Abstract

The present invention provides an interchangeable multi-purpose healthcare apparatus comprising silicate-based ceramic materials containing tourmaline, said apparatus comprising a cylindrical bottle body (101) and different functional heads for different purposes. A top open end of said cylindrical bottle body is configured with a screw-type bottleneck (103) for connecting different functional heads according to different needs of the user. The present apparatus takes advantages of the far infrared ray, microcurrent and negative ions matching human bioelectricity which are emitted and transmitted by the silicate-based ceramic materials containing tourmaline, in association with the addition of liquids of different temperatures as massage medium, to allow suitable temperature adjustment of the user. Massage medium being functionalized by the tourmaline-containing ceramics can also be beneficial to human body. In combination with different functional heads and auxiliary materials, the present apparatus becomes a personalized and specialized apparatus for massage and auxiliary health care.

Claims

1. An interchangeable multi-purpose healthcare apparatus made of silicate-based ceramic materials containing tourmaline, the apparatus comprising a cylindrical bottle body and a functional head, wherein:

a top end of said cylindrical bottle body is configured with a screw-type bottleneck to connect with said functional head;

said functional head comprises one or more micropores configured for exudation of liquid medium negatively ionized from an inner cavity of the cylindrical bottle body or for spraying or as a ventilation channel for moxibustion; and

said silicate-based ceramic materials containing tourmaline are capable of emitting and transmitting far infrared rays, microcurrent and negative ions at a certain temperature, where the microcurrent matches human bioelectricity.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is screwed down towards the screw-type bottleneck.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein one side of a cylindrical wall of said cylindrical bottle body is configured with a protruding wing.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is pen-shaped, the pen-shaped functional head comprising a tip, and the one or more micropores being located at the tip, such that the apparatus is configured to be an acupuncture massage pen.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is bullet-shaped, such that said apparatus is configured to be a blunt-end pressure massager.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is configured to be a press-type spraying device, the press-type spraying device comprising a nozzle, a pressing valved, a sucker extended from the nozzle to an inner cavity of said cylindrical bottle body.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is configured to be a cylindrical moxibustion combustor with an arch-shaped head.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the cylindrical moxibustion combustor comprises one or more foot pads.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is U-shaped.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said functional head is comb-shaped such that the apparatus is configured to be a comb.
