Description

 The invention relates to medicine, namely to reflexology, and can be used to maintain the health of car drivers.

 During long-term monitoring of the state of health of employees of automobile enterprises, in particular, car drivers, it was found that most of them suffer from: common osteochondrosis, inflammation in the genitourinary system, increased blood pressure and psychophysical disorders.

 All these health disorders are recognized as occupational diseases of car drivers and are caused by congestion in the pelvic organs due to the need to maintain a long sitting position and constant tension of the nervous system due to stressful situations on the road.

 There is a method of restoring a person’s health by the method of electro-puncture, in which electrodes are applied to the area of “exposure points” and an electric current is passed through them from a stationary power source. In this case, a rod electrode with a diameter of 1-3 mm placed on the handle of a dielectric with a spring device that allows you to adjust the pressure on the skin, or plate electrodes with a diameter of 5-10 mm glued to the skin, is used as an active electrode. The passive electrode is usually a wide plate attached to the palm of the hand or forearm (V.G. Vogralik, M.V. Vogralik, "Puncture reflexotherapy", Gorky, Volga-Vyatka Book Publishing House, 1988, p. 169). The disadvantage is the limited use of it in a hospital due to the need for direct current sources and shorting the electrodes through an external circuit.

 Known methods of puncture magnetotherapy, in which there is a therapeutic effect on acupuncture points with both a constant and an alternating magnetic field (ibid., P. 171).

 Closest to the proposed method for its intended purpose, technical feasibility and the achieved result is a method of maintaining the health of the human operator, which consists in influencing the acupuncture points located in the distal extremities, permanent magnets applied to the acupuncture points by the south pole for a period of 2-6 days ( AS USSR N 1711889, class A 61 N 39/00, A 61 N 2/08 from 01/11/08, publ. 02/15/92). The disadvantage is the need for constant contact of permanent magnets during the entire period of exposure, which imposes certain restrictions on the conditions for its use. In particular, it is difficult to use the method during periods when a human operator and an employee of another specialty perform workloads associated with the use of metal production tools that weaken the magnetic field of permanent magnets. In addition, with the constant contact of the magnetic plates with the surface of the skin, discomfort in the form of weakness and local skin lesions, heat, water-salt and gas metabolism may occur. With the permanent placement of magnets on the distal surfaces of the limbs, there are also household inconveniences due to the need to limit motor and other functions.

 The proposed method of maintaining the health of car drivers allows for the correction of the state of the human body during workloads, which is the reason for counteracting the emerging negative effects.

 The proposed method of maintaining the health of car drivers, which consists in influencing the corporal acupuncture points located on the limbs, is characterized by the impact on these points during periods of workload with metal plates with unlike electrochemical potentials, while plates with a positive potential are placed on the surface of the car’s manual control elements, and negative potential plates are fixed directly on the sole surface of one of the lower x limbs.

 The implementation of the method is characterized by the impact on the acupuncture system of the car driver during workloads, accompanied by negative influences on the driver’s body, which allows you to quickly neutralize the latter and correct the body’s homeostasis.

 The placement of elements on the elements of manual control of the car and directly on the sole of one of the lower extremities eliminates the inconvenience associated with the need for constant contact with the patient’s skin surface and provides sufficient contact time to restore homeostasis, because the driver during the period of implementation of the vehicle control functions (during the period of workloads) has been in contact with the elements of manual control of the latter for a long time.

 When metal plates with opposite electrochemical potentials come into contact with biologically active points on the surface of the limbs, an electric current is formed in the meridians connecting them and representing channels with increased electrical conductivity, which is caused by the potential difference of the plates, i.e. the flow of electrons from positively charged plates (on manual controls) to negatively charged plates (on the sole of the foot).

 An electric current passing along the meridian excites an electromagnetic field that acts on the meridians, which are electromagnetic waves, which normalizes their energy and restores the homeostasis of the body.

 Due to the contact of positively charged plates with biologically active points of the palms and fingers, and negatively charged plates with biologically active points of the acupuncture zones of the sole of the foot, the meridians connecting these points are polarized and the human body is polarized, approaching the natural polarization of the human body, when the presence of a positive charge in the upper torso and a negative charge in the lower torso.

 When fingertips touch metal plates located on the car’s manual control elements, the biologically active points located on the surface of the fingers are also subjected to massage, which contributes to their activation and has an additional effect on the energy of the meridians associated with these points. If desired, the driver can purposefully touch certain acupuncture zones of the palms and fingers and the corresponding zones of the sole, in which most organs and systems of the body are somatotonically (for example, the use of massage on the terminal phalanx of the little finger helps relieve pain in the heart).

 In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of the fixing of plates on the elements of manual control of the car and on the sole of the foot; figure 2 diagram of the meridians located in the human body and exposed to the proposed method.

 The proposed method of maintaining efficiency was tested on a group of drivers of 5 people, the monitoring of which was carried out during the year. The experimental group of drivers included professional drivers and amateurs.

 Copper plates 3 are fixed on the steering wheels 1 of their cars by braiding 2, while the plate sizes are sufficient for contact with the surface of the fingers. Copper plates are also mounted on the surface of the gear lever. Drivers, when boarding a car, fastened a zinc plate to the soles of their feet. Before the experiment, all drivers were measured current strength at biologically active points corresponding to the meridians, which were supposed to impact during the experiment.

 Monitoring of a group of drivers was carried out daily for a year by measuring the current strength at biologically active points of the impact meridians using the BION computer-based observation system that does not contain a direct current source that affects the body.

 In the observed group of drivers there were 3 professional drivers and 2 amateurs, while at the beginning of the experiment it was recorded that drivers D and E suffered from an increase in blood pressure at the end of the shift to 150/100, all drivers were diagnosed with cervical osteochondrosis, accompanied by dizziness, headaches, chronic prostatitis (pain in the lower abdomen with radiation to the rectum, minor pain during urination) with signs of impotence.

 All drivers at the end of the shift complained of fatigue, agitation, irritability.

 After two months from the beginning of the experiment, normalization of blood pressure in drivers D and E was noted without any additional treatment (both drug and non-drug), while driver D established a constant blood pressure of 125/75, which does not change at the end of the shift. Driver E also had an increase in blood pressure to 135/90 at the end of the work shift, but after 5 months the pressure stabilized at 130/80.

 During the experiment, after a month, all the drivers got rid of pain in the neck, all noted the disappearance of pain in the lower abdomen, when urinating. The result of the experiment is also the elimination of feelings of fatigue, irritability at the end of the shift. During the year, only one driver experienced pain in the lumbar, but 3 massage sessions were enough to eliminate the pain and the patient went to work. Before the experiment for the treatment of exacerbation of lumbar osteochondrosis (radiculitis), it was necessary to spend 2-3 weeks.

 During the experiment, currents were measured in controlled meridians and subjective sensations of drivers at the end of the shift were recorded.

 In the table. 1 shows the current measurements at the beginning of the experiment, in table. 2.3 six months and a year after the start of the implementation of the proposed method at various biologically active points corresponding to the meridians of the impact.

 Thus, it has been established that due to the impact on biologically active points located on the extremities during normal periods of work with metal plates with opposite electrochemical potentials, the energy is normalized in the meridians that are “responsible” for the state of organs whose diseases are professional diseases of car drivers.

 In particular, the meridians are affected by the proposed method: IG of the small intestine; TR of three heaters (endocrine system); GI - large intestine; From the heart; P lung; MS pericardium (sexual meridian); V of the bladder (the place where the nerve endings exit the spine); T of the posterior median (spine), having exits to the surface of the body at biologically active points located on the surface of the fingers and soles of the feet. Through T (the posterior-median meridian), the V-bladder and spine are normalized.

 Increasing the energy of meridians is due to the passage of electric current through them, formed due to the potential difference of metal plates in contact with biologically active points of the limbs.

 Due to the normalization of the energy of meridians, the state of the body changes towards homeostasis (harmony) (which is ensured by the restoration of the amplitude of the electromagnetic waves that represent the meridians). all organs, which increases the efficiency of a person, in particular, a car driver.

 The proposed method of maintaining efficiency can be implemented for workers of other professions and does not require sophisticated equipment and special time to affect the body (in particular, for athletes, mental workers).
