Abstract

Pair of soles in contact with the foot, characterised in that the sole facing the left foot comprises a permanent magnet 2 arranged at a point 7 corresponding to the gastric plexus and in that, moreover, each sole includes a permanent magnet arranged at the point 5, 6 corresponding both to the inner ear and the vertebro-basilar circulation. Application to magnetic soles for combating motion sickness.

Description

 The present invention relates to shoe soles in contact with the foot.

 We know that the soles play an important role in the state of health of their user and we know many types of soles intended to correct such or such definite ailments, in particular physical deformities (arch of the foot for example). On the other hand, there are no commercially available clean soles to avoid or minimize more complex ailments, in particular deregulations such as motion sickness, and more particularly seasickness Motion sickness is due to a delay in adaptation to positions and body movements. Patients can be treated conventionally and / or with acupuncture 9 using appropriate needles. Studies by the inventor have shown that treatment with. acupuncture is effective and can be done preventively by improving the vertebrobasilar and carotid circulation, and by improving the irrigation of the inner ear and the gastric plexus, but the improvement is short-lived .

A curative treatment is also possible, but in the case of seasickness, it is necessary the presence of a doctor (not sick) on the boat 9 side of the patient. Permanent treatment is therefore desirable, without the presence of the said doctor.

To obtain this result, the inventor & developed a pair of soles characterized in that they are provided with small permanent magnets replacing the needles of the acupuncturist and that the sole, facing the left foot, has a permanent magnet placed has a point corresponding to the gastric plexus and that, in addition, each sole has a permanent magnet disposed at the point corresponding both to the inner ear and to the vertebrobasilar circulation. These points have been well known since the Buddhist tradition in India and
Japan, and they appear on podopuncture maps, especially of Bossy.

 The magnets are made up of small diameter pellets with high polarity, the north pole facing the skin. The magnets are incorporated in the sole and invisible from the outside and stimulate the aforementioned points.

To better understand the invention, an exemplary embodiment is given below with reference to the appended figures in which
Fig. 1 represents a pair of insoles,
Fig. 2 is a section along II-II of FIG. 1.

 Each sole consists of a cork core 1 of the thickness of the magnet 2 in which the space necessary for this magnet is hollowed out with a punch. This core 1 is covered above and below in different ways depending on the use, using a material 3 as thin as possible and allowing the magnetic flux to pass through well. The lower layer 4 can be conventional or not.

 In Fig. 1 the references 5, 6, 7 designate the locations of the magnets. The magnets 5 and 6 are symmetrical and correspond in particular to the control point of the two internal ears, and for the left foot there is also a magnet 7 at the location of the point corresponding to the gastric plexus.

 From a practical point of view, to cut the friend from the right place, we use a unit depending on the size. Thus, if the width of the foot is worth five units and the length (excluding the toe) ten units, points 5 and 6 are identified by the formula 2.5 L x 1 l, and point 7 by the formula: 4.5 E x 3.3 1.

All types of soles can adopt this principle which can even be applied to the manufacture of shoes or boots for specific use. Indeed, there is no disadvantage known hitherto in the wearing of magnets against the skin for a prolonged period. The experiments made with the semlles according to the invention have given good results, which can be explained as follows - permanent magnets of great power (1,500 to 1,800
gauss) replace acupuncture needles. We can
use, for example, magnets sold under the brand
"EPOREC 1500" having as dimensions 5 x 2 mm, - the bodily points to be stimulated to overcome the pain of
sea are replaced by their counterparts at the plan level
toes, and have been defined above, - the soles are worn as desired by the user
both preventively and curatively.

 Although the incorporation of the three aforementioned magnets into a pair of insoles is sufficient to avoid or minimize seasickness, it is still possible to add one or more other magnets to treat other symptoms without departing from the scope of the invention. 'invention.
