METHOD FOR PROLONGING THE ACTION ON ACUPUNCTURE POINTS, INCLUDING FOR REDUCING THE PATIENT BODY EXCESSIVE WEIGHT AND FOR CORRECTING THE BODY, DEVICE AND A NEEDLE (VARIANTS) FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to acupuncture reflexotherapy. The inventive method consists in introducing a needle provided with a three-dimensional, plate- or ring-shaped head into the specified, for example, auricular acupuncture point of a patient, in extracting the needle free end from another specified point and in fixing a removable plate-shaped or three-dimensional retainer thereto. Said retainer can be embodied in such a way that it is fixable and formed by the curved free end of the needle stem. A desired reduction of the body weight is obtainable by exposing said point areas to the head and/or retainer weight, and/or by modifying the contact area thereof with said points, and/or by modifying the progradient correlation of the action intensity on said points. In order to enhance the action, pins and suspensions on the head of retainer or shaped and/or wavelike needle surface are used. The inventive method and the needle structural design make it possible to more efficiently act on the selected acupuncture points, thereby substantially reducing the patient body excessive weight or treating the diseases thereof.
