[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an acupressure rod that alleviates body fatigue, pain, etc. by enabling both acupressure that stimulates the so-called acupuncture point of the body and massage that massages the affected part of the body.

[0002]

[Background of device]

 For the purpose of relieving body fatigue, pain, etc., a therapy that stimulates the acupuncture points of the body has long been known. In other words, acupressure that gives stimulation by pushing the pot of the body with fingertips, moxibustion therapy that heats the pot by placing the gussa on the pot of the body and burning the gusset, and acupuncture that stimulates the pot with a needle. It has been known. Among the therapies that stimulate the acupuncture point, acupressure, in particular, is often used in daily life because, unlike moxibustion therapy and acupuncture, even if the therapy is mistaken, it is not important.

However, even with such acupressure, it is very difficult for a general person to realize a treatment close to that of a specialist. The reason for this is that the essential point of shiatsu is to treat each part of the body with a certain intensity for a certain period of time, and it is surprisingly difficult for ordinary people to perform this effectively. Therefore, there are attempts to do this through various instruments when applying acupressure. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of such a device. This device is made of rod-shaped wood with a circular cross section. The left and right thicknesses are different as shown in the figure, and each tip has a hemispherical shape. Is formed. To acupressure the body pot with this device, grasp the center part of the device and press either of the stimulators at the left and right ends against the body pot, or tap the pot with the stimulator to place it on the body pot. Try to stimulate. This equipment uses a small stimulator to provide strong irritation to the acupuncture points where the skin such as the soles of the feet is hard and relatively strong irritation is required. It is possible to select the stimulus to be given depending on the pot of the body, such as giving appropriate stimulus to the department.

On the other hand, in addition to the therapy for relieving fatigue and pain of the body by stimulating the acupuncture points of the body like the above-mentioned acupressure, the affected area of the body is rubbed or the skin surface of the affected area is widely rubbed. Massage therapy, which promotes blood circulation in the skin and relieves body fatigue and pain, has also been performed for a long time. As with the above-mentioned acupressure, even if this massage therapy is mistaken, it will not be important, so using this massage therapy in combination with the above-mentioned acupressure will more effectively relieve body fatigue and pain. I often do it.

However, the device shown in FIG. 8 has the following problems. That is, since the device shown in FIG. 8 is formed to stimulate the pot of the body, massage the body by rubbing the affected part of the body or rubbing the skin surface of the affected part. I can't.
