Description

The present invention relates to medicine, namely to reflexology, and can be used in the treatment of various diseases by the action of a stream of heated air of different intensities on the zones of biologically active points shown in the treatment of a disease.

Acupuncture is the oldest method of treatment, which in recent years has attracted increasing interest of doctors around the world due to the fact that “pharmacological oversaturation” has become an urgent problem, which has entailed a wide range of side effects from the use of medicines. In this regard, the qualified use of acupuncture is of particular importance, because devoid of unwanted side effects. The popularity of acupuncture is associated with the possibility of its use in the treatment of patients with diseases of a functional and organic nature, including cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive systems, neurology. This is a practically harmless, relatively simple and affordable method, which is based on the principle of reflex - the impact on the reflex points of the body. A wide range of sources of information for the implementation of acupuncture methods is known.

Various methods of acupuncture are known: acupuncture, cauterization, acupressure, electroacupuncture, bioenergy therapy, aeroionic massage, auriculopuncture, eco-acupuncture, etc.

So, there is a known method of acupuncture in the treatment of Meniere's syndrome or disease (US Pat. RU No. 2124346, publ. 10.01.99, Bull. No. 1). When implementing this method, the predominant type of energy imbalance of the nervous system is preliminarily detected - right-sided, left-sided, mixed. Depending on this, intermittent pressure is applied by the fingers on reflexogenic zones and BAP. The impact is carried out with an effort that causes the appearance of pain and the response of muscle tension. An individual treatment program is selected for each patient, aimed at correcting the energy flow. External pain exposure with fingers is carried out within 1-3 seconds, from 1 to 5 times with local muscle tension, but not more than the level of pain tolerance by the patient. The procedures are carried out every other day, the course of treatment is 10-12 procedures. During the treatment period, the patient's condition is monitored, the treatment program is corrected, varying the exposure zone; the procedure is accompanied by breath holding for the patient during exposure to the reflexogenic zone.

In addition, patent holders do not deny the simultaneous use of medication and physiotherapy.

Disadvantages: treatment does not give reliable results, a significant portion of patients do not receive tangible results of treatment, the patient experiences some discomfort.

A known method of treating menopausal syndrome in women (US Pat. RU No. 2026060, publ. 10.01.95, Bull. No. 1), which provides for 8-10 sessions of thermovibropuncture taking into account the state of the ANS. With a predominance of sympathetic tone, a temperature of 37-39 ° C and vibration with a frequency of 28-32 Hz with an amplitude of 1-1.5 mm are applied to the corresponding BAT, with parasympathetic tone, a temperature of 20-25 ° C and a vibration with a frequency of 98-102 Hz with an amplitude of 0.3 -0.5 mm when exposed to the BAP, if both sections of the ANS are violated - t 30-35 ° C and a vibration of 48-52 Hz with an amplitude of 0.51 mm. The exposure time during treatment is increased from 1.5 to 4 minutes.

Disadvantages: the method provides for the treatment of menopausal syndrome in women only, requires quite sophisticated equipment and laboriousness.

Tasks: the search for new, safe, effective, pathogenetically substantiated and inexpensive methods of influencing biologically active points in various diseases.

The essence of the method is characterized in that the effect is carried out by a continuous and / or pulsating jet of heated and compressed to 3 atm air.

The method is carried out without medication and mainly without combination with other methods of exposure.

The method is as follows. In the continuous mode of pressure up to 3 atm or pulsed at t jets of compressed air up to 45 ° C, air is fed through the tip to the BAT zone. In this case, the distance of the tip from the skin is 1.5-2.0 cm. With a pulsed jet, the pulse frequency is 1.0-10 Hz. To achieve a tonic effect (arousal), higher frequencies from the specified range are used, and to calm (sedation), low frequencies (mainly 1-3 Hz) or a continuous pressure mode are used.

The principles of selection of points, the levels of exposure to them are published, in particular, in the book. D.M. Tabeeva “Guidelines for acupuncture”. M .: Medicine, 1982.

Example 1. Patient O., 42 years old.

Diagnosis: exacerbation of gastric ulcer, without bleeding.

Complaints of pain in the epigastric region, nausea, discomfort in the stomach.

Fibrogastroduodenoscopy (FGDS) was performed.

The esophagus is free to pass. Its walls are elastic, the mucous membrane is hyperemic in the lower third with linear erosion covered with fibrin. A 41 cm cardia socket does not completely close.

The stomach is of normal size, contains a moderate amount of mucous fluid mixed with bile. The relief is longitudinal, folds of normal height, straighten with air. The mucous membrane of the foci is hyperemic. In the area of the corner, a ulcerative defect with a diameter of 2.2 × 1.8 × 0.3 cm with a coating of light fibrin with necrotic masses is determined. The gatekeeper is round, functioning.

Conclusion: gastric ulcer in the acute stage. Cardia insufficiency. Erosive reflux esophagitis. Focal superficial gastritis.

This disease requires warming of the “earth” points, i.e. “Humidity”.

In continuous pressure mode with a temperature of + 45 ° C at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the tip to the skin, the following BAT were warmed in the sequence: 1) 36E (tsu-san-li); 2) 12J (Zhong-wan); 3) 13J (Shan-Wan); 4) 25E (tien shu); on the “wonderful” meridian - 5) 6MS (nei-guan); 6) 4RP (gun-sun); on the meridian of the bladder - points of sympathy - 7) 20V (pishu); 8) 21V (wei-shu).

During the first session, the pain subsided, the nausea and discomfort in the stomach disappeared. By 5-7 session - a significant improvement. The course held 10 sessions. Repeated gastroscopy.

The esophagus is free to pass. Its walls are elastic, the mucous membrane is hyperemic in the lower third. A 41 cm cardia socket does not completely close.

The stomach is of normal size, contains a moderate amount of mucous fluid mixed with bile. The relief is longitudinal, folds of normal height, straighten with air. Peristalsis in all departments is normal. The mucous membrane is focal hyperemic. In the region of the angle, a star scar is defined with a granulation shaft at the edges.

Conclusion: post ulcerative scar of the angle of the stomach. Cardia deficiency, esophagitis. Focal superficial gastritis.

Example 2. Patient T., 23 years old.

Diagnosis: acute respiratory disease (ARI).

Complaints: general malaise, fever, headache, sore throat, nasal mucus, dry cough.

The exposure in a continuous mode of pressure with heat + 45 ° C warmed up the following points: 1) 67V (ji-yin); 2) 1V (qing-min) - with eyes closed; 3) RSZ (yin-tan); 4) 20GJ (ying-xiang); 5) 7P (lecius); 6) 6R (zhao-hai); 7) 17J (tan-chjun); 8) 11V (da-ju); 9) 12V (Feng Men); 10) 13V (fei-shu); 11) 40V (wei-chung).

Diseases of the “cold” must be treated with “heat”. In ancient Chinese medical treatises, this disease is treated and interpreted as follows: “the cold of the meridian of the bladder rose up and“ came out through the nostrils ”.

Therefore, the “cold” points on the meridian of the bladder - 1 and 67 and the local points - 3RS and 20GJ are warmed up. In addition, points of the “wonderful” meridian - 7P and 6R were used, points of “sympathy” - points “shu” were added.

Cough and fever joined. Warm up the points of the meridian of the lungs - 5P (chi-jie) and 6P (kun-tzu).

40V is the exit point of the bladder meridian to the surface of the body and it is also a hormonal point.

Point 17J (tan-chung) - affects the immune system through the thymus and is the point (center) of the association of meridians (in particular, the lungs).

Relief came during the first session. At the 3-5 session - recovery without complications of the underlying disease.

The method allows for treatment with minimal psycho-emotional load on the patient, to increase the therapeutic effect by reducing the error in the detection of reflexogenic points, in this regard, to shorten the time of onset of the positive effect of treatment and restore the quality of life of the patient.
