1. The origin of the name of antiperspirant

Anyone who has read historical case-solving and martial arts novels must be familiar with antiperspirant. Sweating drugs have been mentioned many times in books such as Water Margin, Three Heroes and Five Righteousness.

For example, in The Water Margin, Sun Erniang, the dragon hag, and Li Li, the judge who urged the death, mixed the medicine of sweating with wine and food to entertain the passing guests, and after they fainted, they made human flesh into stuffed buns. Because the antiperspirant is so magical, many people speculate that it is a fiction of novelists.

However, according to research, there is indeed such a thing as "antiperspirant" in history, and some medical scientists even gave its general formula, among which Datura flower, Aconitum, Bubulu and Buddleja are the main components of antiperspirant. Sweat drugs are mainly used for anesthesia.

2, about the antiperspirant

About the antiperspirant, there is no exact record about its ingredient ratio in ancient books. Through the description of some medical writings, it is inferred that the main component of antiperspirant should be Datura flower.

Datura stramonium is a poisonous plant of Solanaceae, and it is also known as Solanum melongena and Datura flower. Datura stramonium is an annual herb, four or five feet high, with oval leaves, sharp tips and irregular wavy edges. It blooms in summer and autumn, with purple or white flowers, a funnel-shaped trifoliate corolla, and the edge is five-lobed. The fruit is oval with unequal spikes, and the four petals split when ripe.

the main components of Datura stramonium are scopolamine, scopolamine and a small amount of atropine, and scopolamine is the main component that plays an anesthetic role. Because its main function is to relax muscles and inhibit sweat gland secretion, the ancients used it to make antiperspirant.
