BACKGROUND ART
Natural compounds are extracted from various sources, among which herbs are the most common. Due to their biodiversity, crude extracts from herbs often contain bioactive compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolics, which have been widely used as sources of natural medicines and health care products. In recent years, medicinal plants have attracted significant attention as a source of secondary metabolites for screening in the treatment of chemotherapeutic drug resistance, using in vitro, in vivo, and in silico approaches. Drug development through phytopharmaceutical techniques offers an efficient, cost-effective, and safe alternative to conventional methods such as animal cell culture and microbial fermentation. Therefore, plant-derived natural compounds have the potential to provide patients with faster and more accessible therapeutic options.
Extraction is the preliminary step to separate the desired natural products from the raw material. Different extraction methods are used based on the components and compounds in the plant extract. Distillation, sublimation, and solvent extraction are the most common methods used to extract the different active ingredients in plants. Some techniques with unique special mechanisms are created to ensure better extraction efficiency. Ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and combined extraction with the help of ultrasound waves are advanced extraction techniques.
Nanovesicles derived from natural products are gaining attention as innovative therapeutic agents due to their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to transport bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Plant-derived nanovesicles exhibit structural similarities to mammalian exosomes, making them suitable for drug delivery, microbiome-targeted therapy, and regenerative medicine. Nanovesicles' Potential applications include treating cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Additionally, nanovesicles have applications in cosmetics, agriculture, and the food industry.
Inflammation is the body's defense response to harmful stimuli such as allergens and/or tissue damage; on the other hand, the uncontrolled inflammatory response is the main cause of a variety of disorders, including allergies, cardiovascular dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and autoimmune diseases that impose a huge economic burden on individuals and therefore on society. There are many different drugs to control and prevent inflammation. However, some drugs will cause side effects; the goal is to use effective doses with the least side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to apply anti-inflammatory factors from natural extracts to enhance pharmacological effects and reduce the level of unwanted side effects to the lowest level.
It can be seen that the above technical solutions all meet the set purposes and requirements. However, the above inventions are still limited in that the compound components are very volatile, easily oxidized, and evaporated within a few hours, as well as the ability to penetrate the capillaries under the skin to help reduce pain, muscle stiffness due to heavy activities or sports, especially effective in physical therapy support. In addition, these preparations need to be controlled for the ability to cause skin irritation, not poisoning and odor for users when they are in working outdoors for a long time.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a plant-based extract complex composition containing stable, non-volatile, easy-to-use, and multifunctional active ingredients, which can be used as a massage medicine to support the relief of joint pain and inflammation, as well as antibacterial and antiviral products used externally on the skin or through the nose such as herbal inhalation products.
It is also necessary to provide a plant-based extract complex composition having the relief of musculoskeletal pain, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory does not cause any negative effects on the user's health and does not cause skin irritation.
Finally, it is also necessary to provide a plant-based extract complex composition having affordable and easy to produce, taking advantage of available raw materials, easy to collect, non-toxic, environmentally friendly but still ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the relief of musculoskeletal pain, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
This invention provides solutions to achieve the above goals.

Based on Table 10 shows that: The increase in thickness of the rat's paw at the following times after inducing inflammation was the smallest in the Voltaren group (15.67%) and the composition 100 group (17.62%), which was significantly lower than the biological control group (30.65%). The composition 100 group had a change in the increase in paw thickness.
In short, both indexes of paw edema and thickness of the rat's paw gave similar results: reduced paw edema volume and thickness of the rat's paw in the group applying the composition 100 and the group applying voltaren. Thus, composition 100 has an anti-inflammatory effect on the carrageen-induced inflammation model of the white rat paw.
The example 7 evaluating the pain relief effect of the composition 100, which is obtained from the example 3 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Test subjects: the experiment was performed on healthy adult (Swiss albino) white mice, the quantity used was 40 rats, both male and female, 5-6 weeks old, weighing 20+2 grams. They were nurtured to stabilize for 1 week before conducting the experiment at room temperature (27° C.-28° C.). They were fed with synthetic pellets for mice, and the drinking water was tap water.
Experimental design: The white mice were randomly divided into 4 plots of 10 rats each.
Plot 1: (biology control): do not apply to the mouse's feet;
Plot 2: apply salonpas gel to the entire soles of the mouse's feet;
Plot 3: apply voltaren to the entire soles of the mouse's feet; and
Plot 4: apply the composition 100 to the entire soles of the mouse's feet.
After 30 minutes from the time of application, the mice were measured for pain response using the hot plate method.
The measurement method is as follows: Place the mouse on the hot plate, which is always maintained at 56° C. by a thermostat. The reaction time to thermal stimulation was calculated from the time the mouse was placed on the hot plate until the mouse had a reflex to licking and/or shaking its hind paw. Removed mice that respond too quickly (before 8 seconds) or too slowly (after 30 seconds). Comparison of response times to thermal stimuli before and after the test samples application and comparison between plots of mice.
