A soft electronic acupuncture device and its manufacturing method

technical field

The present invention relates to a soft electronic acupuncture device and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a soft electronic acupuncture device capable of freely selecting different voltages and frequencies and giving different stimulation options and a manufacturing method thereof.

Background technique

The history of the development of Chinese medicine is quite long, and many medical methods have always been a mystery. Only recently have Western scientists gradually discovered and started to study Chinese medicine. One of the most important parts is acupuncture. With the help of modern technology, acupuncture was used for acupuncture in the early days, and now electronic acupuncture has been developed.

Electronic acupuncture (high potential therapy device) puts the human body in an insulated state, generates a special electric field around the body through the action of high-voltage static electricity on various parts of the body, and acts on the lower part of the visual bed of the brain through the skin, nerves, feet and neurohumoral fluid. And the pituitary gland, acting on every cell of the body, stimulating the activity of the cells, so that the various organs and tissues of the human body can play their roles and functions normally.

Electronic acupuncture stimulates the active and low-functioning pancreatic islet cells through the regulation of the endocrine system, and restores the blood sugar of more than 60% of diabetic patients to normal, because this machine acts on each cell, maintains the function of the cell itself, and maintains the normal function of the cell. Balance the internal and external electrical circles, thereby regulating blood pressure and returning to normal, acting on the glandular mitochondria in the cells, restoring the active information transmission system, promoting the release of ATP energy, promoting metabolism, reducing and excreting various metabolic incomplete products, such as: making leukotrienes Reduce or lower, make allergic skin diseases, asthma, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases better, and long-term treatment can change allergic constitution into healthy constitution. High-potential therapy can increase the concentration of calcium ions in serum, reduce inorganic phosphorus, make the ratio of calcium and phosphorus reach a normal value, and keep the blood in a weak salty state, so it has curative effect on gout, dissolves urate crystals and is easy to excrete, and relieves unbearable pain. pain of. Acidic blood is more viscous, which tends to thin blood vessels and narrow the lumen, which is the direct cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The potential therapy device can make the blood salty, reduce free fatty acids, reduce low-density lipoprotein, and increase the effect of density lipoprotein, so it can reduce blood vessels, soften blood vessels, and reduce blood viscosity. The high-potential therapy device is a high-voltage electrical output , but because the current is very small, it is absolutely safe without harm to the human body.
