BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor therapeutic agent used for treating muscle soreness, stiff shoulders, wrinkles, hair growth and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For the treatment of muscle soreness, stiff shoulders, etc., a semiconductor treatment device for fixing a semiconductor crystal such as germanium or silicon, a molded body of metal, ceramics or the like with a thin film of semiconductor to a skin by plaster or the like is available. It is used.

[0003]

However, in such a semiconductor therapeutic device, the difference in effect between the p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor was overlooked, and the shape of the semiconductor was not taken into consideration at all. was there. The present invention focuses on a difference in physiological action between a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor, and solves such a problem in a semiconductor therapeutic device. The therapeutic effect is good, and in addition to treatment of muscle pain, stiff shoulder, etc., It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor therapeutic agent that is effective for wrinkle removal, hair growth, etc. and can be used in an easily inconspicuous state.

It is generally recognized that when a semiconductor is brought into contact with the skin, the blood flow is increased by thermography or measurement using a laser speckle blood flow meter.
It is considered that if the blood flow is increased, the pain-causing substance and the fatigue substance accumulated in the capillaries are removed, so that muscle pain and stiffness are eliminated. Semiconductors include p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors. Taking silicon as an example, high-purity silicon is obtained.
Addition of a trace amount of III-valent element such as boron or aluminum results in an electron-deficient p-type semiconductor, and addition of a trace amount of V-valent element such as phosphorus or antimony results in an electron-excessive n-type semiconductor. p
When a powdery semiconductor of n-type and n-type was applied to the skin and a therapeutic test for muscle pain and the like was conducted, a remarkable effect was recognized for the p-type semiconductor. The n-type semiconductor may be effective depending on the site to which it is applied, but it may cause pain on the contrary, and is not suitable for therapeutic use. On the other hand, the p-type semiconductor is
The effect was observed in 80% or more of the whole, and there was no side effect of pain. Moreover, it has been found that the powdery p-type semiconductor can be used for wrinkle removal and hair growth, which have been difficult with conventional semiconductor therapeutic devices.

The present invention has been made on the basis of the above findings, and solves the above-mentioned problems by forming a semiconductor therapeutic agent with a p-type semiconductor capable of contacting the skin surface of the human body. As the p-type semiconductor, crystals, thin films, powders and the like can be used, but crystals are not suitable for practical use because of high material and molding costs. As the thin film, a silicon semiconductor thin film, a germanium semiconductor thin film, a gallium phosphide semiconductor thin film, a zinc sulfide semiconductor thin film, or the like is used. The thin film is ceramics,
It is formed on the surface of a molded body of plastic, glass, or metal, and produces a dielectric effect in addition to the effect as a p-type semiconductor.
When the thin film is formed on the surface of the molded body, the shape of the molded body is conical, hemispherical, convex, disk-shaped, ring-shaped, or crater-shaped, and has a diameter of 1 to 7 mm and a thickness of 0. .5
Select appropriately within 3 mm depending on the attachment site. A particularly preferable shape is a conical or convex shape having a diameter of 5 to 7 mm and a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 mm.

[0006] As the material of the molded body, moldability, durability,
Ceramics are often used because of the adhesiveness of the semiconductor thin film. When formed on the surface of ceramics, the far infrared effect is also synergistically added. Ceramics include alumina, magnesia, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, zircon oxide, iron oxide,
A single substance or a mixture of manganese oxide, tin oxide, antimony oxide, copper oxide, cobalt oxide, nickel oxide, silicon nitride and silicon carbide is preferable. However, a molded body of plastic, glass, metal or the like that can be easily molded may be used. The thin film is formed on the surface of the compact by vapor deposition, sputtering, CV.
Perform with D etc. Thus, the molded body coated with the thin film of the p-type semiconductor is brought into contact with acupoints and tender points of the human body by plasters and bands for treatment.

As the powdery p-type semiconductor, it is preferable to use silicon semiconductor powder, germanium semiconductor powder, gallium phosphide semiconductor powder, zinc sulfide semiconductor powder, or a mixture thereof. To the powdery p-type semiconductor, a pigment such as titanium oxide or iron oxide may be added to adjust the color to make it inconspicuous, and a far infrared effect can be added. Also,
It is easy to use if mixed with a cream, pack or hair restorer. The powdery p-type semiconductor may be used by adhering it to a medium such as cloth, plastic, or ceramics that can be attached to the skin.

Function: Normally, the front side of the human epidermis is negatively polarized and the back side is positively polarized, and there is a potential difference of several tens of millivolts, and when it becomes large, it causes pain. In the case of acupuncture, it is said that when an acupuncture needle is inserted under the skin, the front surface and the back surface of the skin are electrically short-circuited, so that the abnormal potential disappears and the pain disappears. p
When the shaped semiconductor is brought into contact with a part of the skin where an abnormal potential is generated, negative electric (electrons) are attracted and the abnormal potential on the surface is eliminated. When the abnormal potential on the surface is eliminated, the back potential, which is in a dielectric relationship between the epidermis, returns to normal, and the muscle pain associated with the abnormal potential is also eliminated. The p-type semiconductor that has absorbed the negative electricity discharges to the clothing or the like over time and returns to the original state. Since the n-type semiconductor has surplus electrons, it may promote an abnormal potential on the contrary, which may cause not only an unstable effect but also a pain.

Further, the p-type semiconductor increases and activates the blood flow inside the skin. For example, when measuring blood flow fluctuations in a painless place and a painful place with a laser speckle blood flow meter, the blood flow fluctuation has a distribution of 1 / f in the painless place, but the painful place The blood flow fluctuations of 1 are significantly shifted from 1 / f. However, when a molded body coated with a p-type semiconductor is attached to the acupuncture point at a painful place, the blood flow fluctuation approaches 1 / f, and it is recognized that the blood flow is normalized. Traditionally, packs and skin creams contain moisturizing dialsyl glycerol, vitamin C, E derivatives, etc., but if p-type semiconductor that increases blood flow inside skin and activates is added to these ingredients , Has a remarkable effect on wrinkle removal and hair growth.

Since the color of powdery p-type semiconductor is significantly different from the color of skin, it is unsightly when applied to the skin and causes a psychological obstacle during use, but harmless such as titanium oxide and red iron oxide. Color tones with different pigments reduce discomfort due to color.
