Abstract

Magnetic tool - socks for individuals having difficulties with genitourinary system of functional etiology such as impotence, hot flushes in menoupause, urine incontinency represent an invention that belongs to the field of medical science - physiotherapeutical devices for location or stimulation of reflex spots on a body i.e. acupunctural points - device to exert thrust on those points. It represents application of knowledge from the field of acupuncture and magnetic therapy onto a particular article of clothing - socks. Magnetic tool -socks made of a natual fabric - cotton. Magnetic stimulation of acupunctural points is achieved by means of 8 permanent magnets with 700 Gauss of strength (70 mT) sewn through into an inserted piece of socks where spots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are. Magnets are set so that by its north pole, i.e. rounded side of the magnet, lean directly onto the particular part of the leg, i.e. acupunctural point. By using the magnetic field of one magnet, acupunctural points are individually stimulated and in this case points K 1, K 3, K7, Sp4, Sp 6, S 44, Liv 3, UB 64. Herewith, a combinated effect of acupressure and magnetic field is enabled, and no additional engagement of a medical practisioner is required, it provides some wider application, it can be used indipendently or with medicamental therapy, no negative effects upon longer application of acupunctural points with permanent magnets have been recorded so far.
