Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Novel textiles for treating and preventing the Asthma is composed of bio active cellulosic textile compositions, which can be easily placed in contact with infected human skin in regular clothing, or worn for the treatment and cure of respiratory diseases. The Anti asthmatic bio active compound extracted from the two plants, is bonded to cellulose or cellulose-containing materials, or finished articles of clothing.
BACKGROUND
Respiratory disorder
Naturally occurring fibers, such as cellulose fibers, e.g., cotton and flax; wool; and the like possess properties such as moisture absorption, which renders them superior in many respects to synthetic fibers.
To overcome this problem, the prior art has described treating of naturally occurring fibers, such as cotton fibers, with various anti asthma agents to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungus. Because of the fact that the fibers are naturally occurring, such treatment can only be a surface treatment whereby the highly bioactive agent is applied to the fibers by padding or dipping of the fabric, or the like. While a treatment of this nature temporarily inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, the anti asthma agent is removed from the surface of the fibers after a limited period of time as a result of wearing of the garments and particularly during laundering. To date, no means has been proposed whereby fungicidally active cellulosic textile compositions properties could be more permanently imparted to naturally occurring fibers so that the fibers would possess anti asthmatic properties over the life of the garment into which they are incorporated.
OBJECTIVES
It is therefore a principal object of the present invention is to develop the natural organic fiber colored with the natural dye designed for enhancing a wearer's as colored cloth, while giving the wearer's a very natural appearance with therapeutic property with many other benefits used in colour therapy .
Another object of the invention is to provide the all natural cloth or fabric which exhibits superior strength, moisture absorbency characteristics and the treating and preventing the Asthma.
It is. accordingly, the primary objective of the present invention to obviate this problem by providing a novel fabric composition which can be contacted with, and applied to asthma.
A further object is the delivery of the highly bioactive plant extract through medicated clothing which, after use and after washing, can again be worn without application of additional drug to resume treatment of the infected areas of the respiratory disorder.
A specific object is to provide novel medicated garments etc which can be worn by the infected person to effectively treat the infected skin area. It is moistened by perspiration, or moisture from external sources; and the cloths, after use and after washing, can be worn without the application of additional drug to effectively resume the treatment.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel cloth or fabric which durability of the treated sample was found good even after 50 wash. The principle for therapeutic value of textile is the rubbing fastness of medicinal plant active ingredients and trans dermal application. The beneficial aspects of the medicinal plant dyes in comparison to any of the synthetic dyes are high.
The objects and features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, together
with further objects and advantages, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description.

Camphor
Common Names: Camphor
Botanical Name: Cinnamomum camphora
Family: Lauraceae
Cinnamomum camphora (commonly known as Camphor tree, Camphorwood or camphor laurel) is a large evergreen tree that grows up to 20-30 metres tall. The leaves have a glossy, waxy appearance and smell of camphor when crushed. It produces clusters of black berry-like fruit around one centimetre in diameter. It has a pale bark that is very rough and fissured vertically.
Camphor is a white crystalline substance, obtained from the tree Cinnamomum camphora. Camphor has been used for many centuries as a culinary spice, a component of incense, and as a medicine. Camphor is also an insect repellent and a flea-killing substance.
Chemical constituents
Camphor laurel contains volatile chemical compounds in all plant parts, and the wood and leaves are steam distilled for the essential oils. Camphor laurel has six different chemical variants called chemotypes, which are camphor, linalool, 1,8-cineole, nerolidol, safrole. or borneol.
Uses
The Karpura oil is massaged in cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, chest-pain and backache, with great benefit. Internally, karpura is used in various diseases. It is extremely beneficial in innumerable maladies like sore throat, foul smell to the oral cavity, asthma, and cough.
Yarn Preparation
The composition of fabric is formed, in a first cellulose activation step, by chemical reaction between a hydroxyl group of the cellulose and a first functional group of bifunctional ligand to link the latter to the cellulose via a covalent bond and a second step, wherein a bioactive extract of medicinal plants which contains a functional group capable of reaction with the second functional group of said bifunctional ligand. is chemically reacted with, attached and bonded to the bioactive extract of medicinal plants by reaction between the functional group constituting a component of said bioactive phenolic compound and the second functional group of said cellulose-ligand. Thus in a cellulose activation step, a bifunctional ligand is attached to the cellulose via reaction between one of the functional groups of the bifunctional ligand and the hydroxyl substituents of the cellulose, the cellulose forming a matrix to which is attached the ligand which yet contains an unreacted functional group. A bioactive extract of medicinal plants, which contains or to which is added a functional group reactive with the unreacted functional group of the ligomer of the cellulose-ligomer complex, is then reacted in a second step with the cellulose-ligomer complex to link the fungicidally extract of medicinal plants to the cellulose. Cellulose fibers, or yarns treated in this manner can then be processed finished articles of clothing made from cellulose fibers, or yarns can be chemically treated in such manner and the bioactive extract of medicinal plants bonded thereto such that the medicinally treated articles of clothing can be worn and employed for effective treatment of the respiratory disorder through skin contact with the clothing.
The cellulosic textile material, after the reaction, retains substantially all of the textile properties characteristic of the untreated cellulose textile material, and retains the uses of the original cellulosic textile material. The hand, feel and appearance remain essentially the same. A yarn, e.g., retains the physical properties of a yarn and can be woven into a fabric. A fabric so-treated retains the physical properties of the original fabric, and can be cut and the parts sewed together to form an article of clothing, and clothing so-treated will remain useful for their original purpose. All after treatment, however, will additionally be suitable as a drug for the treatment of those skin diseases for which the drug bonded to the cellulosic textile material was originally suitable. Preferred articles of medicated clothing are thus those worn in contact with areas of the skin likely to be infected.
The first step in the preparation of the composition of fabric in this invention is to activate the cellulose by attaching a suitable ligand to the cellulose material, suitably a cellulosic fiber, yarn, fabric or article of manufacture produced from such textile materials, this providing the structural unit to which a derivative of the drug, or medicinal can be attached.
The compositions, or articles of manufacture, of this invention can be provided and applied in essentially any shape or form, and can be formed from a cellulose textile material of virtually any shape or form. Suitably, the composition or article of manufacture of this invention is formed from a cellulose textile material, e.g., a fiber, or material shaped as a yarn, or fabric. A cellulosic textile yarn can thus be treated in accordance with the technique described, the yarn then formed into a fabric, and a bandage or an article of clothing, e.g., a sock, then made from the fabric. On the other hand, a cellulose textile fabric can be so treated, and an article of clothing made from the treated fabric; or, the fabric can be made into an article of clothing, e.g., a sock, and the article of clothing treated in accordance with the process of this invention.

Coating is a common technique used to apply dye particles onto textiles. The coating compositions that can modify the surface of textiles are usually composed of micro-particles, a surfactant, ingredients and a carrier medium. Several methods can apply coating onto fabrics, including spraying, transfer printing, washing, rinsing and padding. Of these methods, padding is the most commonly used. The nano-particles are attached to the fabrics with the use of a padder adjusted to suitable pressure and speed, followed by drying and curing.
Coating enhance and extend the range of functional performance properties of textiles and the use of this techniques is growing rapidly as the applications for technical textiles become more diverse. Coating is a process in which a polymeric layer is applied directly to one or both surfaces of the fabric
• Coating can mostly be used of products which having capacity to convert in viscose liquid form. This viscose liquid so easily can spread over the surface and form coating.
• Drying or curing process which hardens the coating to produce a non blocking product.
• Due to viscosity requirement it is limited to linear polymers, which can be coated as a polymer melt or solution and on cooling, form a solid film or form solid film on evaporation of the solvent.
• There are some types of coatings that can be applied in the liquid form and then chemically cross-linked to form a solid-film.
