Research and Development of a Novel Natural Health Product for Pain Relief
This project aims to characterize and standardize Relief Mx, a liquid designed for pain management. Relief Mx combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmaceutical components as an alternative to steroid-based nerve block treatments. The formulation includes active ingredients extracted from four herbal medicines: Achyranthes bidentata, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle), and Dendrobium. This study will identify the key constituents of Relief Mx, assess their stability and solubility, and investigate its permeation across membranes in vitro to better understand its pharmaceutical properties. By establishing a clear pharmaceutical profile and evaluating its permeability and diffusion, this research will support product standardization, enhance quality control, and provide scientific validation. These findings will help the partner organization improve product consistency and credibility, facilitating broader clinical adoption and natural health product approval.
