Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a drug that effectively removes body odor generated from the armpits, soles of the feet, genitals, and the like.

[Conventional technology]

When treating armpits, which is a typical form of body odor, the old method is to always keep the affected area clean and to suppress sweat, and rub roasted salt, roasted alum, or ginger broth on the affected area over and over again. was to be repeated. If the symptoms are mild, sprays containing aromatic reagents with antiperspirant properties are commercially available, and can be sprayed on the affected area to temporarily reduce the odor. However, in severe cases, medical treatments such as burning out the sweat glands may be taken by a specialist.

As for the soles of the feet, in the old days, people used to treat athlete's foot by applying pickled plums, a decoction of plum leaves, bancha leaves, or soaking them in vinegar, so it is important to keep the affected area clean and dry. Must be. Recently, various drugs have been commercially available as specific medicines for athlete's foot. Continuous use will cure the problem, but the effects seem to vary from person to person depending on the quality of the athlete's foot. Mild foot odor, not athlete's foot,
Choose shoes that won't get wet, wear thick cotton socks,
There is nothing to worry about if you replace it properly. Recently, socks made from chemical fibers containing pesticides have become commercially available.

It also has a therapeutic effect due to its hygienic and antibacterial action, and the odor is eliminated.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, whether it is a method that has been used for a long time or a method that uses recent therapeutic agents, body odor caused by the relationship between microorganisms such as mold and fungi and secretions such as skin and sweat can be reduced to just 1.
~It is not something that can be completely removed with two treatments, and it takes patience and many days for it to be completely cured. In the past, it was difficult for individuals to wear appropriate clothing and shoes for treatment, and in the past, it was necessary for individuals to try a variety of appropriate medications depending on their symptoms and severity.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a drug that can extremely efficiently kill molds and bacteria regardless of the site where body odor occurs and the types of molds and bacteria.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is a body odor remover consisting of a viscous aqueous solution containing sodium silicate as a main component.

According to the present invention, by applying a viscous aqueous solution containing strongly alkaline sodium silicate as its main component to the affected body surface that gives off a strange odor, it has the effect of killing microorganisms such as mold and bacteria living there, and The result is an antiperspirant effect and a body odor removal effect after one or two applications.

Body odor itself varies depending on the affected area and individual, but
Mold and bacteria use secretions from the skin and sweat as nutrients.20-3
Cells divide every minute to reproduce, decompose nutrients, and produce odor. Therefore, it improves the environment of the affected area, which is high temperature and humidity,
It is sufficient to apply a drug that suppresses the growth of mold and bacteria or kills bacteria. However, there are various types of mold and bacteria that live on an individual's skin, depending on the location, and medically, it is necessary to repeat culture and sterilization experiments to determine which drugs will work effectively on which bacteria and mold. Currently, there is no effective drug that can kill all the molds and fungi that cause body odor. For example, in the armpit, secretions from apocrine sweat glands and bacteria that feed on sweat (identification is incomplete)
, In athlete's foot, the fungi called Mildew, Shirachidrhum, and Tumori are also types of mold, and bad breath is caused by the growth of anaerobic bacteria, and tooth decay is caused by the growth of Streptococcus mutans, which decomposes sugar and releases acid. etc. are known. Also, although it is not a boat fishing problem, hemorrhoids are also interpreted as inflammation caused by bacteria.

Diseases caused by molds and bacteria on the human body include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Vibrio cholerae,
Only pathological bacteria such as Salmonella enterica are well known, but in recent years the causal relationships between various diseases and microorganisms have become clearer, and medical treatment methods and drugs have come to be applied.

Legionnaires' disease (Legionella), allergic diseases (Alternaria, Talatosporium, Trichoderma, Arachnoid), Kawasaki disease (mites), cryptococcosis (mold), aspergillosis (mold), tonsillitis (streptococcus) ) etc.

In addition to the above-mentioned molds, various microorganisms such as non-pathogenic bacteria, soil bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas bacteria inhabit the skin surface of the body. Sterilization is the most effective way to eradicate the causes of body odor.

Sodium silicate is also called water glass and is silicon dioxide (S
The molar ratio of i02) and sodium oxide (Na20) is 2 to
It is a water-soluble, colorless, odorless, highly viscous liquid whose composition can be changed continuously within a range of 4. It is produced industrially and is used as an inorganic binder in paper bleaching aids, synthetic detergents, adhesives, fire-resistant paints, etc. Although it was not previously known that sodium silicate has a bactericidal effect as a main ingredient, the inventor has discovered that sodium silicate has an extremely effective bactericidal effect on microorganisms such as mold and bacteria living on the skin. It was discovered that it has great utility as a body odor remover.

The method of application is to make a viscous aqueous solution of 5,000 to 10 poise by adding a portion of distilled water to a solution of sodium silicate, apply it to the affected area before bathing, hold it for a few minutes to 30 minutes, and then wash it off. Only. This drug is odorless, but if you wipe the affected area with a towel after applying it, it will emit a foul-smelling ammonia odor, which will kill mold and bacteria. Applicable symptoms and areas include armpits, soles of feet, athlete's foot, genitals, hemorrhoids,
They include hen, rimushi, white spider, etc.

The mechanism of bactericidal action is unknown, but molds and bacteria cannot live in strong alkaline solutions, are deprived of nutrients necessary for growth and die (particularly because they are isolated from the air necessary for metabolism), and osmotic pressure It is possible that the bacteria shrink and die due to the difference.

When used as a body odor remover, adjust the amount of water added depending on the area to be treated to adjust the viscosity to make it easy to apply. However, if the pH is less than 9, the body odor removal effect will be poor. In addition, ethanol, isopropyl mystilate, methyl salicylate, triethanolamine, propylene glycol, peppermint oil, benzoic acid, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, Flavors etc. can be added.

〔Example〕

A 30 kg can of J Sodium Silicate No. 1 (manufactured by Nihon Kagaku Kogyo ■) was used as the main sodium silicate agent. Collect about 1 kg in a beaker, add a small amount of distilled water and mix until the viscosity is about 100.
The mixture was adjusted to 0 poise (so as to have a soft starch syrup-like appearance), and 4 gr of impropyl mystylate, 2 gr of methyl salicylate, and 3 gr of tsuka oil were added as aromatic reagents and mixed again. This viscous aqueous solution has a pH of 14, which is strongly alkaline.

The drug was packaged in bottles of 50 gr, which is the amount for one or two doses, and given to 10 male subjects ranging from 18 to 45 years old, and the application method was instructed to test the application effect of the drug.

As a result, armpit odor was removed by a single application for a total of 7 people, including 4 who complained of armpit symptoms and 3 who said they had a slight odor, demonstrating a sufficient body odor removal effect.

The remaining three subjects also reported less sweat in their armpits than before, and all subjects reported antiperspirant effects.

For the seven employees who complained that their feet smelled, the odor from their socks and feet was significantly reduced and no longer bothered them when they returned home after work. For two people with symptoms of athlete's foot, the soles of their feet became dry and the itching eased after just one treatment, so a second application was performed one week later, and the inflammation resolved. The itching was completely cured. After applying the drug, the two participants were asked to wear new socks and shoes.

The four people who applied the product to their private parts also noticed that the odor after sweating was reduced, and the odor of the underwear they had worn for a day was almost unnoticeable.

One of the two patients who had complained of mild hemorrhoids noticed that the light bleeding during defecation became worse after application. One person also complained of severe bleeding the day after drinking, but after applying it, the amount of bleeding became much lighter and the pain disappeared. As long as I didn't drink too much, I was able to heal until the next day's bleeding stopped.

Two people reported positive effects of this drug. This is an example of applying it to the hem area, and the sesame seeds (black stains) on the hem were whitened by just applying it once to the U part of the hem, and it was cleaned thoroughly by rinsing it off in the shower.

Although the present inventor was not aware that even the sesame seeds of hens were a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, it was easy to visually confirm that this drug had a rapid effect.

One of the test subjects using this drug had mild skin irritation when using it, so the drug was further diluted and inorganic (CaC 125%) was used.
Although the solution was adjusted to pH 10 by adding an aqueous solution, the same effect as when not diluted was obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As mentioned above, applying a viscous aqueous solution containing strongly alkaline sodium silicate as its main ingredient, or an aqueous solution to which an aromatic reagent, an inorganic mineral, an inorganic aqueous solution, etc. is added, to the affected area emitting body odor can be effective. It was able to remove body odor, and as a result, it also had an antiperspirant effect. Conventionally, this type of drug has had individual and regional differences, but according to the present invention, it can be safely applied to any part of the human skin, and its action and effect will also be improved once the skin becomes free from microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. It persists as long as it does not become infected and multiply.
