Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial field of application The present invention is applied to the palm, the sole of the foot, and other surface parts of the human body, and emits far-infrared rays to heat the part while warming the body and mind. The present invention relates to a far-infrared radiating element for relaxing, putting the brain in an alpha wave generating state, eliminating mental and physical fatigue, and improving learning and work efficiency.

2. Description of the Related Art As a result of brain wave research to date, it has been clarified that there are four kinds of human brain waves, namely, alpha waves, beta waves, theta waves, and delta waves. 8 of these brain waves
Alpha waves with a frequency of ~ 14Hz occur when human consciousness is concentrated and brain activity is active, and when the mind and body are relaxed, such as in the meditation state of Zazen.

Based on this fact, conversely, the brain is actively put into an alpha wave generating state, brain activity is activated, work and learning efficiency are improved, and the mind and body are relaxed and stress is relieved. Various methods and devices have been devised to maintain the health of humans.

For example, there is a method called alpha training method. With this training method, when the mind and body relax, and when the brain becomes in a state where alpha waves are generated, capillaries expand and blood circulation improves, and the temperature of various parts of the human body such as the palm and sole of the foot rises, feeling warm. It is an application of the fact that it comes. That is, while deeply breathing, the tension and relaxation of each part of the body are consciously repeated so that warmth is felt in the part, the mind and body are relaxed, and the brain activity is activated at the same time.

Also, what is called a biofeedback device has been developed. This device is a device that actually measures brain waves and, when alpha waves are detected with a certain strength, converts them into perceptible signals such as sound and light and informs them. Is used in combination with the training method to put the brain into the alpha wave generation state described above, and while receiving the signal from the biofeedback device, it senses the alpha wave generation state by itself, and the brain is in the alpha wave generation state by itself. It allows you to go.

However, conventional devices of this type including a biofeedback device have a complicated structure and are expensive,
Moreover, it was not easy to use.

In view of the above points, the present invention effectively heats each part of the human body surface by radiating far infrared rays, relaxes the mind and body, puts the brain in an alpha wave generation state, relieves mind and body fatigue, and learns. Another object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized far-infrared radiating element which can improve work efficiency and which can be easily used.

In order to achieve the above object, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the structure of the present invention is formed from high-purity fused silica, and is in contact with the palm, sole of the foot, and other surface parts of the human body. It has a rounded shape as a whole, has no protrusions or corners that substantially stimulate the skin, is molded into a three-dimensional shape with its outer surface roughened, and emits far infrared rays. The far-infrared radiating element is characterized by being

Action In the above configuration, the high-purity fused silica has a strong thermal action and transmits far-infrared rays that penetrate deep into the human body, in particular, far-infrared rays having a wavelength of 9 microns, which are most easily absorbed by the human body, even at room temperature. It has been empirically shown to emit a large amount of radiation.

Moreover, by roughening the outer surface of the element, the emission area of far infrared rays increases, and at the same time, the far infrared rays emitted from the surface are diffusely reflected, so that the far infrared rays are uniformly emitted in all directions centering on the element. Is done.

In addition, each part of human skin has internal organs that are closely related to each other. For example, the palm is closely related to the cerebrum, and the sole of the foot is closely related to the heart.

Therefore, if this element is grasped and used in the palm of the hand, the relevant portion is efficiently warmed, and the stimulation causes
Further, the capillaries expand to improve blood circulation and relax the mind and body, so that the activity of the cerebrum becomes active and the brain becomes in a state of generating alpha waves.

At this time, if the body is deeply breathing and the power is removed from the body, the warmth is focused and the self-implication that the mind and body are relaxed is strengthened.

Also, when using it by stepping on the element with the sole of the foot,
The part is effectively heated, the mind and body are also relaxed, the same action as described above occurs, and the heart can be positively affected.

Further, even if this element is simply applied to a portion of the human body where fatigue, low back pain, neuralgia, etc. occur, the fatigue or pain of that portion can be eliminated by the heating effect of the far infrared rays.

Embodiment The attached drawings show one embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the far infrared radiating element (1) according to the present invention is formed from high-purity fused silica obtained by manufacturing a fiber optics by a vapor phase method and having impurities removed up to a concentration of 1PPB. It was done. The high-purity fused silica has a curved convex convex sloped end surfaces (2) and (2 ') having an inclination of about 70 degrees and a diameter of about 2c.
The outer surface (3) is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a length of m and a length of about 4 cm. It is processed so as to have a rough surface. By molding in such a shape, the element according to the present invention can be easily applied to the surface part of the human body, such as being easily grasped in the palm and used by stepping on the sole of the foot.

In the far infrared radiating element (1) configured as described above, the high-purity fused silica has a strong thermal action and transmits far infrared rays that penetrates deep into the human body, particularly, 9 micron which is most easily absorbed by the human body. It has been experimentally revealed that far infrared rays having a wavelength are radiated in large quantities at room temperature.
Further, since the outer surface (3) is roughened, the radiation area of far infrared rays is increased, and at the same time, the far infrared rays emitted from the surface of the element (1) are diffusely reflected, so that the element (1) is centered. As a result, far infrared rays are uniformly emitted in all directions.

Further, each part of the human skin has an organ inside the human body which is closely related to each other. For example, the palm is closely related to the cerebrum and the sole of the foot is closely related to the heart.

Therefore, when the element (1) is held in the palm, the palm is effectively warmed, and the stimulation stimulates the activity of the cerebrum, and the capillaries expand to improve blood circulation and relax the mind and body. Becomes active and the brain becomes in a state of generating alpha waves. At this time, the above-mentioned action is further strengthened by taking a deep breath and removing the power from the body, concentrating consciousness on this warmth, and providing self-indication that the mind and body are relaxed.

By maintaining this state for an appropriate period of time, stress can be relieved and physical and mental health can be maintained. Also, if work and learning are performed in this state, brain activity becomes active, so memory capacity increases. However, the ability to concentrate, the sharpness of kang hirameki, and the efficiency of work and learning increase.

When this element (1) is used by stepping on the sole of the foot, the part is effectively warmed, the mind and body are relaxed, and the same effect as when applied to the palm is obtained. In addition to this, it can have a positive effect on the heart, and further, the physical and mental fatigue can be removed by the acupressure effect. Further, the element (1) is attached to the body by sandwiching the element (1) in the belt portion of the pants, or the element (1) is attached to a string or belt, and the element (1) is attached to the body skin through the string or belt. It is also possible to use it by mounting it so that it contacts the part.

In addition, due to the heating effect of far infrared rays of this element (1),
By directly heating the part of the human body that causes fatigue, low back pain, neuralgia, etc., relieves fatigue and pain in that part,
Or it can be resolved.

Effects of the Invention As described above, since the far-infrared radiation element according to the present invention has a shape that can be easily applied to the surface part of the human body, for example, it is used by grasping it in the palm and stepping on the sole of the foot. It can be used easily, and the part can be effectively heated by far infrared rays.

Then, for example, when this element is grasped and used in the palm, the mind and body are relaxed and the brain is in the alpha wave generation state. By maintaining this state for an appropriate period of time, you can calm your mind, get upset in front of you, relieve stress, and maintain your mental and physical health. Is active, so that concentration can be increased, memory can be increased, fluttering cans can be sharpened, and work and learning efficiency can be improved. Further, when this element is used by stepping on the sole of the foot, in addition to the above-mentioned effect, the acupressure effect can be produced and the heart can be favorably influenced.

Further, by heating the portion of the human body where fatigue, low back pain, neuralgia, etc. are caused by the heating effect of far infrared rays of this element, the fatigue and pain of that portion can be alleviated or eliminated.
