Description

Method of Making Fermented Herbal Medicine Composition for Stress Relief and Sleep Improvement The present invention relates to a method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition for stress relief and sleep improvement obtained by fermenting herbal medicines including ginseng, astragalus, licorice, longan fruit, jujube, poria cocos, and jujube seed. The body responds to various chronic mental and physical stresses. While the initial state of excitement caused by stress leads to increased muscle tone and elevated blood pressure, chronic and repetitive stress acts on the central nervous system, resulting in headaches, migraines, fatigue, cognitive decline, decreased immune function, neurological symptoms such as depression, and reduced endurance and grip strength. Stress is a disease that is prevalent worldwide and is a symptom experienced not only by patients diagnosed with the disease but also by the majority of the general public. As agents such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants have been reported to have side effects along with therapeutic effects, interest in developing compositions using medicinal plants or natural products is increasing. Sleep disorders are a common symptom among modern people caused by various factors that disrupt daily routines and cause significant disruption to social activities. Insomnia is closely related to the social lives of modern individuals, to the extent that social or occupational factors are estimated to account for a large proportion of cases. However, while many pharmaceuticals are commercially available to address issues such as stress and insomnia, they have limitations in resolving these conditions, necessitating research and development on more effective herbal medicines.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1829810 Figure 1 shows a flowchart of the method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention. FIG. 2(a) shows a schematic diagram of a capsule containing the fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention, and FIG. 2(b) shows a schematic diagram of a capsule having different surface thicknesses containing the fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention. In the following, a method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition according to the present invention will be described. This is intended to be an example sufficient to enable a person skilled in the art to easily practice the invention, and does not imply that the technical scope and concept of the present invention are limited thereby. FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for preparing a fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention comprises: a first step (S10) of fermenting herbal medicines; a second step (S20) of drying the fermented herbal medicines; and a third step (S30) of pulverizing the dried herbal medicines. The herbal medicine of the first step comprises 10 to 20 parts by weight of ginseng, 10 to 20 parts by weight of Astragalus membranaceus, 1 to 5 parts by weight of licorice, 1 to 5 parts by weight of longan fruit, 5 to 10 parts by weight of jujube, 3 to 5 parts by weight of Poria cocos, and 1 to 5 parts by weight of Ziziphus jujuba. The herbal medicine further comprises 1 to 5 parts by weight of Schisandra chinensis, 1 to 3 parts by weight of Atractylodes macrocephala, 1 to 3 parts by weight of Dioscorea japonica, 1 to 3 parts by weight of Eucommia ulmoides, 1 to 3 parts by weight of Lycium barbarum, and 1 to 3 parts by weight of Cuscuta chinensis. In the first step of the method for preparing the fermented herbal medicine composition of the present invention, the herbal medicine comprises ginseng, astragalus, licorice, longan fruit, jujube, poria cocos, and jujube seed. The efficacy of the herbal medicine is described in detail below. The ginseng of this invention is not merely beneficial to the body but also exerts pharmacological effects. For example, when cholesterol and fat accumulate in the body, blood vessel elasticity is lost, leading to various diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction; however, ginseng helps lower triglyceride levels and promotes the breakdown and excretion of cholesterol. Furthermore, the saponins in ginseng are components that aid in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system; by blocking parasympathetic nervous system tension—which is a cause of low blood pressure—it helps alleviate sleep disorders and stress. The Astragalus of the present invention is a plant of the Fabaceae family, also
