Definitions

  • This invention relates to a glove, specifically to a novel manifestation of a hand reflexology zone morphological map in the form of a therapeutic glove.
  • the science of hand reflexology is the process of directly stimulating via direct pressure, the reflex receptor points in the hand which directly correspond to the body's internal organs and functions.
  • the body is divided into ten zones of jurisdiction, each zone containing its corresponding organs with their reflex counterpart in the hand.
  • this invention is a detailed, reliable, and highly useful hand reflexology zone morphological zone map in the form of a therapeutic glove.
  • This zone map directly overlays the naturally occurring reflex zones in the hand to be stimulated by direct pressure thru the pliant plastic material forming the hand reflexology glove.
  • This pliant plastic material enables a lone practitioner to benefit from a deep, focused, and penetrating self application of hand reflexology massage. by effectually shielding the distracting effects of skin surface friction, and the skin's surface sense of touch with respect to the hands. To accomplish this effectual shielding, the pliant plastic material exhibits the following qualities in combination with the morphological map of the hand reflexology glove:
  • the main objects and advantages of this invention are that it be smartly designed to safely. efficiently, and inexpensively perform the function of a morphological roadmap for a self-user to instantly indicate and access the locations of all important reflex zone areas in the hands.
  • the hand reflexology glove integrates all necessary technical hand reflexology information into a single usable device for the instant application of stimulating hand reflexes to promote healing.
  • the hand reflexology glove provides the layman with an instantly useful introduction to the benefits of hand reflexology, and serves as a springboard for investigating the science further if desired.
  • the hand reflexology glove simply demonstrates and proves to an individual that the hand reflex zone mechanisms and processes are indicative of the body's inherent intelligence system for systematic healing.
  • the hand reflexology glove allows for instant use without memorization of the hand reflex zone locations.
  • the pliant plastic material comprising the hand reflexology glove acts as an artificial skin surface and texture to restructure the practitioner's apparent surface skin sensitivity, allowing the individual to efficiently focus hand reflexology pressure below the surface.
  • Fig 1 is a perspective front view of the body illustrating how it is divided into ten contiguous zones.
  • Fig 2 is an enlargement of the right hand of figure 1 , covered by a reflexology glove illustrating the hand reflex morphological map and reflex zone lines.

  • Fig 4 is a dynamic three dimensional representation of how the left hand of figure 3 is overlaid with the reflexology glove of this invention indicating the reflex zones and lines.
  • An un-gloved right hand is applying reflex zone therapy on the left gloved hand which instantly displays the location of all common reflex zones and lines.

Abstract

Pour améliorer l'utilité et les techniques de réflexologie de la main, un gant (54) pour réflexologie de la main constitué d'un matériau plastique souple est destiné à être placé sur une main (14). Une carte (50) morphologique des zones réflexologiques de la main ainsi qu'une pluralité de lignes de zones réflexes (24L, 26, 28, 30 et 32) fournissent une interface de guidage précise de réflexologie de la main pendant un traitement réflexologique (60) effectué par une main (34). Ledit gant de réflexologie (54) recouvrre directement les points effectifs des zones réceptrices réflexes des fonctions corporelles et des organes, qui se trouvent naturellement sur la main (14), ce qui permet à un individu d'accéder instantanément et avec précision à n'importe quelle zone réceptrie réflexe voulue.
