Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates primarily to a magnetic ring used for alleviating or treating symptoms such as stiff shoulders, shoulder pain, and lower back pain.

[Prior Art] Magnetic therapy devices that use magnetic lines of force generated by a magnetic member as treatment means include, for example, magnetic rings, necklaces made of magnetic materials connected in a chain, or arm bands embedded with magnets.
It is already known to attach magnetic pieces to abdominal belts, pillows, sandals, or adhesive pads.

The principle of this type of magnetic therapy device is that magnetic lines of force generated from a magnetic member cause electromagnetic induction phenomena in tissues within the body, changing the distribution of ions and charged substances, thereby improving blood circulation and nerves. It promotes the functioning of the human body's organs and restores their functions by producing some kind of effect on the human body, and is medically recognized to be effective in alleviating stiff shoulders, pain, etc. (Notification from the Director-General of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Pharmaceutical Affairs No. 763).

In Oriental medicine, acupuncture points (commonly called ``acupoints'') are located on the surface tissues of the body and extremities, and ``acupoints'' that connect them are
It is believed that there are circulation paths called meridians, through which energy called qi flows. Meridian-based acupuncture therapy has been practiced for a long time to treat stiff shoulders and other medical conditions by inserting needles or applying moxibustion near or in contact with these acupuncture points and meridians to adjust the 1 qi. One of the important ideas in the treatment method of Oriental medicine is that the flow of ``Qi'' through the meridians is the dorsal side of the body and limbs (this area is called ``Yang'' in Oriental medicine) and the ventral side (this area is called ``Yang'' in Oriental medicine). There is a theory that the direction of the yin meridian is exactly opposite to that of the yin meridian, and that the yang meridian is descending and the yin meridian is ascending. In many cases, the therapeutic effect is high when the north pole face of the magnet approaches the upstream side and the south pole face approaches the downstream side along this flow of air.
This has been confirmed through clinical experiments (Yoshio Manaka, [Introductory Course on Acupuncture for Physicians] (August 1980), Ido Nihonsha Publishing P, 346-350). If acupuncture points and meridians are considered as a type of nervous tissue, it can be thought that the magnetic flux generated from the magnet acts on the nerves, resulting in the therapeutic effects described above.

However, the commonly used adhesive magnetic therapy device cannot simultaneously apply a large magnetic field to the acupuncture points or meridians of both the Yin and Yang meridians.

In addition, magnetic rings are simply formed by forming iron or other metal into a ring shape and simply imparting magnetism to it, so it is possible to match the direction of the flow of the meridians of Yin and Yang with the direction of the magnetic lines of force generated from the ring. could not.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional magnetic therapy device.
It is possible to apply a large amount of magnetic field to both Yin and Yang meridians at the same time, and to ensure that the direction of each meridian and the direction of the magnetic field lines are always the same to accurately achieve the therapeutic purpose. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a magnetic ring for medical treatment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of various research into means to facilitate the meridian magnetic treatment method using a magnetic ring and to accurately achieve the therapeutic purpose. It is something that That is, the magnetic ring of the present invention has one side as the north pole and one side as the north pole.
It consists of a pair of semicircular magnetic members with the other side magnetized to the south pole, with the north pole face of one member and the south pole face of the other member facing in the same direction. This is made by combining both magnetic members in an annular shape.

When the magnetic ring configured in this way is worn on the wrist or ankle like a hand holder or foot holder, it can apply strong magnetic flux to both Yin and Yang at the same time.
At this time, if the direction of the magnetic lines of force of one magnetic member is made to match the direction of the meridians of either Yin or Yang, the direction of the lines of magnetic force of the other magnetic member will also automatically match the direction of the other meridian.

[Example] Hereinafter, the configuration and usage mode of the present invention will be explained based on the example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a therapeutic magnetic ring according to the present invention;
The figure is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing one state of use.

As shown in Fig. 1.2, the therapeutic magnetic ring 1 of the present invention
is formed from a pair of semicircular magnetic members 2 and 3. One surface of this semicircular magnetic member 2.3, that is, one surface perpendicular to the axial plane, is magnetized as a north pole, and the opposite surface is magnetized as a south pole. Both ends of both members 2.3 are brought into contact with each other so that the N-pole surface of one semicircular magnetic member 2 and the S-pole surface of the other semicircular magnetic member 3 thus configured face in the same direction. They are combined in a ring shape. In this way, as shown in FIG. 2, two types of magnetic fields are formed centered around the magnetic members 2 and 3, and the therapeutic magnetic ring 1 of the present invention is formed in which the directions of the lines of magnetic force are opposite to each other.

The magnetic ring 1 of the present invention can be easily manufactured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, a magnetic material such as ferrite or rare earth cobalt is integrally molded into a cylindrical shape, and then one end thereof is magnetized as an N pole and the other end as an S pole.

Next, the cylindrical body 4 is sliced to a desired thickness to form an annular magnetic body 5 as shown in FIG. The semicircular magnetic members 2 and 3 used are obtained. As is well known, magnets are
Since like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other, the present invention can be achieved by turning over one of the semicircular members 2 and 3 formed by dividing the annular magnetic body 5 into two and combining them into a ring shape. The therapeutic magnetic ring 1 can be easily obtained.

In addition, when the magnetic ring 1 of the present invention is worn on the human body, exposing the metal surface as it is is not comfortable to wear and is not desirable for safety, so it is preferable to use a flexible material such as cloth, leather, or vinyl leather. Semi-circular magnetic member 2 made of magnetic material 6
It is possible to cover 3 and 3. Further, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that a string 7 is attached to one end of the magnetic members 2 and 3 to connect the two, so as to prevent the two members 2 and 3 from dissipating.

The therapeutic magnetic ring 1 of the present invention constructed as described above is used by being worn, for example, on the wrist, ankle, or knee, or in the vicinity thereof, like a hand holder or foot holder, as shown in FIG. That is, the ring 1 is divided into two, each magnetic member 2 and 3 is brought into contact with or close to the acupuncture point or meridian of the joint, and then both ends of each magnetic member are used to utilize their own magnetic force. and join it in a ring. that time,
One of the magnetic members 3 is brought into contact with the positive meridian so that the direction of the magnetic lines of force and the flow direction of the positive meridian are aligned. In this way, the magnetic member 2 to be used approaches or comes into contact with the Yin meridian, and the direction of the magnetic lines of force and the flow direction of the Yin meridian automatically match.

Therefore, a strong magnetic field of equal magnitude and in the necessary direction can be applied to both the yin and yang ridges, and as a result, changes occur in blood flow, autonomic nerves, etc., and more favorable therapeutic effects can be obtained. Next, examples of the present invention and examples of clinical experiments thereof will be given.

Example 1 Outer diameter 10CIIl, inner diameter 6.5cm, wall thickness 1.8C1l
After forming a ring-shaped ferrite magnet (ring-shaped magnetic body 5) with a weight of 300 g (1) and a surface magnetic flux density of 500 gauss as shown in Figure 4B, this ring-shaped magnetic body is cut at the center to form a magnetic field as shown in Figure 1. A ring was made. For safety, each of the semicircular magnetic members was covered with gauze and a bandage and connected with a string.

Experimental Example 1 Two sets of the rings of Example 1 were used by fitting them into the ankle joint and the contralateral wrist joint of a test subject who had symptoms of "low back pain." The treatment results were as follows: 31 subjects had sex a total of 58 times for 10 minutes each; effective cases where the pain disappeared; 39 times (67%) moderately effective cases where the pain became lighter; 16 times (28χ) non-effective cases.
3 times (5%).

Experimental Example 2 Two sets of the rings of Example 1 were used by fitting them onto the ankle and wrist joints on the same side as the affected area of a test subject complaining of "stiff shoulders." 54
The results of the treatment, which was performed on a total of 84 subjects for 10 minutes each, were: effective when the muscle tension in the upper part of the scapulae was reduced, and moderately effective when the muscle tension was slightly reduced.44 cases (52%) Valid example: 24 times (28%) invalid
16 times (20%).

Example 2 Outer diameter 21.5C11, inner diameter 11C-1, wall thickness 2.5cm, weight 350011.

An annular ferrite magnet (annular magnetic body 5) having a surface magnetic flux density of 750 Gauss was cut at the center and inverted to create a magnetic ring of the present invention.

Experimental Example 3 The ring of Example 2 was used locally on the knee of a test subject with "knee disease" caused by trauma, deformity, polyarthritis rheumatoid arthritis, gout, etc. The treatment results for 52 cases (used for 10 minutes) were: excellent response in which swelling completely disappeared; 1 case (2%) effective case in which swelling was reduced; 7 cases (13%) moderately effective case in which swelling was slightly reduced. 27 cases (52%) Ineffective cases
There were 17 cases (33%).

Note that no side effects were observed on the gold side.

Incidentally, the magnetic ring of the above embodiment is formed to have a relatively small ring diameter in order to be worn on the extremities, but when it is worn on the neck or torso, the ring diameter is made larger. It is something.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the detailed description above, the therapeutic magnetic ring of the present invention strengthens the l1iI flow by bringing it into contact with or in close proximity to meridians and other areas of the human body, thereby preventing the recovery of the functions of the human body organs. , has the effect of reducing or treating pain. In particular, with the present invention, a large magnetic field can be applied simultaneously to both Yin and Yang meridians using one ring, and the direction of the flow of each meridian and the direction of the magnetic field lines generated from the ring can be made to coincide. It can enhance the therapeutic effect.
