Description

  In order to instantly relieve and cure symptoms caused by various diseases such as myalgia, neuralgia, headache, low back pain, and fifty shoulders by pressing the meridian of the human body (hereinafter simply referred to as acupoints). The present invention relates to a shiatsu rod used.

  A conventional acupressure treatment method is a method in which an affected part or acupuncture point is manually pressed, squeezed and struck to stimulate nerves, improve blood circulation, and relieve pain. In acupuncture, acupuncture is applied to the acupuncture points of the human body, the acupuncture is set, and heat and electricity are used for treatment.

  By the way, since the conventional acupuncture treatment directly drives a needle into the human body, there is a problem that anxiety about infection with a malignant virus or the like is given to a patient when the used instrument is not sufficiently sterilized. Therefore, various types of acupressure devices have been proposed for the purpose of alleviating pain and treating the disease by simply abutting the acupressure device against the affected area and lightly pressing it without causing damage to the human body. ing.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an acupressure device that is portable and can provide a simple acupuncture effect simultaneously with an acupressure effect and a fir tree effect. This acupressure device is equipped with a pressing member having an acupressure portion at the upper end, in which a plurality of needle-like thin rods with rounded tips are implanted in a sliding inner cylinder that slides in an outer cylinder, and the pressing member is It has a rotating structure.

  On the other hand, there has been proposed a health appliance using a combination of metals having different ionization tendencies and a galvanic current generated by the arrangement method thereof and utilizing the reaction of the generated weak current to the living body (for example, see Patent Document 2 or Patent Document 3). .) In particular, Patent Document 4 proposes an acupressure device in which a metal piece having a different ionization tendency from that of a gripping body is embedded in the tip of a gripping body made of a conductive metal such as gold, silver, or copper alone or appropriately mixed metals. Has been.

  As described above, there has been proposed an acupressure device in which the acupressure device induces a weak current by itself without using a commercial power source or the like unlike an electric treatment device, and exhibits an epoch-making therapeutic effect.

However, for example, in the acupressure device of Patent Document 4, in order to prevent a decrease in conductivity between the metal piece and the gripping body, a shrinkage method is used so that no substance that does not decrease the conductivity is interposed between the two. Although it is described that it is preferable that the dissimilar metals are brought into close contact with each other by the shrink-fit method, extremely high molding and skilled work are required.
The present invention is a metal acupressure device that uses a galvanic string to induce a weak current in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and ensures that the metals having different ionization tendencies are in close contact with each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide an acupressure rod that can be easily manufactured.

  Therefore, the acupressure rod according to the present invention includes a rod main body made of a conductive metal and a conductive metal having a different ionization tendency from that of the metal constituting the rod main body. It is characterized by. A second feature is that the shiatsu rod body is made of silver and the surface thereof is gold-plated. Furthermore, the third feature is that the acupressure rod body is octagonal.

Since this invention was comprised as mentioned above, it has the following outstanding effects.
(1) The pain of muscle pain, neuralgia, headache, low back pain, fifty shoulders, etc. is instantly alleviated by simply touching the tip of the acupressure rod against the affected area, lightly pressing it, and rotating it around the pressing point. Can be reduced.
(2) Since there is no surgical damage such as piercing the human body, there is no anxiety about hygiene such as infection with malignant virus.
(3) Like an electric treatment device, it does not use an external power supply such as a commercial power supply, and not only provides a high therapeutic effect due to galvanic current, but it can also be used easily and conveniently outdoors and abroad, with special maintenance. Is also unnecessary.

It is a perspective view of the rod for acupressure according to the present invention. (A) of the acupressure rod according to the present invention is a side view, and (b) is a right side view of (a). It is a spectroscopic element table.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the acupressure rod 1 has a pencil-like shape as a whole, that is, a cone-shaped portion 2 in which one end side (front end side) of an octagonal rod-shaped rod body 1 as a gripping portion forms an acute angle. The tip 2a is formed in a spherical shape having a size that can be pressed by the acupoint of the human body.

  Here, the acupressure rod 1 includes a silver rod body 1 which is a conductive metal, and gold which is a conductive metal having a different ionization tendency from the metal constituting the rod body 1 is plated on the surface of the rod body 1. Then, a gold plating layer 3 is applied.

  The metal constituting the rod 1 may be, for example, gold, silver, copper, aluminum zinc, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, tin, etc. These metals have a relatively high conductivity, and The weak current generated when the tip 2a is in contact with the skin can be efficiently passed.

  The metal plated on the surface of the rod 1 is a metal having a different ionization tendency from the metal constituting the rod 1. However, it goes without saying that harmful substances such as lead and cadmium are excluded. The larger the difference in ionization tendency, the larger the potential difference generated between the two. For example, if the rod 1 is made of a gold alloy with a low ionization tendency and one of the metals is made of aluminum with a high ionization tendency, a large potential difference between the two. Produce.

  However, if aluminum is left in the air, it is easily oxidized, and an oxide film is formed on the surface, resulting in a decrease in conductivity. Therefore, in order to increase conductivity, the surface of the aluminum is removed before use to remove the oxide film. In this embodiment, silver is used as a raw material for the rod 1 because the metallic properties are stable and the time required for surface oxidation is comparatively gentle.

  The acupressure rod 1 of the present invention is rotationally operated with the pressing point as a starting axis in a state where the distal end 2a of the acupressure rod 1 is lightly pressed against a patient's acupoint. After a while, the acupressure rod 1 is separated from the acupoint and this operation is repeatedly used.

  When the distal end portion 2a of the acupressure rod 1 according to the present invention is pressed against the acupoint of the human body, both metals constituting the rod body 1 and the plating layer 3 are ionized by moisture contained in the vicinity of the human skin. A potential difference corresponding to the standard electrode potential difference is generated between the two metals, and a weak current flows through the rod body 1 made of a metal having excellent conductivity, which acts on a biological current or nerve flowing through the human body. It is estimated that it improves blood flow and relieves pain.

  Furthermore, by making the rear end 1b of the rod body 1 a mirror surface, electromagnetic waves, particularly far infrared rays, are emitted by the action of a weak current and light received from the outside. As a result of activating and promoting natural healing power, it is presumed that the above-described weak current acts to further enhance the therapeutic effect. For reference, FIG. 3 shows a spectroscopic element table.
