  • An efficient coupling is done by the placement of the device in such way that the plane that contain the coils of the bobbin to be tangent at the surface of the skin in the point to be stimulated.
  • the choice of the points and the plan of application is in conformity with the acupuncture principles, or the alternative medicine techniques, and it could be achieved both, by the authorized practitioner, or by the patient herself, based on a comprehensive guide.

  • the stimulation of the active electrodermal zones is achieved by an electromagnetic field with a very high frequency, generated by the electromagnetic device described in this invention, and placed on the cutaneous interface.
  • the active plantar electrodermal zone radiates in the electromagnetic spectrum of an extended band that includes also the infrared band to ultraviolet, and therefore it triggers the electromagnetic (EM) field emission of the chip.

  • These effects generate specific therapeutic effects for the acupoint, the active skin zone, the meridian, or the collection of the stimulated acupoints.
  • the devices for activation of plantar points with high frequency inductive chips could be mounted on insoles.
  • the mounting of the high frequency electromagnetic biochips, on the insoles was chosen for the in the zones of functional stimulation.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un appareil constitués d'un ensemble de dispositifs résonants passifs, utilisés pour la stimulation électromagnétique à haute fréquence des points d'acupuncture et des méridiens, ou des zones électrodermiques actives, situées à l'extérieur des points d'acupuncture, sans source d'énergie externe, dans le but de changer un état physiologique, ou pour le traitement d'une condition pathologique donnée, par l'obtention d'effets locaux de stimulation ou d'inhibition, ou d'effets systémiques, et qui peuvent être utilisés dans la thérapie médicale. Le dispositif électromagnétique résonant passif est construit à partir de composants électroniques standard placés sur une ou plusieurs planches de surface, ayant la forme géométrique d'un cercle, ou des polygones réguliers, étalonnés de manière à assurer des fréquences de résonance unique, ou multiples, dans la plage de 0,5 à 300 MHz. La méthode selon l'invention consiste à placer un ensemble de tels dispositifs électroniques passifs, ayant un champ interactif principalement magnétique variable, dans certains emplacements connus des thérapies d'acupuncture, tant comme position que pour l'effet et l'interaction. De tels dispositifs sont efficaces pour l'équilibrage bio-énergétique (stimulation-dispersion) du corps. Sous l'influence du champ magnétique et du rayonnement électromagnétique généré par l'organisme, le dispositif assure le transfert bioénergétique utile pour le rééquilibrage du corps.
