[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health / medical device utilizing weak electromagnetic waves.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as this kind of health / medical device, acupoint therapy device which stimulates acupoints (acupoints) by relatively low frequency electromagnetic waves generated by electrostatic induction of metal (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-16679). (See, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sho 61-61).
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 45777/1992), a therapeutic device for making skin contact with human skin formed of a metal or a derivative thereof via a conductive medium (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-135675), and treatment using a self-medicating germanium sheet Container (for example, JP-A-60-2
No. 10264), a belly band made of conductive plastic for preventing techno stress caused by electromagnetic waves (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No.
No.-10007), clothing for shielding electromagnetic waves (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-247777), and therapeutic devices generally using far-infrared rays, magnetism, static electricity, low frequency, and high frequency.
Etc. are known.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional technique, the voltage rise on the skin of the human body due to the low-frequency electromagnetic wave is remarkable, and the treatment result is extremely strong, and the method of use is greatly restricted. Was. Furthermore, there is a problem that stimulation of skin by low-frequency electromagnetic waves is not considered.

Therefore, the health / medical device utilizing weak electromagnetic waves according to the present invention solves such problems of the conventional treatment device, and is used for acupoints and the like mainly at a relatively low frequency of about 100 KHz or more. It is based on a completely different technical idea from the conventional technology, such as considering the stimulation of weak electromagnetic waves, and corresponds to the position of acupoints in the Oriental medicine of the human body, skin or affected area with visceral body wall reflection It is an object of the present invention to provide a health / medical device in which a non-magnetized conductive substance having an electric resistance intermediate between that of a conductive material and an insulating material is used.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the health / medical device according to the present invention uses a conductive material so as to correspond to the position of the so-called oriental medicine acupoint of the human body or the affected part according to the symptoms of the disease. An unmagnetized conductive material having an electrical resistance intermediate between the material and the insulating material, and an insulator made of an insulating material for preventing the conductive material from coming into contact with human skin are attached.

[0006]

With such a configuration, electrostatic induction is generated around the conductive material, and the high frequency voltage of the skin is increased mainly by a weak electromagnetic wave of a relatively low frequency of about 100 KHz or more. The affected area is treated very well, such as by the flow of more current.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Health using weak electromagnetic waves of the present invention. An embodiment of the medical device will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the principle of the present invention will be described.

In a modern living environment, electromagnetic waves radiated from a spark plug of an automobile, a train, electronic OA equipment, and the like are flying around the human body. Generally, when a metal is present on the surface of a human body, the high frequency voltage of the skin increases when measured by a high frequency voltmeter due to electromagnetic waves. Since this phenomenon is caused by electromagnetic waves, the same occurs even if the metal does not directly contact the skin of the human body. Such a phenomenon is known as an indirect action of an electric field on a living body, in which an induced current due to electrostatic induction and a current induced in a metal body flow into the human body after the body contacts the metal body (for example, Toyoaki Omori, Electromagnetism and living body, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (Showa 62), pp
23-30).

In particular, when measuring using an AC ammeter and a high-frequency voltmeter, in acupoints referred to in Oriental medicine, not only DC and low-frequency currents but also electromagnetic waves of relatively low frequency, which is high frequency, are not affected by other skin. It can be seen that the electric resistance (impedance) is lower than that of the portion. for that reason,
As the skin voltage increases, this will cause more current to flow through the acupoint than normal. It is generally known that the electric resistance of an acupoint is low and that stimulation of a current has an acupoint therapeutic effect by a low-frequency therapeutic device. It is known that the electrical resistance of the skin other than the acupoints related to the affected part also decreases.

When a conductive substance having a high electric resistance is brought close to a human body and its characteristics are confirmed by three kinds of high-frequency voltmeters (RF probes) having different cutoff frequencies, the following results are obtained.

That is, in the case of electromagnetic waves having a low frequency of about 100 KHz or less, the voltage of the human skin, like the insulator,
It does not rise or fall compared to normal. On the other hand, about 100K
It can be seen that with electromagnetic waves having a relatively low frequency of not less than Hz, electrostatic induction occurs on the skin and the voltage increases. At a frequency higher than this, the skin voltage slightly decreases, that is, a so-called shielding effect is exhibited. In the case where the area and the thickness are large, an increase of 100 KHz or more has not been confirmed.

By using such a conductive substance for treatment, an electromagnetic field to the acupuncture points (so-called acupoints), a weak stimulus by a high-frequency current, and a weak stimulus to the skin having a visceral body wall reflection are mainly generated. Stabilization of autonomic nerves by weak electromagnetic waves,
Activation of living tissue, promotion of blood circulation, anti-inflammatory / analgesic, and sedation will be achieved. In addition, removal of harmful substances such as PCB, trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, and dioxin, which cannot be decomposed in the liver, and a so-called bleeding effect were observed. This phenomenon can be explained by the concept of so-called handgrip, and it is also possible to apply the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

In particular, the conductive material is insulated from the skin in order to prevent DC current from flowing through the skin of the human body to charge the epidermal capacitance, making it difficult for the current to flow and reducing the therapeutic effect.

The health / medical device using weak electromagnetic waves according to the present invention is based on the above-described principle. As shown in FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention employs a conductive material excluding a semiconductor material and an insulating material. An insulating skin 3 is adhered to a thin film 2 made of a conductive material that has an intermediate electrical resistance and is not magnetized, and furthermore, an adhesive 4 that does not damage the skin such as a bandage for treatment is applied to the film 3. Applied and pasted health and medical equipment 1
Is configured.

The health / medical device 1 thus constructed
As shown in FIG. 2, is cut into an appropriate size from a roll-shaped material wound like a bandage as required, and is adhered to an effective acupoint, the position of the skin, or the affected part. In this case, the surface of the adhesive 4 faces the skin so that the conductive material thin film 2 does not directly contact the skin. Thereby, the thin film 2 of the conductive substance corresponds to the position of the acupoint or the skin or the affected part, and electrostatic induction occurs around the thin film 2,
With electromagnetic waves of a relatively low frequency (weak electromagnetic waves) having a frequency of about 100 KHz or more, the high-frequency voltage on the skin rises, and the current flows naturally to the acupoints, so that the affected area is treated very well. It should be noted that stimulation of the skin by the adhesive may enhance the therapeutic effect.

Further, since the present invention does not require direct contact of the conductive substance with the skin, it can be applied over a plaster, a gauze, a bandage or underwear, and can be applied over a large affected area.

The conductive substance used in the health / medical device of the present invention has an intermediate electric resistance between the conductive material and the insulating material and is converted into a DC electric resistance value (volume specific resistance value) in a product state. For example, a conductive material mixed with carbon powder of about 10 ³ to 10 ⁶ Ω / cm is a good example. For example, a resistance material (a part of plastics, a part of carbon, a part of ceramics, etc.) other than a metal resistance material such as nichrome corresponds to this kind of conductive substance. In the present invention, these materials are used without being magnetized.

Further, as a second embodiment of the health / medical device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a film 3a of a cosmetic insulator is stuck on the upper side of a film 2 of a conductive substance. An insulator film 3b is attached to the lower side of the conductive material film 2 to form a bracelet, an annulus, a choker, a ring, a fastener for slacks, a supporter, and the like, and used as a health / medical device. In the case of the second embodiment, the insulating film 3b side faces the skin with the inside facing the skin, and a desired therapeutic effect can be obtained. The cloth for the front zipper for slacks is the same as the conventional one, the upper part is about 6 cm as shown in FIG. 3, and the moving part and the lower part are all insulators.

Further, as a third embodiment of the health / medical device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. A sterilized gauze 5 of the same size is stuck on the above to form a gauze-adhered bandage 1b. According to the bandage 1b with gauze, anti-inflammation, analgesia, and healing of trauma are extremely promoted.

Further, as a fourth embodiment of the health / medical device of the present invention, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the VI-VI cross-section is used as a shoe insole 6 with an insulating film 3 c adhered to the conductive material film 2 so that the insulating film 3 c is on top. ,
The conductive material film 2 is made to correspond to the position A of the acupoint, and the conductive material film 2 is directly
Avoid contact with skin. In addition, the health of the present invention
As a fifth embodiment of a medical device, as shown in FIG.
To form particles, mixed with ointment or nail polish, and used as a health / medical device, removing trauma, stains, bruises, acne, wrinkles, polishing,
Alternatively, it can be provided for health promotion.

The health care device of the present invention can also be used for stress relief and treatment of livestock, pets, race horses and the like.

In using the health / medical device of the present invention, the following should be noted.

Non-magnetized metal products (eg, metal eyeglass frames, eyeglass frames with metal wires in vines, earrings, piercings, necklaces, brooches,
Necklaces, watches, bracelets, rings, shoes or sandals with iron plate on the bottom, underwear with metal wire, metal fasteners, ties, clothing metal fasteners, belt buckles, coins, electromagnetic shielding aprons, metal About 10% due to electrostatic induction of electromagnetic waves.
Below 0 kHz, the skin voltage rises significantly. Since electromagnetic waves are alternating current, the same is true even if the metal is not in direct contact with the skin. Stimulation of skin with acupuncture points (so-called acupoints) or visceral body wall reflexes that do not require stimulation by electromagnetic waves due to an increase in skin voltage, and depending on the constitution, may cause health problems (for example, irritation, sleepiness, dizziness, headache, Poor vision, stiff shoulders, back pain, knee pain, weakness, loss of appetite,
Constipation, high blood pressure, hair loss, reproductive disorders, insomnia, obesity, chills,
Various symptoms mainly subject to Oriental medicine, such as infertility, abnormal birth, decreased immunity, autoimmune diseases such as atopic dermatitis and allergy, autonomic dysfunction, menopause, bullying, and school refusal). Therefore, depending on the constitution, wearing of a metal product is not preferable. It is also preferable to avoid mounting metal products in order to maximize the effects of the present invention.
This phenomenon is rarely noticed because it is generally masked by homeostasis, but care must be taken as a cause of health problems due to the non-thermal action of electromagnetic waves. Consideration of this point is also necessary for the measurement of stress and animal experiments for measuring the effects of electromagnetic waves (PCT / JP87 / 01018 and P
CT / JP88 / 00532).

According to the acupuncture and moxibustion meridians, a very sensitive constitution is called a meridian sensitive person. According to the meridian sensitive person, taking a traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating a general acupuncture point, wearing five finger socks, and applying horse oil According to the use of the present invention, a warm thing flows at a slow speed along the position and the direction of flow that have been said to be the meridians from ancient times. On the other hand, it is said that this flow is cold when the acupuncture point is stimulated by metal. Therefore, it is presumed that the present invention has an effect close to that of the conventional treatment method.

When the electromagnetic wave is extremely weak without wearing a metal product, the skin is appropriately stimulated, and it cannot be determined that this is bad for the health. However, depending on the strength, a person flowing through the meridian is cold according to a meridian sensitive person. Whether this is healthy remains questionable.

According to a meridian sensitive person, taking a herbal medicine or the like may cause itching grooves, which diagonally connect meridians, to the skin. This is because the effect of the stimulation on the acupoints is different even on the same meridian, because it suggests the existence of a line connecting the meridians besides the so-called branch vein. Care must be taken in the treatment of.

Although the meridian flow has been shown to be slow, the analgesic effect of the acupuncture point is instantaneous, except for tension anesthesia, whereby the meridian point is the junction of the meridian flow and the nerve Is assumed. Therefore, both in the use of the present invention and in the treatment of other Oriental medicine,
We need to keep this in mind. Hereinafter, the same applies to (10).

[0029] Therapy of Oriental Medicine, including this invention tend to consumable such as vitamins (in particular vitamin A, carotene, vitamin B _2, vitamin B ₁₂ and vitamin E, or citric acid, potassium and benzoic acid), Caution must be taken.

In Buddhism there is an expression of eye, ear, nose, and tongue as a root, but if applied to modern therapies, eye-art (art) therapy, ear-music therapy, nose-aromatherapy, tongue-dietary therapy / medication Such as body-yoga, qigong, acupuncture and moxibustion, meaning-zazen, autonomic training, psychotherapy, etc., the present invention is a method belonging to the body, and the position of the comprehensive health law described above. Is positioned as part of

Acupoints may be burned, for example, with a sine wave electromagnetic wave, even if it is weak, and care must be taken.

Each acupoint contains information on which meridian is to be kept in what balance, and it is controlled by the whole body, and the ratio of the balance of one organ or the meridian of an organ is controlled by a plurality of acupoints. It seems that the acupoints and the organs and organs have an interrelationship in a maintained manner.

(10) When acupuncture points that do not require stimulation are stimulated, a biological reaction occurs in a direction excluding the stimulation, and for example, a wound of acupuncture and moxibustion is healed quickly, or a certain lipid is secreted and a bandage is peeled off. The phenomenon seems to occur.

[0034]

According to the health / medical device of the present invention, the conductive substance is made to correspond to an acupoint or an affected area without directly contacting the skin of the human body, thereby facilitating the presence of the weakness naturally existing around the conductive substance. Electromagnetic induction causes electrostatic induction to increase the high-frequency voltage on the skin, and current flows through acupoints and the like, thereby treating the affected area and promoting health.
The effect appears in a short time, and may not be suitable for long-term use.
