Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
In a therapeutic ear ornament comprising a dec-orative frame adapted for being supported on the outer ear of a person wearing the ornament, the frame has crys-tals arranged thereon so as to be located adjacent the acupuncture points and -lines present in the outer ear of a person wearing the ear ornament thereby causing the acupuncture points and -lines to be subjected to the forces believed to be associated with crystals.

; The invention relates to an ornamental arrange-ment for attaching crYstals to a human bodY so as to Pro-lj vide for exPosure of the human tissue to the forces be--i 5 lieved to flow from such crystals, ParticularlY of the tissue of the outer ear which contains numerous acuPUnC-¦ ture Points and -lines.
Although not strictly scientificallY researched and without scientific Proof, acuPuncture has been well 10 established in the diagnosis and therapy of the human body. In the acupuncture of ancient origin strictlY lim-ited areas of the human body are pierced by needles of various metals to produce therebY certain desired re-sults. However, in order to avoid as much as Possible 15 irritation of the tissue, ParticuTarlY infections at the iercing points, the needles should remain inserted into ~ the tissue for only short periods. ActuallY, dePending b on the method of treatment and the condition to be treatedt the desired effects occur PracticallY as soon as 20 the tissue is Pierced so that the needles do not need to remain inserted over extended periods. However, if the desired effect does not occur immediatelY, the needles must remain inserted for some time with a concomitant in-creased risk, Particularly of infections. EsPecially in 25 order to avoid the disadvantage and to simplify the acupuncture procedure altogether and, in anY case, to i' ~ ~.

2 Case T94 rnake it unbloody, treatment of acupuncture points and -lines bY electroacuPuncture has been developed wherein the acupuncture points and -lines are stimulated bY elec-tric potentials or currents. In this procedure,the human body is generally connected to one pole of an electric current source while an acupuncture specialist places the oPposite pole onto an acupuncture Point. With this pro-cedure, the poles of the electric current source can re-~ main in contact with the body for an extended period of time.
Il According to the classic acupuncture teachings j which were handed down from Asia, acupuncture Points and -lines are considered to be distributed over the whole body surface. A special acuPUncture methodology however 15 is concerned specificallY with the acupuncture Points on the outer ear since, in accordance with the teachinqs of this methodology, the outer ear contains acuPuncture oints for any of the bodY organs considered to have cor-responding acuPunctUre Points. This so-called ear 20 acupuncture also utilizes invasive techniques, that is, needle piercing of the outer ear, as well as the applica-tion of electric currents.
The acupuncture method learned particularly from Asia a long time ago also utilizes crystals wherein , 25 different types of crYstals are placed onto predetermined ! acupuncture Points. A scientific explanation is not of-fered, but in anY case, experience shows that certain re-sults can indeed be achieved. However, the influence of the forces the crystals are believed to exert on the 30 acupuncture Points follow other laws, that is, other con-ditions must be met than in connection with the elec-troacupuncture. For electroacupuncture an electrical connection with the acuPuncture tissue must be estab-lished so that a current can flow. The "forces" of the 35 crystals however are independent of the conductivity of the tissue. On the other hand,the tissue must be exPosed to these "forcesl' over extended periods of time since 21~9~6~9 3 Case T94 these "forces", believed to emanate from the crYstals.
are indeed very small. Furthermore, in order to render these small forces as effective as Possible. the crYstals should be Positioned directly on the skin and as close as possible to the acuPuncture points.
It is the obiect of the present invention to provide an arrangement which permits exposure of the acupuncture points and -lines of the outer ear to the forces enamating from crystals over an extended Period of 1û time and in an aestheticallY attractive manner.

4 Case T94 vided with ball-shaPed crystals. Also a plurality of ball-shaped crystals may be provided in a cluster at least at one of the ends of the oPen-ended ring which are arranged so as to be disposed along a sphere so as to be well received in the outer ear cavitY. It has been found in accordance with the handed-down acuPuncture l teachings that the use of different types of crystals is j most effective for stimulation of the acuPuncture points.
` With the arrangement according to the invention it is easily Possible to provide different crystals at the oP-I' Posite ends of the open-ended ring or to provide differ-'' ent tYPes of crystals in a cluster. These crystals are, again in accordance with the old teachings, preferablY of the isometric (cubic) or hexagonal lattice system. The use of hematite, also known as "red mine stone", has been found particularly advantageous; but also the use of the . month stones has been found suitable, that is, toPaz, ~ chrysopal, hyacinth, amethyst, jasPer, saPphire. emerald, s chalcedony, carnelian, sardonyx, chrysolite, aquamarine or beryl or also the stones assigned to the various ~! sPecies of animals such as red carnelian, rose quartz, :~ tiger eye, mountain crYstal, Yellow agate, malachite, ~, chalcedonY, onyx, turquoise and amethyst.
In anY case the arrangement according to the invention provides for good contact of the crystals with the tissue of the outer ear and for exPosure of the acupuncture Points of the outer ear to the crystal,s for extended Periods of time and at the same time is attrac-tive in aPPearance.
