TWO-WAY MEDICAL TREATMENT APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a two-way medical treatment apparatus, and more particularly to a two-way medical treatment apparatus by making use of oscillated electric current to stimulate the vital points at the hands and ears in order to diagnose the cause of disease and further to achieve the function of medical treatment.

According to the theory of Chinese medical treatment, it has 1 0 been quite popular to cure vary kinds of diseases by means of acupuncture to stimulate the vital point of various portions of the human body. But needles used by acupuncture through many patients are subject to infection of some other diseases. Also because of the individual constitution of body which causes rejection with respect to the needles, the acupunture may cause needle sickness of the patient. Therefore, various kinds of medical treatment apparatus by making use of the oscillated electric current to stimulate various vital points of human body in order to achieve the function of medical treatment are emerged in response to the needs of the times. However, coventional electrical medical treatment apparatus are all relatively big and expensive, therefore are used only in the hospital and are not able to achieve the function of self-health-care. Although some of those apparatus are portable one, most of them have possessed only a single function for stimulating the vital points at the palms or ears similar to the
