Non-invasive methods for prevention, detection, treatment, and healing of neoplastic processes in dogs and cats
The invention is a method consisting of stimulation of specific new acupuncture points to prevent, treat and heal specific types of neoplastic process in dogs and cats. The specific acupuncture points used in the method of the invention have not been previously disclosed for the treatment of neoplastic processes. The treatments can be carried out by accredited practitioners in a clinical setting or by a layperson. The stimulation can be provided by any of the known techniques used for stimulation of controlling points, including, but not limited to, traditional acupuncture needles, auto-injector needles, electric acupuncture, acupressure, lasers, acupuncture lasers, UV radiation, infra-red radiation, heat, magnets, moxibustion, and a combination of two or more of these techniques, for example, the use of both needles and laser acupuncture simultaneously in a single treatment session.
TREATMENT OF ALLERGIES AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
The present disclosure provides a method of treating allergies and autoimmune diseases using microsystem acupuncture. Methods provided herein for treating allergies and autoimmune diseases using microsystem acupuncture involving a novel allergy zone. In embodiments, the method includes identifying an allergy zone (AZ) (Soliman Allergy Zone (SAZ)) (FIG. 1A) in an acupuncture microsystem of a subject in need of treatment and treating the zone to treat the allergy or autoimmune disease. In embodiments, treating the zone includes introducing an acupuncture needle in the zone. In particular embodiments, the method includes identifying one or more active points in the liver projection site of the AZ and treating the active point or points.
Electrical acuptuncture eye treatment
A system and method for eye treatment. The system and method utilize an electro acupuncture stimulator. The electro acupuncture stimulator includes a positive lead and a negative lead. The system further includes a pair of first needles, a second needle and a diode. The pair of first needles are electrically connected to one of the positive lead and the negative lead. The diode is electrically connected to the other of the positive lead and the negative lead. The second needle is electrically connected to the diode.
DEVICE FOR ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION THERAPY AND USES THEREOF
The present invention provides a device for acumoxa therapy utilizing energy waves. In one embodiment, the device delivers energy in a non-invasive manner. In one embodiment, the device is configured to include an energy pin and one or more energy rings. In one embodiment, the device delivers sufficient energy to certain body parts such as acupoints to achieve an intervening and/or therapeutic effect. In one embodiment, the device can maintain or improve general health, or can alleviate or treat one or more conditions. In one embodiment, the present invention also discloses a system comprising the device and uses thereof.
Methods and systems for treating meibomian gland dysfunction using radio-frequency energy
A method of treating meibomian gland dysfunction is disclosed. The method includes directing RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland, selectively targeting an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction, and expressing the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland. An apparatus for treating meibomian gland dysfunction is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least one RF electrode configured to direct RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland located in an eyelid of an eye, the at least one RF electrode further configured to selectively target an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction. The apparatus also comprises at least one expressor configured to express the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland.
PACKAGE FOR DISPOSABLE COATED ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLE
Disclosed is a package for a disposable coated acupuncture needle, wherein the package is made up of disposable coated acupuncture needles (1), a packaging box (2) and a sealed bag (3). A vacuum packaging method may be used in the package to seal the packaging box containing the acupuncture needles, so as to perform sterilization via high-energy electron or isotope irradiation. When in use, the seal bag (3) is torn off, a drawing strap (16) is pulled so as to pull out the package box (2), a support (6) is folded to expose an acupuncture needle handle (13), and then the disposable coated acupuncture needle (1) can be used for conducting sterile operation. The disposable coated acupuncture needle has the advantages that multiple acupuncture needles can be packaged in the same package box and can be conveniently taken for use; a user can less contaminate the other needles when taking and using a small number of acupuncture needles in the package box, and the sterile operation is facilitated.
PRESS NEEDLES WITH AN ALIGNMENT STRUCTURE
Provided is an press needles with an alignment structure having a conductor and multiple needles. The conductor having two opposite ends has an acupuncture area and a holding area. The acupuncture area is located at one end of the conductor, and the holding area is located at the other end of the conductor. The needles are sequentially aligned at a side of the conductor. Therefore, the alignment structure offers the patient better treatments and decreasing the period of treatment.
ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLE
An acupuncture needle is an acupuncture needle including a needle body having a needle tip portion at a leading end thereof, and a needle grip attached to a base end portion of the needle body. A cross-sectional shape crossing a longitudinal direction of the needle grip is an ellipse.
ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLE AND METHOD OF FORMING ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLE
A method of forming an acupuncture needle includes forming an acupuncture needle having a needle body having a needle tip portion at a leading end thereof, and a needle grip attached to a base end portion of the needle body. A cross-sectional shape crossing a longitudinal direction of the acupuncture needle at a middle of the needle grip in the longitudinal direction is an ellipse. A groove portion is provided along an outer circumference of the needle grip. When using as an acupuncture needle with a long needle grip, the needle grip is maintained without being separated at the groove portion. When using as an acupuncture needle with a short needle grip, the needle grip is bent with a bending load direction in a minor axis direction of the ellipse to separate the needle grip at the groove portion.
INTRAMUSCULAR STIMULATION NEEDLING DEVICE
An intramuscular stimulation needling device for chronic pain relief. The needling device can include a stepper motor, a needle, and a control unit. The needle can poke an affected muscle tissue and driven by a stepper motor in reciprocating manner. In each cycle, the needle moves a pre-determined distance forwardly in a first half cycle and retracts to original position in a second half cycle. The control unit can accelerate of the needle one or more times in the first half cycle at spaced intervals and decrease the velocity in the reverse pattern in the second half cycle.
