The simplest device for finding biologically active points. Wholesale online store of Chinese goods

Methods are widely used to correct the state of the body. stimulation biologically active points (BAT). or acupuncture points. (this was already discussed in the article Device for reflexology).

Difficulties in the application of these methods arise due to the difficulty of finding these very biopoints on the human body, since their area does not exceed 1 mm2.

By controlling the resistance of the skin areas in the places where BAPs are supposed to be located by the proposed device, it is possible to find them easily and unambiguously. The device is housed in a metal case measuring 96x38x39 mm. In the body are circuit diagram, battery and switch. An insulator of the active search electrode is fixed on one end side of the body, and indication LEDs are on the other side. The passive electrode is a metal case, which is held in the hand when searching for BAPs.
The picture shows diagram of a device for searching for biologically active points on the human body.

An active search electrode is connected to the inverting input of the comparator DA1. Resistor R1 determines the input impedance of the device, capacitor C1 serves to filter interference, resistor R2 limits the current of indicator LEDs HL1...HL3. The variable resistor R4 regulates the voltage supplied to the human body (through the fingers holding the device case). Resistors R3 and R5 limit the voltage variation. The voltage between the search and passive electrodes is not more than 5 V, the current is not more than 0.5 μA. The current consumption of the device in standby mode is 1 mA. and if the LEDs are lit - 5 ... bmA.

The device is made on a printed circuit board, the drawing of which is shown in Fig.2. It contains all the details, except for the LEDs and the battery. The board is designed to use a variable resistor SPZ-9a, it is installed on the board on a L-shaped bracket. Near the handle of the resistor, you can stick a scale (for example, from 10 divisions). The remaining resistors are of the MLT type. power button - MP-7 microswitch. LEDs - AL307B. The device is powered by the Krona battery.
The design of the search electrode allows you to normalize its pressure on the skin surface. The drawing of the insulator with the search electrode installed in it is shown in Fig.3. The insulator is made of organic glass, ebonite or fluoroplastic, and the pin from the ShR connector (02 mm) is best suited for the electrode. These connectors have silver-plated pins.
For the convenience of finding points on the surface of the head, back or legs. it is better to make one of the LEDs remote and connect it to the body with wires 0.5 ... 1 m long. If BAT is searched for on a visible area of the skin. then after finding the point, you can slightly press
to the electrode. Then a clearly visible imprint of the insulator will remain on the surface of the skin, the center of which will be the desired BAP.

Purpose

The device-pen for determining and stimulating acupuncture points "Poisk-02" is used to search for and accurately determine the location of biologically active points (BAP), as well as for treatment by electrical stimulation on the found points and mechanical stimulation (acupressure) of low intensity.

The movement of the search electrode along the surface of the body is accompanied by a light and sound (acoustic) signal. Correct detection of a point is characterized by a continuous glow of the indicator and a continuous sound. As you move away from the acupuncture point, the blinking of the indicator becomes more and more rare (up to complete disappearance), as well as the sound signal.

Acupuncture device "Search" is recommended for professional use in medical institutions. The product is certified and registered in the state register of medical equipment products Federal Service for health care supervision. Registration certificate No. ФС 02012006/3728-06.

The search acupuncture machine is safe, small-sized, lightweight, easy to operate, has comfortable shape ballpoint pen.

The device is powered by two standard, easily replaceable batteries.

Warranty for the device "Poisk": 12 months, inexpensive post-warranty service. Average service life is 5 years.

Acupressure probes

The device for finding points "Search" can be additionally equipped with probes for mechanical massage (acupressure) on the found points.

The work of the stimulator is based on the effect that in a place where the active point is located close to the surface of the skin, the resistance of the human body decreases sharply.

This can be easily checked even with an ordinary tester, included in the measurement of maximum resistance (usually 2 MΩ), if you hold one of its probes in your hand and touch different parts of the body with the other. The resistance of different sections will vary quite noticeably. Thus, the operation of the device is based on the effect of changing the resistance of different parts of the body.

Several drawings of maps of acupuncture points on the body

The circuit is a simple pulse generator whose frequency is determined by the RC circuit. Here, R is the resistance at this particular point of the human body. Since the resistance at different points is different, the generation frequency will also be noticeably different. The frequency will be the higher, the lower the resistance of the skin area. Therefore, the procedure for finding a biologically active point (BAP) is to search for a point area of the skin, where the frequency of LED flashing and the sound of the piezo emitter will be the highest. In this case, one of the electrodes is a metal plate on the body of the device (or the body of the device itself, if it is metal), which provides reliable contact with the hand, and the second is a metal pin, by moving which over the skin BAP are searched for. Power can be from any batteries or accumulators with a voltage of 4.5 to 12 V.

A simple pulse generator is assembled on a microcircuit. This can be a digital MS type K561LA7 (shown in the diagram). It contains 4 NAND elements in one package. You can apply others, for example, K561LA9, where there are 2 elements AND-NOT, but with three inputs:

The power of the generated pulses with such a microcircuit will increase. Or others, similar to MCs of the 561, 174, 164, 155 series. But in this case, the possibility of a different pinout and the supply voltage range of the microcircuit should be taken into account. MS with OR-NOT elements are also suitable:

The diode bridge generates pulses of a certain polarity. Its diodes can be any low-power ones, for example, KD520, 521, 522, etc. The LED-indicator is also any, the brightness of its glow can be adjusted with a tuning resistor VR1 (its resistance cannot be reduced to zero, otherwise the LED may burn out!) Therefore, it is better to choose a constant resistor of the required value. A piezo emitter can be installed, you can not install it. It does not affect the normal operation of the device in any way and is only needed for audible indication of the operation of the device, if necessary. It can be of types ZP-1, ZP-2, ZP-4, ZP-5.

PCB and parts layout

Download the board drawing here. The homemade stimulator does not require any adjustment. Connect the power and, if all the elements are working, it immediately starts working. In the initial state, when the resistance between the electrodes is high, the generator does not generate anything. The LED may be on all the time, or not on at all. When the probes are touched, generation begins. The LED starts flashing more often, the less resistance between the probes and, therefore, the closer the biologically active point. When hit directly on the BAP point, the LED flashes with the maximum frequency. When used in a sound emitter circuit, the sound also reaches its maximum frequency. When the probe is held on the BAP, it is stimulated by a pulsed current.

In the specialized literature and other sources, there are recommendations on which pulses of which polarity are best to influence the BAP. As a rule, it is recommended to act with negative impulses. In this case, the second, positive electrode should be held in the hand, or applied to another place (recommendations from the doctor should be obtained about this). You can add a switch to the device for convenience and use it to change the polarity of the impact pulses. How to do this is shown in the figure below:

You can assemble the electrostimulator in any suitable case made of plastic or metal. If the body is metal, then one of the electrodes should be connected to the body. If the case is made of a dielectric, then a metal plate or foil should be glued to it, connected to one of the electrodes.

DEVICES FOR SEARCHING ACUPUNCTURE POINTS WITH YOUR HANDS

Two simple instrument schemes for finding biologically active points

Below, two simple circuits devices for finding acupuncture (biologically active) points of a person. These devices use the search for points by their conductivity (resistance). Acupuncture points show relatively low electrical resistance, fixed on an area of \u200b\u200babout 2 mm2 and equal to approximately 800 kOhm and below, and already at a distance of 2 mm from this point, the resistance increases to approximately 1.4 MΩ. Actual resistance values may vary from those specified by ±20%.

Acupuncture points are also characterized by increased pain sensitivity.

The device "Bio-search" (Fig. 1) is made on the K561LA7 microcircuit. On the element DD1.1, a threshold element is made, on the elements DD1.2, DD1.3 - a generator that controls the operation of the indication. The LED AL307 and a small-sized loudspeaker of the DEMSH or TM-2 type are used as indicators.

The passive electrode (“Bracelet”) and the active (“Probe”) must be made of brass. The name "Bracelet" has remained from similar devices of the old type, in which the passive electrode was really made in the form of a bracelet. In new devices, the passive electrode is made in the form of a brass tube 01 ... 3 cm and 15 cm long, to which a wire is soldered from the inside to connect to the device.

The active electrode is a piece of brass rod or thick brass wire 03 mm and 12 cm long. It is inserted inside any plastic or wooden tube (the body of the pen from which the writing rod is removed is suitable). A connecting wire is also soldered to the probe. The front, working part of the probe, protruding from the pen for a length of about 1 cm, should be rounded and well polished.

When setting up the device, it is necessary to adjust the threshold element DD1.1, for which the resistor R2 is selected in such a way that the device indication works confidently when the resistance between the probe and the bracelet drops to about 800 kOhm.

When looking for acupuncture points, you need to smoothly, without pressure, drive the probe over the skin - like a pencil on paper, holding the bracelet in your other hand. For a trial search for points, you can try to drive the probe along the outside of the hand. The points located near the nails of each of the fingers are usually easily detected by this device.

The device "Micro-ELAP" (Fig. 2) can be used both in the search mode for acupuncture points, and in the treatment mode. You need to feed "Micro-ELAP" only from accumulators or batteries. It is impossible to power this device from the network, even through a transformer! Switch S2 sets the positive or negative polarity of the probe (active electrode) relative to the bracelet (passive).

The device "Micro-ELAP" has an arrow and sound indication. On the elements DD1.1, DD1.2, a generator is made to search for points with a pulse signal. The generator on the elements DD1.3, DD1.4 is used for indication. Pulse signal frequency in the range of 0.9 ... 10 Hz. When searching, when the probe hits the acupuncture point, there is a sharp decrease in the resistance between the bracelet and the probe. This leads to the fact that the control input of the sound generator, assembled on the elements DD1.3, DD1.4, receives high level allowing it to work.

It is desirable to adjust the device so that the current strength through the dial indicator PA1 does not exceed 15 μA. The Micro-ELAP instrument uses a microammeter with a total deflection drain of 100 μA. If the device is used only in the point search mode, then a 50 μA microammeter can be used. For a more detailed acquaintance with electro-acupuncture, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with special literature, for example, with.

We equip a private house

Devices for electropuncture

Therefore, using such a device at home, it is difficult to harm. Using simple sets of points from atlases on acupressure and reference books on oriental reflexology, you can get good results in the treatment of certain diseases, in the removal of pain syndromes. Effective treatment of lumbago and sciatica (tested on my own experience), with pain in the joints. Of course, it is unrealistic to treat chronic diseases at home without a medical education, but it is quite possible to help yourself and loved ones in some situations.

The design of the device is a plastic case with working panel, on which the measuring head of the microammeter and control knobs are located. One of the connectors of the device is connected to a copper electrode (which is convenient to hold in the hand), the other connector is connected to a movable probe electrode, which is a plastic handle with a silver-plated electrode about 3 mm in diameter, which is placed on the BAP. The device is powered by a 9 volt battery type "Krona".

The search for biologically active points is carried out according to the atlas, after some time the skill and knowledge of the main points are acquired.

By shorting the probes to each other, the Current knob sets the current short circuit about 80 microamps. Then the copper electrode is taken in the hand opposite to the side where the BAP is located, the movable electrode is placed on the point with a slight pressure. The current in a biologically active point almost does not depend on the condition of the skin, and in the main it depends on the state of the meridian, its ability to pass energy, on the purity and health of the body. In the first few seconds after installing the movable electrode, the device shows an insignificant current (1-10 μA), there are no sensations.

After some time, a pleasant (or painful) tingling begins, and the instrument needle begins to rise to a value of about 60 μA. It is necessary to hold for a few seconds until the values \u200b\u200bare fixed, then “pump” the point using polarity reversal. To do this, press the "polarity reversal" button and hold it, observing the reaction of the point to the polarity change on the device. She makes a small quick surge, then, after a little thought, begins to reduce the current to very small values. After waiting for the arrow to drop, release the button and wait for the current to increase to 60 μA.

Thus, we “pump” the biologically active point. During these manipulations, there may be some pain syndromes at the point, with severe pain, you just need to reduce the current. As a rule, the most painful are the points that are responsible for the diseased organ.

The behavior of the current in the BAP described above during treatment and polarity reversal takes place at a “healthy” point. If there are deviations from the norm, then the arrow behaves differently. The point may not “break through” for a very long time, that is, it may not enter the current transmission mode of 60 μA, and the reaction to a polarity change may be different. This indicates a deviation in the state of the BAP, therefore, it is necessary to periodically act on it.

An ordinary device for electropuncture, the so-called Lednev-Usachev device, published in the FIS journal, is shown in Scheme 1. The scheme is so simple that it does not require description. The current is regulated by a variable resistor, an additional resistor is needed to prevent accidental short circuits when setting the current. The button reverses the polarity. It is convenient to power the device from a Krona-9 volt battery, it is small in size and lasts for a long time.

For a more effective "breakthrough" of the point of influence, a device circuit with a short-term increase in the applied voltage is used. When you press the "breakdown" button, three times the battery voltage is applied to the BAT. For an effective "breakdown" of the BAP, briefly press the button several times, following the behavior of the arrow. With an increase in current and a tingling sensation, release the button and then carry out a regular treatment of the point. The scheme of the device for electropuncture with the "breakdown" function is given in Scheme 2.

In this circuit, the applied voltage is increased by connecting pre-charged capacitances in series. When the “breakdown” button is released, the capacitances are charged to the battery voltage, when the button is pressed, they are switched on in series. To limit the current at increased voltage, another additional resistor is used.

When working with BAPs, it often becomes necessary to analyze the state of “untreated” points or first to find “excited” BAPs. So the points responsible for certain internal organs, when symptoms of the disease of this organ appear, they have a reduced electrical resistance, and can be detected using a special search unit. This is due to the need for primary diagnosis of BAP and is used in practice. For these purposes, the following device circuit was made (Scheme 3) with a search block on transistors, which gives an indication of the state of the point by the glow of the signal LED and by sound signal. The signal triggering current is calibrated according to a known “healthy” point, then a search is made for “excited” BAPs. In many cases, reverse polarity searching is effective. To do this, the device has a fixed polarity switch. The rest of the device circuit and work with it is the same.

Such a device is already quite enough to effectively act on biologically active points, "treating" them.

The effect on BAP can be tonic and sedative. In Eastern reflexology (acupuncture), this is achieved by different types of needles and exposure time. In electropuncture, the achievement of a tonic or sedative effect is achieved by using pulsed exposure. Research has revealed what frequencies and polarities of the affecting impulses and during what time produce this or that effect. Therefore, for efficient operation, a pulse generator was added to the device. To control the generator, a graduated frequency switch and a pulse type switch are used.

And in order for the device to become completely professional, a block of electropuncture diagnostics according to Ryodorak has been added to it. This requires a 12 volt battery, a time delay circuit (3-4 seconds) and a current meter up to 200 microamps.

A diagram of such a device is shown in Figure 4.

Having such a device, any attending physician practicing electropuncture will be able to perform diagnostics and perform the necessary treatment. Ways of data processing, analysis of the state of the meridians, appointment of points of influence and modes, this is a separate and very large topic.

With the availability of computer technology, this can be done software methods, which speeds up data processing. This is already a topic of great medicine and scientific dissertations.

Do-it-yourself electroacupuncture device

Amateur electropuncture devices

The article is addressed mainly to medical radio amateurs (especially neurologists, neurophysiologists, reflexologists), as well as radio amateurs interested in questions of biophysics. Those who are interested in the above questions or who are already professionally involved in electropuncture should make an effort to independently find theoretical and practical manuals on this issue in the scientific literature. The issues discussed in the article are presented in a popular way, although this does not mean that some provisions will be understood by people with a technical (engineering) education "at a glance". You may have to be patient and a couple of dictionaries-encyclopedias of the "biological" direction. In any case, the approaches of "techies", such as - "tighten the nut - the car is moving, but not twisted - it is standing", are not acceptable to biological systems. On the other hand, the issues of instrument circuitry, for sure, will seem “poorly simple” to professionals, in fact, as well as the very description of the operation of the instruments.

From the above, it is easy to guess that the author, taking his work seriously, should take care of the doctor's first commandment - "do no harm!". So why then state something about this rather exotic type of therapy?

But, firstly, the work is popularizing and does not at all pretend to be a practical guide for beginners. Secondly. Pharmacies sell many drugs (and even without prescriptions) that are both potent and effective for various diseases. But it is unlikely that someone will take them without consulting a doctor ... It could be worse!

I. General provisions.

The specificity of electropuncture (EP) is not actually something beyond the scope of classical acupuncture (AP), but differs only in the degree of preparedness of the specialist in the field of AP. It is necessary to know the topography of biologically active points (BAP), for which there is an individual length segment called “cun”, atlases of the BAP topography on the skin of the human body, a system of meridians responsible for certain functional features the human body, etc. At the same time, there is still no single theory explaining the mechanism of action of acupuncture on the human body from the point of view of the achievements of modern biology.

EP devices usually have the "Search for BAP" mode, which somewhat simplifies finding these points.

The practical application of BAP, taking into account the location, direction of action and innervation connections, distinguishes the following groups:

points general action that have a reflex effect on the functional state of the central nervous system;
segmental points located in the area of skin metameres corresponding to the zone of innervation of certain segments of the spinal cord;
spinal points located along the vertebral and paravertebral lines, respectively, at the exit point of the nerve roots and autonomic fibers that innervate certain organs and tissue systems;
regional points located in the area of projection onto the skin of certain internal organs;
local points that mainly affect the underlying tissues (muscles, blood vessels, ligaments, joints).

For those who do not have AP skills, finding points, even having at hand a topographic atlas of BAP on human skin, is a difficult issue, because. it is necessary in each case to use the individual proportions of a particular patient. Instrumental determination of BAP location also requires at least basic knowledge of acupuncture, namely BAP topography, otherwise the therapeutic effect will be doubtful.

2. Features of electropuncture.

The impact on BAP by electric current is called electropuncture (EP). The search for BAP is carried out by reduced electrical skin resistance (EX). It should be remembered that the electrical resistance in the BAP zone is less than in the area surrounding it.

In order to avoid electrical or thermal breakdown of tissues in the BAP area, it is necessary that:

the voltage was not higher than 9 volts;
the current density was not more than 10 A/cm;
stimulation intensity did not exceed 500 μA.

In the devices under consideration, these principles are fully observed.

Since the irritating effect of the current depends on the amplitude (current strength), voltage, pulse polarity and excitability threshold, the following recommendations should be followed:

impulses of negative polarity have a tonic effect;
pulses of positive polarity have a sedative effect;
in the case of using bipolar pulses, the effect will depend on the amplitude and duration of the pulse repetition period;
performing an EP session, the selected current strength (amplitude) is not necessarily set; they are guided by the patient's sensations (tingling, burning sensation), because often an individual sensitivity threshold requires less current and vice versa.

3. Circuit engineering of amateur electropuncture devices.

An example of a simple and at the same time multifunctional device is a circuit that was widespread in the late 70s of the last century and meets the above requirements. Assembled on a discrete element base using germanium p-n-p transistors, the device allows you to search for BAP by a reduced ECS (Fig. 1). The search for a point is carried out using the UPT scheme (T5-T7), while the indication is carried out by the LED1 LED and a pointer indicator in the active probe circuit. A generator based on a symmetrical multivibrator generates current pulses of different polarity (including diode D1 in a circuit in different directions using switch S2) and duration (paired R4-R6, C1, C2) in automatic mode, and by supplementing the circuit by switching common outputs S1.2- S1.4, bipolar pulses can also be obtained. BAP stimulation can also be performed in manual mode (+ or -) by pressing the S3 button. Thus, it is possible to speak about the functional state of the BAP by comparing the magnitude of the current of negative and positive polarity flowing through the BAP. The device uses a sensitive microammeter with an average zero point, which simplifies the switching of the circuit in different operating modes and facilitates the visualization of the disproportion of current of different polarity through a point. The current strength is set by R3. When setting up the device, you should choose the sensitivity threshold by changing the value of R11, which is the most acceptable in terms of searching for points in each specific case.

The device is powered by a 9 v battery, which makes the device absolutely safe.

Somewhat simpler is a device assembled on widely used silicon n-p-n transistors conductivity (Fig. 2). It uses a more common microammeter (without an average zero point), the mode of manual stimulation of the BAP is removed, from a symmetrical multivibrator, depending on the position of S1 and S2, you can get:

positive DC pulses;
negative DC pulses;
bipolar impulses (+/-) direct current.

The frequency of the pulses is regulated stepwise by switching the matched R4-R13 with a two-gallet S3 to five positions ("Frequency"):

in 1 min. in 1 min. 5 - 0.8 in 1 min. 2 - 8 in 1 min. 4 - 1.2 in 1 min.

The frequency of unipolar impulses (+ or -) is half as much. The current strength is adjustable from 0 to 100 µA using R1 (“Patient Current”) (combined with the device switch S4).

"Search" - search for BAT by reduced EKS;
"Bipolar stimulation" (+/-);
"Stimulation is monopolar" (either + or -).

Indication of operation - in the "Search" mode, the LED3 LED lights up and the arrow of the microammeter deviates. During stimulation, the arrow of the microammeter deviates when a positive or negative pulse is received (selected depending on the position of the switch S1 "Positive pulse", "Negative pulse"). For clarity of operation of the device in the stimulation mode, instead of R3, R14 in the circuit, you can install chains of an LED and a resistor.

4. Basic principles of work with electroacupuncture devices.

Using the example of the last scheme (Fig. 2), we will consider the basic principles of working with the device for searching and stimulating BAP.

After connecting the battery, the "Operating Mode" switch knob is set to the "Search" position, and the polarity switch to the "Positive pulse" position.

The device is turned on with the “Patient Current” knob. For the convenience of visual control, the "patient current" is set within the middle part of the microammeter scale (30 - 50 μA).

The negative (passive) electrode is connected (attached) to the inner surface of the wrist joint, lower leg, etc. through a wet gauze pad.

The positive (active) electrode searches for BAP in the topographic location of its possible location. If BAT is found, the LED lights up and the arrow of the electrical measuring device deviates to the right.

The instrumental search for BAP requires certain skills: the ECS depends on the force of pressing the active electrode on the skin, optimizing the contact of the passive electrode with the skin through a wet pad, and so on.

The found BAP is marked on the skin with a felt-tip pen and, leaving the active electrode at this point, the “Operating mode” switch is switched to the “Stimul.bipolar.” (or "Stimul.monopolar").

In the "Stimul.monopolar" position the polarity of the pulses is selected by switch S1 "+" or "-". The same switch switches the measurement of the patient's current to the positive or negative part of the pulse in the "Bipolar" mode of operation.

When working in the "Unipolar" mode, you should not change the positions of the active and passive electrodes (+ and -), because this switching occurs automatically when a certain mode of operation (type of stimulation) is selected.

The modern elemental base makes it possible to use generators based on operational amplifiers in the circuits of devices for conducting EP. At one time, experiments were carried out with the OS K140UD1B. The principle of constructing such circuits is clear from Fig. 3. The scheme provides not only stimulation of BAPs with direct current pulses of different polarity (or bipolar), but also reflects the desire to bring their shape closer to the so-called "action potentials". This is achieved by introducing capacitances in series with each output. A display unit is assembled on the transistor T1 and the LED1 LED. The shape of the pulse (as well as the frequency and amplitude of the output) when setting up and operating the device is conveniently controlled using an oscilloscope. The values of some circuit elements are selected experimentally.

Electroacupuncture stimulator with ohmmeter

Electroacupuncture is a modern version of classical acupuncture, in which the so-called active points on the skin of the human body are excited by electrical impulses. Electroacupuncture does not use needles and therefore this method is most suitable for those patients who are afraid of infection during acupuncture, as well as for those who want to do electroacupuncture on their own.

To stick around the search for active points, together with the stimulator, I used an electronic ohmmeter on the LED. The measurement limit of the ohmmeter is G MΩ. Numerous measurements have shown that the resistance of the skin at active points is approximately 1 MΩ. Schematic diagram of the stimulator is shown in Fig.1. The stimulator is made on four inverters and a transistor key VT1. The first two inverters form an asymmetric multivibrator, at the output of which another pair of inverters is connected, connected in parallel as an inverted buffer. With the help of capacitor C2 and diode VD3, pulses are generated with an amplitude almost equal to twice the supply voltage. In practice, the stimulator can be used when the supply voltage is reduced to 5 V, but at the same time, it decreases accordingly. and the amplitude of the output pulses. The ohmmeter is made on two transistors VT2 and VT3, forming a DC amplifier (UCA) with a high input impedance. Resistors R6 and R7 limit the base current of the transistors, eliminating their saturation mode. Capacitor C4 creates a negative circuit feedback on alternating current. Resistor R8 determines the upper limit of measurement. The device is powered by a Krona battery. Scheme printed circuit board shown in Fig.2

The device is mounted in a small plastic case, which contains a circuit of a stimulator with an ohmmeter and a probe connected to the case with a four-wire cord from handset. The probe contains two electrodes: active and passive, as well as a push-button switch for the type of work. The active electrode is made in the form of a pointed rod with a radius of curvature at the end of 0.3-0.4 mm. The passive electrode must be in the form of a rod or a plate. Both probes are made of stainless steel with subsequent polishing. To use the stimulator, it is necessary to clamp the passive electrode with the fingers of the left hand. With the tip of the active electrode, we touch the place of the proposed location of the active point, which should be slightly moistened before that. When this point is correctly located, the LED on the device lights up. Then, by pressing the button located on the probe, we switch the device to stimulation mode. To do this, using a potentiometer, the amplitude of the pulses increases according to your feelings. Usually the most preferred is the mode in which a slight tingling sensation is felt. This point is stimulated for 15 - 20 seconds. it is undesirable to stimulate many points in one session, as well as points located on the head. The probe uses a switch KM2-1, consisting of two microswitches. The passive electrode is connected to the probe using a miniature connector used in transistor receivers for connecting telephones.

Obtaining information about the state of human health
by his hand

If we see that the leaves of the plant began to dry out, then we understand that it lacks water and needs to be watered urgently.
By the condition of the leaves and branches, we can quickly determine the condition of the roots of the plant. The same is with us.

According to the data of modern medicine, 95% of all information about the state of health can be obtained by examining the senses (eyes, auricles, tongue, foot, palms).

Our palm is a holographic picture of the entire human body.
It accurately reflects the state of the internal organs of a person and the existing diseases.
No matter what disease a person suffers from, the disease always originates within the body.
And our hands, like the leaves of a tree, showing the state of its roots, are the first to reflect the state of the internal organs.

Therefore, by studying the hands, we can quickly get an accurate and detailed information about the state of human health.
Hands are a visual "barometer" of health.

But how do they reflect the state of our body?

The emergence of a method for diagnosing diseases by hand

We all have hands, but do you know how many secrets are hidden in them?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are acupuncture points on the fingers that are closely related to the internal organs.
If the tip of any finger is very sore, then the corresponding organ is sick.
You can try pressing two fingers of one hand on the fingertip of the other hand at the base of the nail. Move from little finger to thumb.
Each finger is responsible for a specific organ.
The occurrence of pain when pressing on the finger means a violation of the work of a certain organ.

In China, hand diagnostics have existed for many centuries.
There is a saying: “If the channels are passable, there is no pain. When pain occurs, the channels are impassable.
It means that during illness, acupuncture points located on the meridians (Ching-lo channels) become indicators that transmit information about the disease,
and reflect pathological changes occurring in the body.

In the era of the Warring States (Zhanguo period), the famous physician Bian Que began to use the method of diagnosing diseases by hand.
More than 2000 years ago, in the medical treatise Huang Di Nei Jing, it was noted that the body is a single whole; a malfunction of one of the organs is reflected in other organs.

The ancient medical treatise "Ling Shu" contains records of diagnostic methods along lines in the palm of your hand and methods of treatment by influencing points located on the hand.

The main theories of diagnostics by hand

The channels located on the hands are connected with the internal organs of the human body. Changes in the internal organs are reflected in the hands.
By stimulating the acupuncture points, the disease can be identified and cured.
(If a person faints, you need to press the “ren-zhong” point with your thumb
under the nose, then the person wakes up faster.)

On the palms, the channels “Show-san-yang” and “Show-san-yin” merge.
In total, six channels intersect on the palms, closely connected with the internal organs. Therefore, violations of the internal organs can be detected by the hand.
We can say that the palm is a transmitter of "distress signals" from our internal organs.
Different parts of the hands are responsible for different organs of the human body.

The main value of hand diagnostics is the definition
and health prognosis

This is not available even to many modern devices.

For example, it is very difficult to detect cardiovascular and oncological diseases at an early stage using medical devices. They are often detected only in the middle and last stages.

The incubation period of the disease makes these devices helpless.
But the palms always show signs of disease - even at an early stage!

Hand diagnostics can provide us with accurate information about diseases, especially incurable diseases, for prevention and treatment purposes.

Hand diagnostics is a huge system of knowledge, which is very difficult to master in its entirety.
But you can remember simple things that are sure to come in handy in life.

The Aculife acupuncture device of Tianshi Corporation is a diagnostic device created on the basis of centuries-old teachings about the channels of "jing-lo" of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture methods
using advanced technologies.
The device is simple and easy to use.

Acquaintance with the acupuncture device "Aculife"

There are 12 meridians on both hands of a person, including 86 jing points and 224 qi points.
There are many acupuncture points on our hands that are responsible for the internal organs of the body.
The points located on the palms are associated with the organs located on the front side of the body, and the points on the back of the hand are associated with the organs located on the back side of the body.
Regardless of whether pathological changes occur in the body,
all information comes into our hands along the meridians.
The device "Akulife" with the help of electromagnetic waves stimulates the acupuncture points located on the hands, and thus improves the functioning of the internal organs.

Instructions for use of the acupuncture device "Akulife" "Tiens"

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly!

When working at home, you should use an adapter: after the batteries are discharged, the device’s action weakens, it does not work at full capacity.

Contraindications:

Before diagnosing, be sure to check for the absence of any of the following factors. If at least one of them is present, diagnostics are prohibited.

Presence of a pacemaker
Eating and drinking within the next hour
Pregnancy
Age up to 3 years
The presence of malignant neoplasms
Bleeding and open wounds

Preparatory process

Remove metal objects (rings, earrings, watches).
Before use, insert the actuating element into the hole located on the top of the device (insert the plug into the socket).
Choose the right ear tip. The protruding parts of the ear tip should be located below and directed towards the auricle. Insert the tip into your ear. Make sure that the eartip fits snugly against the skin, applying light pressure with your hand if necessary.
Wrap and fasten the tape with Velcro around your forearm (adjust the tension of the tape to your comfort).
Place the induction plates under the tape, they should be in contact with the skin.
Start diagnostics (according to the scheme of acupuncture points of the palm).
- If the induction plate is located on the left forearm, the sensor should be used on the left palm: the plate and acupuncture points should be on the same side of the body.
- Keep the device switched off until the end of the preparatory process!
Turn on the device, make sure that the switch is in the "Diagnostics" ("Detect") position

Main points of stimulation

Use a small amount of force directed precisely at the Shao-shan point.

Attention: the acting element must be located strictly perpendicular to the skin surface!

Power regulation

Increase power gradually, one division at a time.
The correct power level is when you feel a strong tingling sensation at the Shao-shan point.
If the power level is insufficient, it becomes difficult to diagnose.
After setting the optimal power level with slow sliding movements, carry out diagnostics according to the existing scheme of acupuncture points of the hand
(first - thumb, then - palm).

Different kinds response to electrical impulses.

Feeling the impact of a light electrical impulse is a normal reaction of the body.
Feeling the impact of a strong electrical impulse (in the absence of tingling) means that there are hidden health problems in the absence of external manifestations (or poor health).
Light tingling - means the presence of certain problems, the periodic manifestation of symptoms of the disease.
Strong tingling - there are external symptoms of the disease (cold symptoms, hemorrhoid bleeding, insomnia, etc.). Sometimes a tingling sensation is felt in the absence of pronounced symptoms of the disease - in such cases, special attention and caution should be exercised.

Use of a personal card.

When you find a pain point, you should make a mark on your personal card with a pen or pencil.

Use of the device.

Press the "Relive" button and start the treatment procedure.

During treatment, adjust the power to your liking.

The greater the power of exposure, the more effective the result.
The acting element must be located strictly perpendicular to the acupuncture point. Regulation of the required power of the electric impulse. Button "Time Reset" (timing). The element must not be moved. Procedures should be carried out daily for 5-10 minutes. "Problem" acupuncture points should be stimulated for at least 5 minutes.
On interconnected points, conduct circular stimulation.
After the procedure, drink a glass of warm boiled water to improve the metabolic process.
Disconnect the wires from the device by holding them by the plug, do not pull directly on the wire itself. This will ensure long and efficient operation of the device.

"Akulife": questions and answers

During the procedure, is it necessary that the induction plate and the acupuncture point are on the same side of the body? When using Akulife, the induction plate and the acupuncture point should be located on the same side of the body (if we stimulate the left hand, the plate should be on the left side, if the right hand, then on the right). "Cross" use is not recommended, because there is even a minimal, but the risk of exposure to an electrical impulse on the heart.
Should the acting element be moved during the procedure? During the treatment procedure, the acting element should not be moved. It is possible, using rotational movements, to find a certain angle of impact that causes the strongest tingling. Try to keep a right angle with your palm.
Why does the procedure take 15 minutes? Can the procedure take longer? The first 15 minutes of stimulation are the most effective. As with sports, it is necessary to observe the measure. It is better not to carry out the procedure for more than 15 minutes, this can cause fatigue.
What power is the best electrical impulse to use during the procedure? Usually the treatment is carried out with an electrical impulse of such power that you can endure. The higher the power, the more effective the result.
Can I use the Aculife device immediately after taking a shower? Is it possible to take a shower immediately after the end of the Akulaif application procedure? You can do both, except for taking a cold shower. 7. Is using Akulife more effective in the morning or in the evening? The time of application of "Akulife" does not matter.
Is it necessary to make efforts during the Akulife procedure? What is the best way to use it? A little effort is enough. When using Akulife, you should not be too tense, otherwise traces may remain on the skin - a consequence of excessive effort.
When carrying out the procedure on large areas (for example, the stomach), is it possible to move the acting element? When stimulating large areas, it is necessary to find the most painfully responsive point. If pain is felt throughout the area, you should find the most painful points and stimulate them. During the procedure, do not move the acting element.
On the index finger, on top, is the area of \u200b\u200bthe hands. Hands are healthy, but tingling is felt, what can this mean? There may be several reasons for this:
1. old injuries;
2. arthritis or rheumatism; body aches as a result of meteorological dependence;
3. hand weakness;
4. recent exposure to the cold.
The blue inscription in the warranty card is the date of issue? The date indicated on the warranty card is compiled using traditional Taiwanese chronology (the country of origin of the device is Taiwan).

Taiwan chronology calculation method + 11 = conventional chronology (for example, 07/25/1997 would be 07/25/2008). You can also compare with the manufacturing date printed on the inside of the battery cover.

How much does Akulife cost?

By visiting any of the websites of the company "Tiens" or its distributors, you can easily find
the price of this device.

Depending on the geography, it is:

600 USD, 18.000 rubles or 4.920 UAH.

Don't jump to conclusions...

Let's first see if it's expensive or not.

Example #1 :

Let's take a family of 3 people (you can substitute your number).
We take into account that each of them can use the device on average 15-30 minutes a day,
which is quite normal and natural for the implementation of prevention, relieving fatigue, apathy, pain symptoms or increasing the body's defenses.

Let's calculate:

600:3:365 = 0.55 c.u. or 1.65 rubles. or 4.5 UAH. in a day

per family member in one year.

And, if we take into account that you will use the device for more than one year, but, for example, 10 years,
we get:

0.06 USD, 17 Russian kopecks or 50 Ukrainian kopecks per day

Do you think it's expensive???

How much is your health worth?

Is it priceless???

Example #2.

Do not forget that "Akulife" allows you to carry out high-information express diagnostics.
In 5-10 minutes you can find out the main problems in the health of any person,
pointing out its weak links that require immediate attention and strengthening.

How much does a diagnosis of this level cost today?
You can find the answer to this question on the Internet by entering the query "price express diagnostics of the body" into the search window of the browser.
You will receive numbers from 1000 to 5000 rubles and more.

Let's imagine that you decided to master the skills of diagnostics and, having filled your hand, decided to take a nominal fee of 300 rubles or 80 hryvnias for one session.
For example, let's say that on average you perform three express diagnostics per day.

Then it will turn out:

600: 10: 3 = 20
(so many days you need to
to recoup your investment in the Aculife device)

You can substitute any numbers in this example - but the result is, in any case,
You will be stunned.

Search for biologically active points

All this began much earlier than the appearance of historical materialism. And it started, it seems, in China. From Chinese sources it follows that the entire energy system human body system ka consists of 12 pairs

(main) and 2 unpaired meridians, which unite special points of active influence. For example, the location of these points on the chest and abdomen is shown in Fig. 1.

From each meridian there are branches to the corresponding organs, and inside the body all the internal passages of the meridians form a single energy channel from their plexuses. On the surface of the skin there are connecting channels between pairs of meridians (kolatali). Unpaired meridians at the exit (from inside the body) and at the entrance (inside) form ring collaterals.

Doctors of the ancient East created a coherent theory according to which the points located on the meridians act as "windows" for the absorption and release of energy.

The classical Chinese atlases contain descriptions of about 700 points. To date, a significant number of points located outside the meridians have been identified. In China, to accurately determine the points, the so-called "individual cun" is used - the distance formed between the folds of the skin on the middle phalanx when the third finger is bent (for men - on the left hand, for women - on the right). This is possible, of course, only taking into account the thousand-year experience accumulated in China.

What does a biologically active point (BAP) look like? This "point" can be up to 0.5 mm2 in size. Outwardly, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding skin.

When feeling in the region of the point, sometimes you can find a hole, thickening or rarefaction of the tissue, and pain is often felt. Pain when pressed is one of the signs that the point is found correctly.

Impact on the points changes their performance and causes a therapeutic effect. It is also noticed that the indicators of other points of this meridian also change, which confirms its existence. By the nature

Teru response BAP are divided into points of general and local action. Points of general action are located mainly on the arms and legs and have stimulating and normalizing properties. Besides

In addition, these points affect the corresponding internal organs (Fig. 2).

Points of local action are close to the corresponding part of the body and affect it.

With the current level of research, no pronounced differences in the structure of the point and surrounding tissues have been identified. The only feature was found under the influence of a weak direct current: in the region of the point, the electrical skin resistance is sharply reduced, that is, there is, as it were, a "hole" for the passage of current. The value of electroskin resistance depends on the functional state of the point and the organ associated with it.

This is the basis of diagnostic capabilities.

Dr. R. Voll was the first to make such an attempt. His methodology was built on the fusion of the foundations of classical Chinese acupuncture, homeopathy and modern empirical concepts. Studies have shown that there are many more nerve endings in the locations of biologically active points on the skin. Dr. Voll began to measure electrical potentials on the skin of people.

It is believed that the first device for measuring the electrical potentials of the skin was designed by Voll together with the engineer Werner in 1953.

Conducting research, Voll found potential values in "magic" Chinese points that differ from the potentials of very nearby areas.

The results of the experiments showed that the BAP locations are clearly defined electrical methods, which provide high accuracy and reliability of finding BAP. The applied technique is practically safe if the current passed through the human skin does not exceed tens of microamperes. "In addition, it is advisable not to use D.C., which due to

the inevitable electrolysis distorts the real picture of the BAP state. One of the first devices for determining the location of BAPs on the human body was a high-resistance ohmmeter, which measured the resistance of points on the skin.

Two diagrams of devices for finding acupuncture points are given in. These devices use the search for points by their conductivity. In acupuncture points, a relatively low electrical resistance is observed, fixed on an area of about 2 mm: and equal to approximately 800 kOhm, and already at a distance of 2 mm from this point, the resistance increases to approximately 1.4 MΩ. Real

values may differ from those specified by ±20%.

The "Bio-search" device (Fig. 3) is based on the K561J1A7 chip.

The element DD1 1 has a threshold element, and the elements DD1.2, DD1.3 - a generator that controls the operation of the display. The LED AL307 and a small-sized loudspeaker of the DEMSH or TM-2 type are used as indicators.

Passive electrode ("Bracelet") and active ("Probe") must be made of brass. The name "Bracelet" came from similar devices of the old type, in which the passive electrode was actually made in the form of a bracelet. In new devices, the passive electrode is made in the form of a brass tube with a diameter of 10 ... 30 mm and a length of approximately 150 mm, to which a wire is soldered from the inside to be connected to the device.

The active electrode is a piece of brass rod or thick brass wire 0.3 mm and 120 mm long, to which a connecting wire is also soldered. The core is inserted inside any plastic or wooden tube (the body of the pen, from which the writing core has been removed, will do). The front, working part of the probe, protruding from the pen to a length of about 10 mm, should be rounded and well polished.

When searching for acupuncture points, you need to smoothly, without pressure, drive the probe along the skin (like a pencil on paper), holding the bracelet in your other hand. For a trial search for BAP, you can try to drive the probe along the outside of the hand.

The points located near the nails of each of the fingers are usually easily detected by this device.

The "Micro-ELAP" device (Fig. 4) can be used both in the search mode for acupuncture points and in the treatment mode.

You need to feed "Micro-ELAP" only from accumulators or batteries. It is impossible to power this device from the network, even through a transformer! Switch S2 sets the positive or negative polarity of the probe (active electrode) relative to the bracelet.

"Micro-ELAP" has arrow and sound indication. On the elements DD1.1, DD1.2, a generator is made to search for points with a pulse signal. The generator on the elements DD1.3, DD1.4 is used for indication. Pulse signal frequency - in the range of 0.9...10 Hz. When searching, when the probe hits the acupuncture point, there is a sharp decrease in the resistance between the bracelet and the probe. This is at-

leads to the fact that the control input of the sound generator, assembled on the elements DD1.3, DD1.4, receives a high level, allowing its operation.

It is desirable to adjust the device so that the current through the dial indicator PA1 does not exceed 15 μA (a microammeter with a full deflection current of 100 μA is used).

If the device is used only to search for points, then you can take a 50 μA microammeter.

A simple device for searching for BAP is given in. Active point search node (Fig. 5) is made on three transistors VT1 ... VT3 and LED VD1

The search circuit is a comparator amplifier. When the electrode hits the active point, the LED lights up and a slight tingling sensation is felt. The device can also be used to influence BAP with low-frequency electrical impulses, which in some cases has a therapeutic effect. Switch S2 connects a pulse generator made on a DD1 chip. Switch S1 changes the polarity of the current acting on the point, as a result of which the nerve channel is inhibited or excited.

The device has the dimensions of a toothbrush case with a search electrode in the form of a rounded needle with a diameter of 1 mm. The second electrode ("mass") is made from a segment of a telescopic antenna and is connected to the device through a wire about 1 m long. When searching for an active point, this electrode is clamped in the hand. Switches S1, S2 are made of paired microswitches. Two handles of variable resistors are installed on the device body: R2 - "Influence current" and R8 - "Influence frequency", with a graduated scale. The Krona battery is used as a power source. To test the device in the "Search" mode, set the maximum exposure current and close the electrodes.

At the same time, the LED should light up.

To search for BAT, we offer our own development, which uses double signal conversion (Fig. 6).

Using a variable resistor RP1, the required level of the probing signal is set, which is fed to the input of the first balanced modulator, made on the operational amplifier DA1.2 and the field effect transistor VT1. The control input of the balanced modulator is connected to the output of the control oscillator at the op-amp DA1.1. The generator periodically switches the polarity of the output voltage of the balanced modulator, turning it into an alternating one, but at the same time maintaining its amplitude. ) and the input of the operational amplifier DA1.3. To protect DA1.3 from failure when a high potential enters its input, protection on diodes VD2 and VD3 is introduced into the circuit.

The signal level at the DA1.3 input is proportional to the resistance at the point of contact of the probe with the patient's skin. This makes it possible, by estimating the magnitude of the signal, to find the location of the BAP. However, due to the fact that the probe is included in a high-resistance circuit, and the magnitude of the probing signal is comparable to the magnitude of possible interference (for example, interference from a 50 Hz mains), it is advisable to use a synchronous detector for signal processing. A balanced modulator based on a DA1.4 chip and a VT2 field-effect transistor is used as a synchronous detector. The control input of the balanced modulator (the gate of the transistor VT2) is connected to the generator output on DA1.1, as is the control input of the balanced modulator on DA1.2. Thus, the first balanced modulator on DA1.2 modulates the signal, and demodulates (synchronous detection) - with a balanced modulator on DA1.3. Figure 7a shows the signal shape at the input of the synchronous detector, and Fig. 7b at its output.
