Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition for improving peripheral circulation and lymph drainage. The composition includes at least one extract of a fatty plant, at least one extract of a plant having astringent properties, and at least one extract of a plant with one or more effects including anti-inflammatory, formation of new, healthy collagen fibrilles, antiseptic properties, antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals, antiedematous, vitaminazing, and stimulating wound healing. The composition may be used to treat at least one of varicose veins, swollen legs, painful legs, stasis dermatitis, swollen arms, indurated arms, hematomas, ecchymosis, periorbital dark circles, periorbital swelling, and hemorrhoids.
Claims11
A composition for improving peripheral circulation and lymph drainage, the composition comprising:
- (a) an effective amount at least one fat serving a base of the composition, selected from a first group consisting of the following fats:
- palm oil, palm kernel oil (Elaeis guineensis), coconut oil (Cocos nucifera), cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao), shea butter (Vitellaria paradoxa), beeswax, and hydrogenated plant fat;
- (b) an effective amount of a first plant extract with astringent properties selected from a group of plant extracts consisting of:
- horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), vine leaves (Vitis vinifera), gotu-kola (Centella asiatica), Capsella bursa pastoris and Linaria officinalis;
- (c) an effective amount of a second plant extract having a known desired effect on a biological system selected from the group consisting of:
- potato (Solanum tuberosum), lemon (Citrus limon), birch (Betula pendula), grapefruit seed (Citrus paradisi), and rice (Oryza spp);
- (d) an effective amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) forming up to 30% of the composition's weight and being present in at least a minimal amount required for the DMSO to exert direct biological actions as an antioxidant;
- wherein the first and second plant extracts are extracted by maceration in the at least one fat, the maceration comprising:
- the maceration comprising:
- mixing plant parts with the at least one fat to generate a mixture;
- warming the mixture to about 80 to 100° C. while mixing;
- adding water to the mixture while continuously mixing the mixture at about 80 to 100° C. for a period of up to 60 minutes to form an emulsion, wherein the water forms up to 10% of the emulsion;
- leaving the emulsion to cool and macerate for between 1 and 12 hours
- sifting the emulsion to remove plant detritus,
- wherein the composition is configured for being applied to skin and is formulated in a form selected from the group consisting of:
- a solid bar configured for being rubbed on skin, an ointment form, a cream form, an emulsion form, a lotion form, a suspension form, and a gel form.
