PROCE.SS AND APPARATUS FOR^" RELA ING HUMAN ORGANISM AND IMPROVING

GENERAL CONDITION

The invention relates to an arrangement for relaxing the human organism, improving its general condition and for increasing the capability of its natural protective mechanism, alleviating the state of stress, improving the frame of mind and the capacity to perform, balancing the blood- and lymph-circulation, comprising a source of light arranged in an enclosed place and a sitting or re- dining contrivance.

HU 186 081 describes an equipment aimed at stimulating the biologic processes connected with the cellular activity, especially at aiding the healing of the pathologic formations located on the surface of the body e.g. wounds, sores and other lesions, containing a light source producing light of a wavelength in excess of 300 nanometers. There are a polariser and a light deflector system integrated to the light source producing incoherent light; the light deflector system aligns the light beam into the required direction. The polariser is either attached to the light source or separated from it.

It is a generally accepted concept that both the negative environmental effects and the stress or other negative psychic effects weaken the human immune system.

There is very limited opportunity and time to counterbalance these negative effects under the present conditions and conduct of life. It would be highly desirable to compensate all these negative effects. (See O. Carl Simonton, Stephanie Matthcws-Simonton, James L. Creighton: Getting Well Again (1978, Bantam Books, New York-Toronto-London-Sidney-Auckland, as well as Ernest Lawrence Rossi: Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing (1986), Norton ISBN 0- 393-30554-6).

It is a known and experimentally proved fact that the treatment with po- larised light has a stimulating effect on the immune system, it improves the peripheral circulation of blood and stimulates the metabolism of the tissues on the 0

body surface and below (See Fenyδ, M : Theoretical and Experimental Basis of Biostimulation (Optics and Laser-Technology, 1984, 16 209-215, Kubasova T., Fenyό, M et al Investigations on Biological Effects of Polarised Light (Photochemistry and Photobiology, Vol 48, No 4 Pp 505-509, 1988, and Kub- asova T , Fenyo, M Effect of Visible Light on Some Cellular and Immune Parameters (Immunology and Cell Biology, Vol 73, pp 239-244, 1995)

Physiotherapeutic treatments are generally applied in a successive manner, successively (and independently from one another) while the skilled persons responsible for the treatment monitor the effect achieved during the treat- ment In order to avoid the unfavourable co-effect of the treatments and also for the better monitoring of them, it is not customary to apply simultaneously the different treatments

In this context our experience shows that the treatment with polarised light can be applied simultaneously with other treatments without significant danger of unfavourable co-effect

We have recognised that the negative effects can be counterbalanced far more effectively if the light treatment using polarised light to stimulate the immune system is combined with other treatments and/or the stimulation of the sensory organs Not only the intensity and the quantity of transmitted energy are important in the treatment with polarised light, but also the colour of the light and even the sight registered with the sensory organ From a mentalistic aspect the use of suitable sound effect and/or aroma therapy during the light treatment are especially important Suitable physical stimulations, too have a favourable effect on the results of the treatment with polarised light

The increase of the oxygen contents and especially of the negative oxygen ion contents of the inhaled air shows favourable physiological effects in the case of all healthy cells of the organism

When applying stimulus to the sensory organs we have noted that the treatment of a significant part of the body surface with polarised light (for instance one whole side of the body) besides stimulating the immune system O 01

showed favourable effects both on the metabolism and on the performance capacity and mood of the person treated.

The deficiency of the known equipment is that it is suitable only to stimulate locally the biologic processes connected with the cellular activity. We have recognised that by applying polarised light of a suitable colour and intensity to the treatment of the entire body and complementing it with suitably selected sound effects, it is possible to relax the human organism and to improve its general condition. Simultaneously the capability of the natural protective mechanism of the organism increases, the state of stress is allevi- ated, the blood- and lymph-circulation becomes more balanced and the performance capacity and mood of the treated person improves.

Based on this recognition, a process was developed to relax the human organism, improve its general condition, reduce the state of stress, improve its performance capability and mood, and to balance the blood- and lymph- circulation. In this process a person or patient to be treated is placed in a comfortable sitting and/or reclining position and is illuminated with a light of suitable intensity. Light treatment is applied for at least 20 but at most 60 minutes. During the full time of this light treatment the patient receives at least 4 J, preferably 10 J but at most 40 J energy per cm². For values below 4 J either the posi- tive effect becomes negligible or the time of treatment must be continued for unacceptably long periods; for values over 40 J undesired skin reaction could occur and the too intensive light prevents relaxing. In parallel to the light treatment also sound therapy is applied, having a volume of at least 30 dB, but at most 80 dB. Volumes below 30 dB in a city environment are commensurable with the background noise and therefore lower values, for instance 20 dB can only be used in a very quiet environment. Volumes over 80 dB in most cases do not help relaxation.

Well-known physiotherapeutic treatments like for instance massaging and different electric treatments are applied in conjunction with the light treat- ment and sound therapy if required.

Optionally aroma therapy treatments are applied with the use of suitable O 01/45780

aromas in parallel with the light treatment. The harmonisation of the appropriate colour and aroma is of particular importance.

Optionally also visual treatment can be applied in conjunction with the light treatment and sound therapy wherein suitable equipment is used to stimu- late the patient with visual effects. Clearly, the colour of the light treatment, the sound effects and the visual effects must harmonise.

It is also possible to monitor the physical condition of the patient during the treatment, for instance the frequency of respiration or heart-beat, blood pressure, skin resistance, frequency of motions, etc. On the basis of these data the effect achieved by the treatment can be observed and monitored during the treatment, the intensity and duration of the treatment can be adjusted, e.g. weakened, shortened or can be strengthened, intensified and lengthened, respectively, as necessary.

Before starting the light treatment it is necessary to determine the colour and intensity of the light treatment and the character and volume of the sound therapy to be applied in parallel. It can be determined also how the intensity and the colour of the light treatment should change during the light treatment and how should the different sound effects and their volume change.

If necessary, the above prescription has to be complemented by pre- scribing the duration of the applied physiotherapy and if different types of physiotherapeutical treatments are applied, their sequence and intensity.

Light treatment can be complemented by oxygen treatment where the concentration of ionised oxygen of the air inhaled by the patient is increased.

All these different treatments have therapeutic effect both in conjunction and separately, too. Their joint application however is more far-reaching. For instance, with the use of adequate sound- and image-effects the process of relaxation and learning can be deepened and accelerated. In general it is possible to influence the state of consciousness while instead of becoming tired the patient becomes more lively and his capacity to perform increases significantly. Our experiences prove that this is enhanced by the polarised character of the light. O 01/4578

In the sense of the invention we have developed an arrangement for relaxing the human organism, improving the general well-being and mood of the patient, for increasing his capacity to perform and the capability of his natural protective mechanism, for alleviating the state of stress and for balancing the blood- and lymph-circulation, with the arrangement comprising a light source arranged in an enclosed place and a contrivance for sitting and/or reclining. In accordance with the invention there is a polarised filter placed at a distance of at least one of the walls of the room, covering 50% but at least 4 m² of the wall in question. The light sources are located between the polarising filter and the said wall of the room. The size of the surface illuminated by the light source must be enough to cover in full the reclining and/or sitting contrivance. The light sources emit different light spectrums and each spectrum has a characteristic colour. A colour adjustment device is connected to the light sources which switches on the different colour light sources as prescribed. Furthermore there is at least one loudspeaker in the room, connected to an audio-amplifying equipment In accordance with the invention a physiotherapeutic device, for instance a massaging device can be advantageously connected to the reclining and/or sitting contrivance. Furthermore there is a displaying device, for instance a projection screen is arranged advantageously in the room to which a project- ing device, for instance a projector or a video-player is connected.

The room can be equipped also with an oxygen source, with the aid of which for instance, through a mask, the patient can inhale air with high ionised oxygen concentration, and can inhale in this same manner also the appropriate aromatic material. Both the light sources, the physiotherapeutic equipment, the sound sources (acoustical generator) and the aroma source can be connected to a central controller unit through the controllers attached to the different devices.

Sensors connected to the data collector can be arranged near to or attached to the reclining and/or sitting contrivance. The data collector, too, is connected to the central controlling unit. The room can further be equipped with decorations, for instance with a background picture. If necessary, the back- O 01/45780

ground picture can be set up in a manner to allow variability

The invention will be described on the basis of the attached drawing In the drawing

Figure 1 is the schematic design of the arrangement of the subject mat- ter of the invention

The implementation shown in Figure 1 is arranged in an enclosed place (room) 1, where a polarising filter 2 is placed below the ceiling 7 at a distance from it The polarising filter 2 covers the largest part of the ceiling 7 of the room 1 , in the present arrangement part of the room 1 is sectioned out with the parti- honing wall 21 and the polarising filter 2 is set up to this partitioning wall 21 There are light sources 3 arranged between the polarising filter 2 and the ceiling 7, made in the form of fluorescent lamps of different colours and radiating in different spectral ranges Near to one of the walls of the room 1 there is a reclining and/or sitting contrivance 4 arranged in a position, that allows the person in it to see the furthest wall of the room 1 There is an opening 22 made on the partitioning wall 21 through which the displaying device, for instance projection screen 15 mounted or placed on the wall of the room 1 behind the partitioning wall 21 can be seen There are loudspeakers 5 in the room 1 , which in this case are placed at the two opposite sides of the partitioning wall 21 Furthermore, decoration 6 can be installed in the room 1 There are furthermore an lonizator 18 and an aroma source 14 installed in the room 1 The colour adjustment unit 8 controlling the light sources 3 and the audio-amplifying equipment 9 are connected to the central control unit 12 A physiotherapeutic equipment 10, for instance a massaging device, electro-therapeutic device, etc can be attached to the reclining and/or sitting contrivance Different sensors connected to a data collector 13 can also be attached to the reclining and/or sitting contrivance 4 With the aid of these sensors it is possible to collect data about the frequency of heart beat or breathing, blood pressure, motions and the different parameters indicating the physical state of the patient being in the reclining and/or sitting contrivance 4

It is very important, especially if the environment is polluted, to have an aerator 20 installed in the room 1 which - equipped with a suitable air filter - will blow clean air into the room 1. An oxygen source 19 can also be connected to the aerator 20 to increase the oxygen concentration in the room 1. An aroma source controller 11 can be connected to the aroma source 14 - which can be set up in a form suitable to emit in a controlled manner one or more aromas, equipped for instance with a controllable heating device - which, if adjusted as prescribed can emit different fragrances into the room 1 for the prescribed length of time and in the prescribed order. The aroma source 14 can be combined also with the aerator 20, in which case the air blown in contains the de- sired aroma. These devices can be combined and then it will be possible to use a device which contains an air filter, a source of oxygen (discharger), an ioni- zator and also an aroma source. The outlet of the device is - through a flexible tube - connected to a mask which can be put on the face of the patient. Different appliances can be installed in the part of the room 1 separated by the partition- ing wall 21 , preferably outside the field of vision of the person in the reclining and/or sitting contrivance 4. Such appliance could be for instance the projector 16 associated with the displaying device 15, which projects motion pictures onto the displaying device 15 with the aid of suitable optical accessories, for instance mirrors. The projector 16 could for instance be a video player, while the dis- playing device 15 could be a large size screen connected to it. One or more different background pictures 17 can also be set up in this separate part of the room 1 , which can be mounted on the displaying device 15 or the displaying device 15 can be covered by those.

There should preferably be among the light sources 3 types that emit rays in the ultra violet range (UV-A and UV-B), this should only be done however if the polarising filter 2 is permeable for the radiation in that range. If the polarising filter 2 is not permeable for these ultra violet rays, a separate source of light emitting ultra violet rays could be installed in the room 1 , which polarises the ultra violet rays with the aid of suitable optical accessories, for instance with mirrors or filters. This is important because the ulCa violet radiation, in spite of all its useful characteristics, can also have harmful effects in certain cases (for O 01/45780

instance it is known to have carcinogen effect), and these harmful effects can be counterbalanced with polarisation. Polarised light has a stimulating effect on the immune system and it has been proved experimentally that it is useful in arresting and inhibiting the generation or propagation of malign skin deformations. Thus physiologically polarised ultra violet light is far more favourable than the not polarised one.

There is an adequate number of light tubes mounted on the ceiling 7 of the room 1 in such a manner that there are 6-10 light tubes of different colours for each 50 cm area evenly distributed by colour. It is evident that by turning on light tubes in the appropriate number and colour, both the intensity and the colour of the light can be varied within broad limits. The physiologic effect of light is known and in certain cases is used to influence the state of mind and mood of people. All these effects are enhanced if the immune system of the patient is stimulated with the help of polarised light in parallel with influencing his state of mind. A very positive effect can be achieved by simultaneously improving the state of mind and the performance capacity as well as stimulating the immune system, and stress alleviation effect can be achieved with light treatment of appropriate intensity, colour and duration. The stress alleviation and relaxing effect of the treatment with polarised light can be enhanced with a sound (audio) treatment applied simultaneously. With the aid of the audio-amplifying equipment 9 used in the arrangement of the subject matter of the invention the sound, music, noise or background noise corresponding to the desired effect can be produced. Audio tapes, records, syn- thetisers equipped with suitable programming device, computer, etc. can be used for this purpose, but also other sound generating devices can be utilised, for instance gongs, bells, whistles or other musical instruments.

Certain people feel isolated if they are alone in an enclosed place, room 1. This unpleasant feeling can be significantly reduced with the use of decora- tion 6 which effectively enhances the visual effect exercised through the displaying device 15. O 01/45780

Naturally, it is possible to set up more than one reclining and/or sitting contrivances 4 in the room 1 and thus the different services and treatments can be offered to several people simultaneously. Naturally, in the treatment of more than one person the provision of the individual programs cannot clash, and therefore the arrangement of the subject matter of the invention on occasions will provide treatment to one person only.

Before starting the procedure which is made possible by the arrangement of the subject matter of the invention, it is necessary to prescribe the steps to be taken, their intensity, duration and sequence. The spectrum to be used (domi- nant colour, UV-A and UV-B components), the intensity and the fragrances to be used in parallel to them must be determined taking into account the desired effect and the condition of the patient to be treated. The most important aim when determining the sound effect to be used is for it to produce the effect that suits the wishes and health condition of the patient (stress alleviation, relaxa- tion, increase of performance, deepening of knowledge, etc.).

In order to facilitate the prescribing of colours the different problems that can be treated with the different colours are listed below:

It can be seen that by the arrangement of the subject matter of the invention, a procedure based on the use of polarised light is suitable for a large variety of uses. It is however important to note that the treatment is ineffective if the energy of the light treatment remains below the value of 4 J per cm² for one treatment. There is practically no upper limit, but in the case of too intensive illumination (with an intensity of over 500 Lux) the light can be disturbing and thus the beneficial effect can be diminished. For this reason, the use of illumination has to happen with an intensity between 100-400 Lux but preferably with 200 Lux.

It is important principally from the aspect of relaxation and stress alleviation that the duration of the treatment be at least 20 minutes, but preferably 30 minutes. In the case of treatments of more than 60 minutes the beneficial effect will not increase noticeably. The treatment is more effective if it is periodically repeated for instance every day or at least every week. It is beneficial to apply the treatment in the form of a cure, and a cure should preferably comprise 6-12 sessions. The cure could be advantageously complemented by a diet or nutrition complements; food additives, teas, medicinal herbs can be used in parallel.
