Abstract

An electrical therapeutic apparatus which comprises an oscillator for selectively generating a low or high frequency, a selector associated with said oscillator to determine a voltage having an intrinsic frequency of specified wave suitable to an affected meridian and a means for applying the selected voltage to the human body. The voltage at the selected frequency of specified wave is applied to a reaction point communicated through meridian with entrails in the body.

Claims

1. An electrical therapeutic apparatus which comprises a multi-frequency generating oscillator for generating voltages of predetermined shape over a frequency range including relatively low and relatively high frequencies, means for selecting a voltage of predetermined frequency and wave shape matched to an affected meridian, and conductive needle means for applying the selected voltage at puncture points on the human body at the affected meridian, said oscillator generating a series of voltage pulses at frequencies of between 2.5 KHz to 1.6 MHz at intervals of 1/2 to 10 seconds.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each oscillation pulse has a positive and a negative impulse and has a duration of less than 1/5000 seconds, the difference between the positive component and the negative component of the pulse being substantially zero.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said oscillator generates group of pulses, each pulse in the group having an oscillation cycle of less than 1/50 seconds, the group of pulses having a duration of 5 seconds, each pulse in the group being positively and negatively directed whereby the difference between the positive component and the negative component of each pulse is substantially zero.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the voltage pulse is of asymmetric wave form.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the frequency of the voltage pulses selected is related to the meridians as follows:
