Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of acupuncture instruments used in clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to a head needle locator and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Head acupuncture, also known as scalp acupuncture, is a method of preventing and treating diseases by acupuncture at specific acupoints on the head. Head acupuncture was developed on the basis of traditional acupuncture theory. As early as in the Suwen·Mai Yao Jingwei Lunpian, it was pointed out that "the head is the seat of intelligence". The head is the meeting point of all yang. The six yang meridians of the hands and feet all run up to the head and face. Among the six yin meridians, the Shaoyin meridian of the hand and the Jueyin meridian of the foot run directly on the head and face. All the collateral meridians of the yin meridians and the yang meridians are combined and reach the head and face. Regarding the treatment of various diseases with head acupuncture, the Neijing has some records. In later documents such as the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jiayi Jing and the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng, the content of the treatment of various diseases of the whole body with head acupoints is more abundant. At present, head acupuncture is widely used in clinical practice. After years of practice, more experience has been accumulated on the positioning, application range and stimulation methods of head acupoints. Head acupuncture has become one of the commonly used treatment methods for clinicians in some countries in the world. In order to adapt to the promotion and exchange of scalp acupuncture therapy internationally and promote its further development, the Chinese Acupuncture Association has formulated the "International Scheme for Standardization of Scalp Acupuncture Point Names" by dividing the meridians into different regions, selecting acupoints on the meridians, and combining the ancient method of penetrating acupoints.

[0003] The formulation of the standardized scalp acupuncture program does not restrict the scientific research and development of scalp acupuncture. In fact, the correspondence between the various parts of the hair-covered area and the various parts of the body cannot be considered a conclusion, and it needs to be further verified by objective research and observation methods. Zhu Mingqing, an associate professor at the Beijing Acupuncture and Traumatology College, based on the theory of viscera and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and through a large amount of clinical practice, simplified the treatment line of scalp acupuncture into 9 bands based on the international standardized scalp acupuncture program.

[0004] Treatment belts are used at the scalp acupuncture sites. The effective acupuncture point for scalp acupuncture is often not a point, but an area. Acupuncture is effective in this area. Based on the scalp acupuncture treatment belts of Associate Professor Zhu Mingqing, Professor Wang Duanyi has developed scalp acupuncture treatment belts to 16 treatment belts in accordance with the "Standardization Program for Head Acupuncture". For eye diseases, the main ones used are: skull base belt, mid-forehead belt, frontal-parietal belt, and parietal-occipital belt.

[0005] In specific applications, due to differences in individual head contours, the diversity of causes of disease, and different physical improvement problems, patients need to go to the corresponding medical point to receive acupuncture, so that head acupuncture therapy can only be performed on-site by TCM professionals to ensure that the acupuncture points and acupoints can correspond correctly and meet the needs. This has led to the inability of head acupuncture therapy to be widely popularized, and TCM professionals also need long-term learning and practice to perform acupuncture correctly. Even if it is a single needle or multiple needles, there are always problems of improper needle selection and poor acupuncture effect in clinical practice. Many clinicians mostly complete the acupuncture treatment process with empirical operations. In other words, they adopt a non-standardized operation mode in the use of needles. As a result, head acupuncture therapy faces great challenges and problems in terms of manpower, material resources, and promotion. Therefore, in order to be suitable for different groups of people, not affected by location and personnel, and convenient for users to treat anytime and anywhere, we need to design an acupuncture auxiliary device that is easy to promote and use. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims at solving the problems and defects of the prior art and proposes a head needle locator and a method for using the same.

[0007] The first object of the present invention is to provide a head needle locator, which is composed of a skull base belt, a top occipital belt, a middle forehead belt and a frontal top belt, and its specific structure is as follows: The skull base strap, the middle forehead strap and the frontal strap are open ring-shaped straps.
