Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an acupressure point device which is held between each finger or toe.

[Conventional technology]

Numerous nerves are concentrated in each finger and toe,
Many studies have recently been published on stimulating the ``acupoints'' on the fingers and toes, and it is known that the fingers and toes have a very deep relationship with internal organs, each muscle of the body, and the brain. It has become like that.
In other words, it is said that the fingers and toes are mirrors that reflect the state of the body's health, and that it is possible to detect physical ailments by looking at the hands and feet. Therefore, stimulating the fingers and toes cures internal organ dysfunction, activates the activity of the brain and other organs of the body, and is extremely effective in maintaining long-term health.

To explain further, a large number of nerves are concentrated in the fingers and toes, and stimulating these nerves is known to have excellent effects in curing internal organs diseases and preventing aging. In other words, by stimulating the fingers and toes, the "muscle spindles" (sensory organs) in the muscles of the fingers become active, which shakes the brain and stimulates the perceptual power of the skin and kinesthetic sense. Many psychologists and cerebral physiologists agree that this increases the

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

Although it is known from the above that stimulating pressure points on the hands and toes is good, there has been no suitable acupressure device that can be inserted between the hands and feet to stimulate pressure points. .

From the above point of view, the present inventor has conducted various studies and has proposed an acupressure device that is inserted between the fingers and toes to stimulate acupuncture points. For example, it is known that there is a pressure point called "Great Atsushi" between the big toe and the second toe, and stimulating this "Great Atsushi" has the effect of suppressing sleepiness. In other words, there are muscles in the legs that move according to instructions from the brain (phasic muscles) and muscles that maintain posture, and by stimulating the muscles that maintain this posture (tension muscles) and sending wakefulness signals to the brain, sleepiness is reduced. You can.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, the acupuncture point acupressure device for fingers and toes according to the present invention has a circular cross section perpendicular to the axis, has a thickness and length suitable for being held between each toe of the hand or toe, and has an intermediate portion. The acupressure instrument body is made thin, and both ends gradually swell from the middle part, and both ends are configured symmetrically around the middle part. It is characterized by having a large number of protrusions that provide stimulation.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the figure, 1 is the acupressure device itself, and its outer periphery has a pyramid shape (this is called a pyramid shape).
It has many pointed protrusions 2, 2. This acupressure device main body 1 has a circular cross section perpendicular to its axis, and has a thickness and length suitable for being held between the fingers of the hand 7 or between the fingers of the foot 6, and has an intermediate portion. It is thin and inflated so that both ends become gradually thicker, and both ends are configured symmetrically around the middle part, so that it can be stably held between the fingers of the hand 7 and the toe 6.

The acupressure device body 1 is made of plastic, for example, into a hollow shape, and both ends are closed with cover plates 4, 4.
A shaft body 5 such as a permanent magnet or a metal rod is housed inside. When the shaft body 5 is made of a permanent magnet, its magnetic effect improves blood circulation in the limbs, and together with stimulation of acupuncture points, it is even more effective in promoting health.
When a metal rod is used, there is no magnetic effect, but an appropriate weight can be applied to the acupressure device main body 1, and the protrusions 2 can stably stimulate pressure points on the hands and feet. Further, the one lid plate 4 is provided with a head 3 for stimulating acupoints.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, when a person sits on a chair and holds the acupressure device main body 1 of the present invention between the fingers of the hands 7 and feet 6 and presses them appropriately, the shiatsu massager body 1 is applied to the fingers and toes 6. It can stimulate the acupuncture points of the nerves. Rather than stimulating the fingers of the hand 7, it is very effective for training and strengthening the fingers of people who use their fingers, such as pianists, typists, and computer operators. Also, hold the shiatsu device body 1 between the big toe and index finger of the foot 6,
By stimulating the nerve called "Great Atsushi," it wakes you up and makes you feel refreshed, so it is effective for test takers and people who stay up late at night.

In addition to the shape shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the acupressure device main body 1 is, for example, the shape of the acupressure device main body 1a shown in FIG. It may be stably sandwiched between the two. In addition, although the figure shows a state in which one acupressure device body 1 is held between each finger of both hands and both feet, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also very effective to apply acupressure while holding the area. Furthermore, the acupressure device main body 1 can be grasped with the hand and the acupressure point stimulating head 3 provided on the cover plate 4 can be pressed against the acupuncture points on the palm or belly of the hand to stimulate the acupuncture points.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the acupressure device of the present invention, the acupressure device body can be stably held between the fingers and toes, and the numerous protrusions on the outer periphery stimulate the acupuncture points of the fingers and toes to improve health. It has a remarkable effect on awaking drowsiness in test takers, strengthening training of fingertips and recovering from fatigue in typists, pianists, etc.
