of a tincture which is created by having alcohol percolate through the powdered or shredded root. Alcohol content of the result-ing tincture is between 55% and 65%.Golden Seal Root A perennial herb whose underground portion consists of a horizontal, bran~hing rhizome bearing numerous long slender roots. The aerial portion con-sists of a single radical leaf and a short stem whichbears near i~s summit two leaves with a solitary greenish-white flower that opens in April or May. Golden seal is cultivated and sold in different areas in the United States.

l~Z7967 This herb is also prepared in the form of a tincture from the root. Its uses are of particular advantage in any inflamation of a mucus membrane. Alcohol content of the resulting tincture is between 57% and 63%.
Tea Tree Oil Tea Tree oil comes from the interior of Australia.
As its name indicates, it is produced from a tea tree, but there are hundreds of kinds of tea trees in Australia.
This antiseptic oil comes from only one species of tea tree known as Molaleuea Alternifolis. It grows in swampy areas and is so har~ that it cannot be readily wiped out.
To destroy it, the very roots must be pulled out of the soil. The oil is distilled by steam from the leaves and branches. The healing action of the herb is due to the characteristic it has of mixing with the pus and necrossed tissue of a wound giving germicidal action and sloughing away of the dead and infected tissue while leaving a healthy, unirritated healing surface. Besides the tea tree oil having healing qualities, the tea tree oil also functions as a natural preservative. The use of the tea tree oil within the cream of this invention prevents the creation of bacteria which would destroy the cream over an extended period of time. As a result, the "shelf life"
o~ the cream of this invention is several years.
Combination of ingredients The cream of this invention is to employ a base material which is to be preferably composed of natural oils. Droplets of the tinctures of the golden seal root and the collinsonia root are added to the base until there is approximately four percent of each per ounce of the cream. Droplets of the tea tree oil are also added to the cream until the tea tree oil constitutes approximately one percent per ounce of the cream. The golden seal root, the collinsonia root and the tea tree oil are all thoroughly intermixed throughout the base when the cream is ready to be use~.
The use of the cream is to be direct appli-cation to the hemorrhoidal tissues or diseased or injured area. Suggested application of the cream is to be to ~27967 affected areas three times a day. Application is to be continued until the condition subsists. It is to be noted that although a preferable quantity per ounce of cream is four percent of the golden seal root and four percent of the 5 collinsonia root and one percent of the tea tree oil per ounce of cream. However, the cream will be effective if the golden seal root is between one-half percent and thirty percent, or the collinsonia root between one-half percent and sixty percent, or the tea tree oil being between one-half percent to ten percent.
