<p>The use of electrical stimulation in substitute for acupuncture is well known, this invention is designed to enable an unskilled person to attach an earpiece (20, 21, 22 and 23) to an ear of the user such that a conductive electrical pad (20) is consistently located in electrically conductive contact with the fossa of the anti-helix (16) of the ear of the user whereby electrical stimulation may be accurately delivered to the appropriate acupuncture point (Shenman point 17). A pad carrier (21) supports not only the pad (20) but also a retaining means (22) such that the spacing between the retaining means and the pad (20) is maintained for a variety of users. Also the pad and carrier are arranged so that the earpiece may be worn in either ear of the user.</p> |
