Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a skin-contact electrode body for low-frequency treatment equipment.

(1) In recent years, oriental medicine has been reacquainted and the Ryodoraku theory has been advocated, and various electrical therapy devices have been developed to exhibit extremely high therapeutic effects for motor nerve abnormalities, muscle abnormalities, paralysis, chronic pain, etc. It is well known that low-frequency treatment devices are one of the devices that have been developed and put into practical use.

(2) On the other hand, living organisms can be said to be aggregates of ultra-fine particles of electricity, and each part has a constant potential. It is known that an affected area of a living body caused by an inflammatory disease has an abnormal potential, and that if this abnormal potential is adjusted to normal, the disease can be cured.

(3) On the other hand, germanium is an atom with atomic number 32 and has 32 electrons, and has unique electronic properties not found in other electrons, making it a semiconductor.
In other words, out of the 32 electrons, some of the outermost four electrons may jump out depending on the environment, creating a potential pit, and the remaining electrons lose their balance and become stronger than the surroundings. It has the property of absorbing other electrons. It is well known that such electronic movements are used for electronic amplification (transistors) and rectification (diodes).

(4) Before completing the present invention, the inventor focused on the facts (2) and (3) above and thought that germanium metal might have some influence on the electrical potential of living organisms, Germanium metal can be used to treat stiff shoulders, neuralgia,
Many human clinical experiments have been conducted in which the product is used in contact with affected areas such as muscle pain and hemorrhoids, as well as acupuncture points called in Oriental medicine, and has been found to be effective in healing these conditions in an extremely short period of time, and to improve the complexion of the skin. discovered the surprising fact that it has the effect of eliminating cold hands and feet, activating gastrointestinal function, and increasing appetite (Special Publication No. 58-48186
issue).

(5) Therefore, the present inventor further focused on the facts (1) and (4) above, and found that when the low frequency current is passed through a living body through germanium metal, it has some effect on the potential etc. of the living body. We thought that the skin-contact electrode body of currently commercially available low-frequency treatment equipment may have germanium metal pieces attached to it, and low-frequency current is applied to each of the affected areas and areas mentioned in (4) above through the germanium metal pieces. After conducting many human clinical experiments in which electricity was applied to acupuncture points, the researchers discovered that this method was effective in a shorter period of time than in case (4) above.
Although the biochemical and electronic theories are still not clear, it can be inferred as follows.

In other words, germanium actively transfers electrons at around 36 degrees Celsius, but in the same way, if a piece of germanium metal is brought into contact with an affected area and a low-frequency current is applied, the germanium metal piece is simply applied to the affected area. Electron movement within the germanium metal piece becomes more active than when they are in contact with each other, activating germanium ions, and the therapeutic effect described in (4) above is quickly achieved.

In addition, the above-mentioned known low-frequency treatment equipment uses a copper plate or the like whose surface is covered with water-containing gauze as an electrode, and in this case, if electricity is applied for a long time, the copper plate will heat up and the contact point may be burned. However, if a germanium metal piece is used as an electrode, the electrode will not heat up even if electricity is applied for a long time, so there is no risk of burns.

The present inventor completed the present invention after confirming the above-mentioned effects, and the configuration of the present invention will be described below based on one embodiment shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a lead wire whose one end is connected to the output part of a known low-frequency treatment device via a jack, etc., and the other end is an electrode body made of a metal plate for passing low-frequency current to the human body. It is connected to 2. A contact plate 3 and a seat plate 4 made of flexible elastic foam are placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the electrode body 2, and a case-like flexible exterior body 5 with an open upper surface is arranged around these.
It is stored inside. A skin-contacting electrode body for a low-frequency treatment device having such a configuration is known, and in order to use this, the contact plate 3 on the upper surface is moistened with water, and it is placed on the body of the human body. The device is brought into contact with an affected area, etc., and the device is manipulated to energize the affected area with a low-frequency current.

In the present invention, a germanium metal piece 6 formed into a plate shape from germanium metal of high purity, for example, 99.99% purity, is mounted on the upper surface of the abutment plate 3. Although not shown, this attachment is done using a suitable adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, or the like. Although not shown, in carrying out the present invention, the germanium metal piece 6 is attached directly to the upper surface of the electrode body 2, and attached to any one of the contact plate 3, seat plate 4, and exterior body 5 on the upper and lower surfaces. Alternatively, not all may be used, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. By the way, germanium metal piece 6
Even if the metal piece 6 is configured to come into direct contact with the skin, the metal piece 6 has lower thermal conductivity than brass, etc., which is generally used as a skin-contact electrode body of low-frequency treatment equipment, and is less likely to rust. Therefore, it does not give a cool feeling when it comes into contact with the skin, and does not get stained by rust.

When the skin-contact electrode body according to the present invention is connected to a low-frequency treatment device and used in contact with a desired part such as an affected part of the human body such as an inflammatory disease or an acupuncture point route, the excellent therapeutic effect as described in (5) above can be obtained. Moreover, there is an advantage in that the commercial value of low-frequency treatment equipment that has been put into practical use is significantly improved.

Examples of this invention will be shown below.

A germanium metal piece with a purity of 99.99% was attached to the skin-contact electrode body connected to a low-frequency treatment device, and when this germanium metal piece was applied to an infected area of the human body and a low-frequency current was applied for 15 minutes, depression was detected. The blood is gone.

On the other hand, as in (4) above, when a germanium metal piece was simply applied to a congested area, the congested blood did not disappear in 15 minutes, and it took several days for the congested blood to disappear.

In addition, a copper plate whose surface was covered with water-containing gauze was attached to the skin-contact electrode body connected to the above-mentioned low-frequency treatment device, and when the copper plate was brought into contact with the area of congestion and a low-frequency current was applied, The blood stains did not disappear in 15 minutes, and if the electricity was turned on for a long time, the copper plate would heat up, creating a risk of burns.
