Description

  The present invention relates to a fingertip stimulating device that stimulates a fingertip of a hand, for example.

  In general, it is known that when the deep temperature inside the body is 37.2 ° C., the enzyme essential for life support activities works most actively in the human body. The average body temperature we know is said to be 36.5 to 36.7 ° C under the rectum and sublingual and 36.2 to 36.3 ° C under the armpits.

  If the body temperature is not enough to allow the enzymes in the body to work actively, naturally the enzyme activity will slow down. In some cases, you may get sick.

  For example, for a person with low blood pressure, the body temperature of the day fluctuates to some extent, so the body temperature is lowest in the morning and then gradually increases. A healthy person has a body temperature of at least 35 ° C. even in the morning, but a person with low blood pressure is often so cold that the morning temperature does not reach 35 ° C.

  For this reason, it is said that a person with low blood pressure tends to have a phenomenon that the enzyme does not work sufficiently because the body temperature is low in the morning and the energy does not come out. In other words, people with low blood pressure are said to be weak in the morning because the body temperature is low, the enzymes in the body do not work sufficiently, and therefore they become weak in the morning.

  If such a low body temperature state does not end only in the morning but persists thereafter, it can cause cancer, collagen disease, allergies, stomach ulcers and other diseases.

  Conversely, it is said that when a high fever comes out, brain cells are broken, but brain cells are not broken by heat itself, but when heat rises, the brain needs more oxygen, and that oxygen is enough The cell will be broken without being able to supply it.

  When high fever comes out, the body becomes tense, so blood flow worsens, blood circulation to the brain worsens, and the brain becomes deficient in oxygen. It is because of this lack of oxygen that children have convulsions due to high fever.

  In addition, “coolness” does not actually cool the body, but when the heat is taken away from the surface of the body by cooling, the body surface is exposed to cold so as not to let the deep heat of the important body escape. This is because the autonomic nerves contract the blood vessels on the body surface, close the pores, and avoid heat dissipation as much as possible to maintain the body temperature deep in the body.

  Thus, in order to always maintain the deep temperature in the body at 37.2 ° C., humans always adjust the body temperature. On hot days, you sweat to release vaporization heat and prevent your body temperature from rising more than necessary. Also, on cold days, skin and blood vessels contract and prevent heat from coming out as much as possible. The “autonomic nerve” controls the body temperature.

  The autonomic nerve is a nerve that unconsciously makes all adjustments in the body, and includes a sympathetic nerve and a parasympathetic nerve.

  The role of the sympathetic nerve is to increase the blood pressure, increase the blood flow, and send oxygen for the activity to the whole body. The parasympathetic nerve, on the other hand, works to relax the entire body by moving the heart slowly. It can be considered that the sympathetic nerve works mainly during the daytime and the parasympathetic nerve works mainly when sleeping at night.

  Autonomic nerves regulate blood pressure and blood flow by adjusting the function of the heart and the expansion and relaxation of blood vessels. Alternatively, the “autonomic nerve” determines whether each cell “works” or “does not work”. The autonomic nerve controls almost all cells in the body, and it is decided that cells suitable for the action at that time work, and cells that are not so rest.

  For example, when excited, the sympathetic nerves command the heart and blood vessels to activate the body. For example, when you eat something, the parasympathetic nerves command that cells involved in important digestion and absorption work and rest the rest.

  The energy that maintains body temperature comes from the blood that travels throughout the body. When you eat, it is digested, broken down, transported to the liver, and converted into energy. Exercise also creates heat with muscles. These thermal energy is distributed to cells throughout the body by blood. Therefore. If the blood flow is interrupted for some reason, the blood is not supplied sufficiently and the body temperature falls.

  One of the causes of blood loss is sympathetic nerve tension. For example, sympathetic nervousness continues when you are busy and working hard due to lack of sleep. However, normally, even if the sympathetic nerve continues to some extent, the parasympathetic nerve acts thereafter, and the body returns to an equilibrium state.

  However, if you do it too much, the parasympathetic nerves can't afford to work and your body will remain tense. Since the sympathetic nerve acts so that the blood vessel contracts, the blood vessel is narrowed in those who continue such unreasonableness. Since the amount of blood flowing through the thin blood vessels is small, the blood circulation volume of the whole body decreases and the body temperature also decreases.

  On the other hand, it is not always true that parasympathetic nerves should be dominant. Parasympathetic nerves dilate blood vessels, so that a large amount of blood enters the blood vessels. Since it takes time to move the large amount of blood, the blood flow is worsened in this case.

  From the viewpoint of autonomic nerves, even if sympathetic nerve or parasympathetic nerve becomes dominant, it can be said that the balance of the body is broken, hypothermia occurs, and various diseases are caused.

  In addition, the body volume such as blood volume is not adjusted only by the autonomic nerve. The autonomic nervous system, endocrine system (hormone secretion), and the "immune system" are the three regulatory systems that interact with each other. Therefore, body temperature is closely related not only to the autonomic nerve but also to the immune system.

  When sympathetic nerves become dominant, the proportion of lymphocytes in white blood cells decreases. And if the state of sympathetic nerve predominance continues and the body temperature becomes lower, the proportion of lymphocytes further decreases. This is because lymphocytes are controlled by parasympathetic nerves, and granulocytes in leukocytes are controlled by sympathetic nerves.

  When the body temperature rises from the hypothermia, the parasympathetic nerve becomes dominant and the proportion of lymphocytes increases. However, if the number of lymphocytes increases too much, the body temperature decreases. When the body temperature is low, the enzyme does not work well, so it naturally becomes susceptible to various diseases.

  Stress causes sympathetic nerves and causes hypothermia. Stress is a mentally and physically stressed state, and is a factor that excites the sympathetic nerve in situations where a large amount of blood must be sent to muscles throughout the body.

  In addition to physical things, sympathetic nerves are tense when there is upset such as mental “worries”, “worries”, “surprises”, “sadness”, “irritability”. However, normally, parasympathetic nerves act instead of sympathetic nerve tension, and the balance is not lost.

  However, if it continues for a long time even under weak stress, the parasympathetic nerves may not be able to restore the body well. When this happens, the sympathetic nerve is dominant and hypothermia occurs. When I hear about the history of people who have a serious illness, I have a lot of stress. It is dangerous that this sympathetic dominant state lasts for a long time.

  “Granulocytes” and “lymphocytes” are responsible for the immunity. If hypothermia continues, immunity will decline. Immunity is the ability to treat bacteria, viruses, and harmful substances made in the body to keep the body in a state that is always suitable for survival. When the ability declines, various malfunctions appear.

  The immune system roughly consists of granulocytes and lymphocytes. What is important for these immune cells to work most efficiently is body temperature.

  When blood is collected from people with normal body temperature (non-sick people) and the state of granulocytes and lymphocytes is examined, it is known that the number of lymphocytes increases as the body temperature rises. Since lymphocytes exclude things that cause harm to the body, the more lymphocytes, the higher the ability to protect yourself.

  As described above, when the body's deep temperature is 37.2 ° C, people with “hypothermia” who have a normal temperature of about 36.2 to 36.3 ° C under the armpits is about 35 ° C or less. It is clear that the deep body temperature is lower than 37.2 ° C.

  And in such “hypothermic” people, the “autonomic nerve” that controls body temperature is not normal, the blood flow of the whole body tends to stagnate, and the “immunity” also decreases Probability is high. In particular, it can be said that chronically hypothermic people have lower immunity and are more susceptible to illness than healthy people whose normal temperature is normal.

  Conventionally, “needle needle” has been known in Oriental medicine as a method of adjusting the “autonomic nerve”. The acupuncturist listens to the patient's upset and applies acupuncture to an appropriate acupoint to give the autonomic nerve an effective “stimulation” and relieve the upset of the patient, which is effective in improving physical condition. It is known.

Moreover, the treatment device used for the acupuncture therapy of a human body has also been conventionally proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-3-244464

  However, the conventional apparatus as described above has the following problems.

  That is, in the case of acupuncture needles, it is difficult for ordinary people (amateurs) to apply acupuncture needles to themselves, and in particular, it is difficult to give safe and effective “stimulation”.

  In addition, the therapeutic device for acupuncture therapy described in Patent Document 1 wears a treatment garment with a cut in a certain range including the position of the acupuncture point. Thus, it is unclear whether or not an effective “stimulus” can be given to the acupoint.
