The present invention relates to the technical field of massage instruments, and in particular to preparation of an internal massager and application thereof.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the acupuncture point massage on the human body may dredge the meridians and have effects for preventing diseases, curing diseases or health care. Huangdi Neijing reports: “Diseases with clinical manifestation as numbness of the body are resulted from panic and the meridian block, which can be treated with massage and wine.” This indicates that massage can be used to cure diseases. The modern medical research shows that massage mainly stimulates peripheral nerves and thereby promotes the blood, lymphatic circulations and the metabolism in tissues. It balances the functions between various tissues and organs, so that the metabolism in the body is improved. Clinical practice and animal experiments have also demonstrated that massage therapy has the effects in antiinflammation, defervescence, and immunity improvement, and therefore, massage therapy may enhance the body's resistance to diseases.
Luo Hong, a well-being practitioner in the Ming Dynasty, said in the Longevity Immortal Book: “Massage therapy can clean pores and harmonize qi and blood”. The expression harmonizing qi and blood here means regulation of qi and blood. This is the effect of Chinese massage. It uses a soft and light force applying at meridiansor acupuncture points of the body, balancing the whole body through conduction of meridians so as to reconcile the defensive Qi and blood nutrients, and thereby enhancing the health of the patient. Modern medical science believes that the mechanical stimulation of massage forms a combined action that converts the mechanical energy into heat energy, and one of the effects of Chinese massage is the increased temperature of local tissues, promoting capillary expansion, improving blood and lymph circulation, reducing blood viscosity, the peripheral vascular resistance and the burden on the heart, and therefore preventing or curing diseases.
Modern people are often living in a state of tension or nervousness which results in dysfunction of organs or even the whole body, manifested as neurosis, insomnia or forgetfulness. The Chinese massage works through meridians to improve the qi and blood circulate and the yin and yang balance. Therefore, after massage therapy the patient may feel muscle relaxation, joint flexibility, spiritual pleasure and fatigue elimination; which may result in a good sleep at night, an energetic feeling at the daytime, and finally a regular life, which in turn correct the imbalance among organs in the body. Moreover, massage therapy may also stimulate the appetite, increase the production of energy in the body, and improve the work efficiency. These effects of massage help the body to resist diseases. Therefore, a moderate massage in daily life may be beneficial to the physical and mental health. However, to date the Chinese massage is only implemented on the skin at different acupuncture points of the body, and the sensitivity of the skin to massage is poor compared to the internal surface or mucosa. Therefore, the stimulation caused by external massage on the skin is sometimes not strong enough and the therapeutic effects are not obvious.
The pharyngeal, esophageal and anorectal mucosal nerves are sensitive to physical stimulation, which accept either autonomic, sympathetic or parasympathetic regulations, and also produce local hormones or chemical factors that regulate the functions of the local or adjacent tissues and organs, such as the humoral regulatory factors intestinal 5-hydroxytryptamine and gastrin. Therefore, stimulation of the stated mucosa may improve gastrointestinal functions, promote food digestion and intestinal nutrition metaplasia, and enhance physical fitness and disease resistance. At the same time, stimulation of pharyngeal-esophageal and anorectal mucosal nerves may feedback to the central nervous system, resulting in the regulation of the whole body. The feedback of body activities such as eating, swallowing and egestion to the central nervous system may achieve the effects such as relaxation and sedation of the body.
Therefore, internal massager stimulating the nervous activity of the pharyngeal-esophageal and anorectal mucosa, just as the responses to eating, swallowing and egestion, may achieve the effects such as body relaxation, sedation, promotion of nutrition metaplasia, and improvement of disease resistance of the body. Based on these facts, the present invention provides preparation of an internal massager and the application thereof.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation technique of an internal massager and the application thereof in order to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art conventional massage.
Provided is the preparation of an internal massager, wherein the internal massager consists of a massage ball, a rod, a protecting cover and a handle; preparation of the internal massager includes the following steps: welding the massage ball to one end of the rod first, connecting the other end of the rod to the protecting cover, and then welding the handle to the side of the protecting cover away from the rod, so as to produce an internal massager.
Preferably, the number of the massage balls is 1 through 5, the diameter of the massage ball is from 0.5 to 3 in cm, and the massage balls are arranged at appropriate intervals on the rod if there are a plurality of massage balls.
