Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a material for treating a living body through an acupoint and a treatment sheet to which the material is fixed.

Various energy phenomena occur inside and outside the human body.
It is known that there is a path (meridian) through which the body energy "ki" flows in the body, and the acupuncture points (pots) serve as entrances and exits of the ki. It has also been clarified that the electric resistance of the flow and acupuncture points is smaller than that of the other parts, and that the electric current flows more easily.
Further, the flow of a weak current through the living body means that a magnetic field is formed in the body.
In recent years, oriental medicine has stated that poor physical condition such as stiff shoulders, back pain, swelling, dysbiosis, irregular menstruation, insomnia, and high blood pressure is caused by an impaired qi balance and impaired qi flow. The electrical resistance at the acupoints increases, the potential difference of the weak current increases, and the magnetic field formed accordingly changes.

In Oriental medicine, treatment is performed based on the idea of enhancing the natural healing power of humans by making the acupuncture points function smoothly and the ingress and egress of bioenergy, and the following treatment methods are employed.
In general, treatments that promote the blood flow and restore the balance of acupuncture points by applying physical stimulation to the acupuncture points and their vicinity by tension, moxibustion, massage, etc. have been performed for a long time. This is a remarkable fact.
However, this treatment requires a practitioner, and there is a disadvantage that simple treatment cannot be performed alone.
Small stiffeners and magnets stuck to adhesive plasters are also stuck to acupuncture points and their vicinity.However, these stiffeners cannot reach deeper areas. It is difficult to greatly restore the flow.

Secondly, there is a treatment to deliver "ki" as bioenergy into the body through an acupuncture point. Using tools that fix the ceramic that emits the same wave as the air sent to the acupuncture point by the Qigong teacher on the concave curved surface of the container-shaped molded product, or a bandage with the ceramic attached to the acupuncture point, use the wave of far infrared rays etc. It has been proposed to act on the autonomic nerve, sympathetic nerve, and parasympathetic nerve to promote a rise in body temperature, to promote the flow of bioenergy, and to enhance the natural healing power (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
In order to utilize the far-infrared wave of ceramics used in this treatment, it is necessary to arrange them in a special container so that a large surface area can be formed by the ceramics themselves, and to contact them with acupoints. There is a disadvantage that the treatment cannot be performed, and when ceramics adhered to an adhesive bandage are used, there is a disadvantage that large ceramics must be adhered because the surface area is increased.

Third, a method has been proposed in which a conductive member is used to reduce the potential difference in the acupuncture point to reduce the resistance value in the acupuncture point where the function of the weak current flowing through the living body is reduced (see Patent Document 3). .
In this treatment, the shape of the conductive metal is unstable, such as a coil or sheep intestine, which is curved with rounded edges, so that the air is dispersed and taken up into the body. However, there is a problem in that the metal member becomes large, and when the metal member is adhered to the body, as in the case of the ceramics described above, a crack occurs and the movement of the body is hindered.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a material and a treatment sheet for treating a living body through acupoints, which can amplify qi even if it is small, so that it can be taken in efficiently.

The first technical means for solving this technical problem relates to a therapeutic material, in which a plurality of loops are formed by a single conductive metal wire, and each loop is radially formed on the same plane. That is, they are almost evenly arranged.
The second technical means relates to a treatment sheet, wherein one or more treatment materials according to claim 1 are attached to a sheet having an adhesive layer. The third technical means is that the therapeutic material is fixed to the outside of the adhesive layer in this therapeutic sheet, and the fourth technical means is that the therapeutic material is fixed to the sheet body, Is provided with an adhesive layer.
The fifth technical means is a treatment sheet in which a treatment material is positioned and attached between two sheets, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated outside one of the sheets.

In the first technical means, since the plurality of loops formed by the metal wires are arranged almost uniformly in the radial direction on the same plane, the center of each loop is substantially aligned on the circumference of the imaginary circle. Become. Adjacent loops are in contact with each other or have substantially equal intervals, so that a geometrically stable form is obtained, and a small thin piece can be formed.
A lot of energy is generated from a material made of a metal wire having a stable shape. If this material is brought into contact with or close to the acupoint or its vicinity, the generated air is amplified and sent to the acupoint.

  In addition, since the metal wire has conductivity, it acts on the weak current of the living body and receives a weak magnetic force, so the electric resistance at the acupoint is reduced, the flow is smooth, and the magnetic field in the body is stabilized. And restore the energy balance in the body.

As the metal wire, it is preferable to use alloys such as stainless steel 304, 403, and 430, iron, and further, gold, platinum, silver, zinc, tin, palladium, titanium, copper and alloys composed of these metals. it can. If rust is expected to occur on the metal, it is desirable to perform plating.
Since qi works through fibers, the therapeutic material according to the present invention can be used by being brought into contact with the body surface or by attaching it to a belly band or underwear by means of sewing or the like.

In the second technical means, when one or two or more therapeutic materials are attached to a sheet having an adhesive layer, the sheet can be easily used by directly attaching the sheet to the body or attaching it to clothes. . When a plurality of therapeutic materials are fixed, even if the position of the acupuncture points does not match the position of this material, the materials can be reliably positioned near the acupuncture points, so there is no hindrance to the ingestion of qi .
In this treatment sheet, in the third technical means, the treatment material is fixed to the outside of the adhesive layer on the sheet body. Obtainable. Further, in the fourth technical means, the therapeutic material is fixed to the sheet body, and the adhesive layer is provided on the outside thereof. Therefore, even if the adhesive layer is removed, the therapeutic material does not come off, and the adhesive strength is not increased. There is an advantage that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a reduced value can be replaced.

  Further, in the fifth technical means, the treatment material is attached between the two sheets, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated on the outside of one of the sheets, so that the treatment material The adhesive portion and the adhesive layer can be completely independent of each other, and in this case also, there is an advantage that the adhesive layer having reduced adhesive strength can be replaced.

  As the sheet body, a plastic film, a thin rubber sheet, a rubber cloth, a cloth, a nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used. The therapeutic material can be easily fixed by using an adhesive for these sheet members. In the case of a knitted or woven fabric, a therapeutic material may be stitched and attached.

If the adhesive layer in this treatment sheet is exchangeable and laminated on the sheet body, the adhesive with weak adhesion can be easily replaced, so that the treatment material always exerts strong adhesion. The treatment sheet can be used semi-permanently.
As the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet or a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be selectively used, in addition to being formed by coating on a sheet body. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be provided on all or a part of the surface of the sheet body according to the use site of the treatment sheet and the state of the adhered portion.

  Even if it is small, it can amplify qi and take it in efficiently, and as a result, there is an advantage that the balance of qi can be restored early and the natural healing power can be enhanced.
