Treat the patient by hitting with.
FIG. 2 shows the herb container 2 removed from the stake 3 and placed flat. FIG. 2(a) is a plan view, and FIG. 2(b) is a bottom view. FIG. 2(c) is a sectional view taken along the line AA′ in the plan view of FIG. 2(a). The herb container 2 of this embodiment is configured by connecting a circular bottom cloth 21 with two semicircular lid cloth pieces 22a and 22b. More specifically, the outer circular arc portions of the lid cloth pieces 22a and 22b are connected to the bottom cloth 21, and the straight outer peripheral portions of the lid cloth pieces 22a and 22b are not connected to each other and are not connected to the bottom cloth 21. Not yet. The straight outer peripheral portions of the lid cloth pieces 22a and 22b are both open ends.

That is, the herb storage body 2 has a double structure where the bottom cloth 21 and the lid cloth pieces 22a and 22b overlap, and this becomes a pocket in which the herbs 6 can be stored. Furthermore, the herb container 2 has an opening 23 in the center, through which the herb 6 can be taken in and taken out. Note that, as shown in FIG. 2(c), there is a slight overlap between the lid cloth piece 22a and the lid cloth piece 22b that form the opening 23, and this prevents the housed herb 6 from jumping out. suppress.
The bottom cloth 21 and the lid cloth pieces 21a, 21b may be made of the same material, or the lid cloth pieces 21a, 21b that come into contact with the patient's body are made of a material that is thicker than the bottom cloth 21 ( Quilting material, etc.) may be used. Furthermore, the bottom cloth 21 may be made of polyurethane, sponge, cushioning material, or the like to function as a cushioning material. This makes it possible to reduce the pain and fear associated with the procedure.

The fixing tool 4 is sufficient as long as it can fix the herb container 2 and the stake 3 while the stake 3 is enclosed in the herb container 2. By using the fixture 4, the skeletal vibration instrument 1 of this embodiment eliminates the need for a conventional cup member. Since the cup member needs to have a shape and size that match the stake, it is difficult for the practitioner to make it himself, and if the cup member comes off the stake, it is not easy to replace it. On the other hand, the skeletal vibration device 1 of this embodiment is suitable for use at home because the herb container 2 and the stake 3 can be easily fixed. Further, by using the string-like fixing device 4, it is possible to fix any shape of the stake without choosing the shape of the stake.
Next, a usage example of the skeletal vibration device 1, that is, a treatment method using the skeletal vibration device 1 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a first usage example of the skeletal vibration instrument 1. Here, in order to facilitate visual understanding, the herb container 2 is shown in a transparent state. As shown in the figure, in usage example 1, the herb container 2 and the stake 3 are fixed such that the opening 23 of the herb container 2 contacts the affected area. In this case, even when the herb container 2 and the stake 3 are fixed, it is possible to take the herbs 6 in and out from the opening 23.
The type of herbs 6 used in the treatment is not limited, and in addition to so-called medicinal herbs, tea leaves such as green tea may be used. Dried herbs or fresh herbs may be used. It is preferable to warm Herb 6 before treatment. This warms the affected area and promotes blood circulation in the affected area. The treatment is performed by hitting the end of the stake 3 with a mallet through the herb container 2 and the warmed herb 6 in this manner.
As mentioned above, the herb container 2 is made of cloth or nonwoven fabric and has numerous fine holes. When the practitioner hits one end of the stake 3 with a mallet 5, the herb 6 is crushed by the other end of the stake 3 inside the herb container 2. The crushed herbs 6 leak out from the grains of the herb container 2. This allows patients to enjoy the relaxing and refreshing effects of the herbal scent during the treatment.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a second usage example of the skeletal vibration instrument 1. Similar to FIG. 4, the herb container 2 is shown in a transparent state for easy visual understanding. As shown in the figure, in usage example 2, the opening 23 of the herb container 2 is on the stake 3 side. In this way, the herb container 2 and the stake 3 may be fixed so that the opening 23 is on the inside. In this case, although the herb 6 cannot be taken in and out in a fixed state, the herb 6 leaks out more slowly because the opening 23 does not come into contact with the patient.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a third usage example of the skeletal vibration instrument 1. Similar to FIG. 4, the herb container 2 is shown in a transparent state for easy visual understanding. As shown in the figure, in usage example 3, herb 7 is added to the state of usage example 2. An herb 7 is further added between the herb container 2 and the stake 3 and fixed with a fixture 4. In this way, it is also possible to add heated herbs 7 placed in an inner bag made of non-woven fabric between the herb container 2 and the stake 3 for treatment. By increasing the amount of herbs, the temperature will last for a long time, promoting blood circulation and increasing the relaxing effect. Furthermore, by changing the types of herbs used in herbs 6 and 7, the efficacy of multiple types of herbs can be obtained.
