Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of physiotherapy devices, and in particular to a physiotherapy device for hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Hot compress with Chinese herbal medicine packs is a common TCM physiotherapy method. Some existing techniques use hot compress packs or uterine warming packs to relieve pain or discomfort during menstruation or gynecological inflammation in women.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN105412423A discloses a traditional Chinese medicine warming pack for preventing and treating uterine cold. When using this pack, the pack is heated by steam or microwave and then applied as a hot compress to the lower abdomen. Chinese invention patent CN113476546A discloses a herbal hot compress pack for uterine cold and its preparation method. When using this herbal hot compress pack, the pack is heated and then applied to the navel.

[0004] In the above technical solution, because the medicine pack is to be in direct contact with the human body for heat application, the heating temperature of the medicine pack should not be too high, otherwise it may easily burn the body. During the heat application process, the medicine pack cools down relatively quickly, resulting in a shorter effective heat application time and a poorer therapeutic effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a physiotherapy device for hot compress of traditional Chinese medicine and its usage method, which has the advantages of long-lasting hot compress therapy time, good therapeutic effect and high user acceptance.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a physiotherapy device for applying traditional Chinese medicine hot compress is provided, the physiotherapy device comprising:

[0008] The receiving body is made of a breathable plush fabric suitable for microwave heating, and the receiving body is provided with an installation cavity and an installation port connecting the installation cavity to the outside.

[0009] The filling core material includes a traditional Chinese medicine core material and a sustained-release core material. The traditional Chinese medicine core material is used for drug therapy on the human body. The sustained-release core material can accumulate heat by microwave heating and continuously release heat after heating. The traditional Chinese medicine core material and the sustained-release core material are suitable for installation in the mounting cavity through the mounting port.

[0010] The slow-release core material comprises millet that has been irradiated to kill insects, and the millet is uniformly filled into the mounting cavity; wherein the moisture content of the millet is 5%-12%.

[0011] In this solution, the main body is filled with a core material, which fills the installation cavity of the main body. When using the physiotherapy device, the device is placed in a microwave oven for heating. After heating, the main body is placed on the area to be treated for hot compress. The herbal core material can provide drug therapy to the user after heating, thus relieving the user's discomfort physiologically.

[0012] The container is made of breathable plush fabric suitable for microwave heating, so that the medicinal properties of the herbal core material can be released through the container after heating to provide physiotherapy to the user. At the same time, the warm container after microwave heating can provide better comfort to the user. The plush fabric becomes softer after heating, further enhancing the user's tactile experience, relieving psychological discomfort, and increasing user acceptance.

[0013] The slow-release core material accumulates heat when heated in a microwave oven. After the therapy device is removed from the microwave, the slow-release core material slowly releases heat, allowing the main body and the herbal core material to maintain warmth for a longer period, thus improving the heat therapy effect. Simultaneously, the herbal core material and the slow-release core material are placed within the installation cavity of the main body. Compared to traditional herbal hot compress packs, the heat dissipation of this therapy device is slower, which helps the herbal core material maintain warmth to release its medicinal effects, thereby increasing the therapy time and efficacy.

[0014] The slow-release core material includes millet, which imparts a natural plant fragrance after heating, further enhancing user acceptance. Compared to other types of slow-release core materials, millet has a rounded shape, ensuring even heating. It also allows for easy rolling within the installation cavity to evenly fill it, resulting in less foreign body sensation and a better tactile experience when the user is in close contact with the therapy device. The millet undergoes irradiation to kill insects and eggs, reducing the risk of insect infestation. The moisture content of the millet is between 5% and 12%. Experiments have verified that within this range, the millet has sufficient moisture for microwave heating while preventing excessive moisture, thus reducing the likelihood of mold and spoilage and minimizing the dampness of the therapy device after microwave heating, further improving the user experience.

[0015] Furthermore, the millet and the Chinese herbal medicine core material are mixed evenly.

[0016] In this design, millet and the herbal core material are uniformly mixed. When the therapeutic device is heated in a microwave oven, both the millet and the herbal core material heat up evenly. When the user uses the device for heat therapy, the millet, evenly distributed around the herbal core material, continuously releases heat to keep it warm. This ensures uniform and consistent temperature changes among the components of the herbal core material, facilitating the synergistic release of medicinal effects for the user's therapeutic experience. Simultaneously, the uniform mixing of millet and the herbal core material, with the herbal core material encapsulated by the millet, reduces the foreign body sensation associated with large pieces of herbal medicine, enhancing the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, the herbal core material includes medicinal materials used for warming the uterus and relieving pain, and aromatic medicinal materials used to enhance the fragrance.

[0018] In this solution, the herbal core material includes not only medicinal materials used for drug therapy, but also aromatic medicinal materials. This allows the herbal core material to release fragrance when heated, soothing the user's emotions and enhancing the user experience.

[0019] Furthermore, the active ingredients include Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, and fennel, and the aromatic ingredients include lavender; by weight, the ratio of Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, fennel, and lavender is 20:8:10:7.

[0020] In this formula, Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, and fennel can relieve dysmenorrhea caused by cold uterus and qi stagnation and blood stasis, and play a role in warming the uterus and relieving pain; lavender can release fragrance when heated, which can soothe the user's emotions.

[0021] Furthermore, the herbal core material also includes insect repellent herbs, which are used to kill or expel insects from the filling core material.

[0022] In this solution, the Chinese medicine core material also includes insect repellent herbs, which kill or repel insects in the core material, reducing the probability of insects or insect eggs being produced in the core material after leaving the factory.

[0023] Furthermore, the filling core material also includes a breathable filling bag, in which the Chinese medicine core material is filled, and the filling bag is detachably installed in the mounting cavity.

[0024] In this design, the herbal medicine core material is filled in a breathable filling bag, which separates the herbal medicine core material from the sustained-release core material. After the herbal medicine core material loses its efficacy due to repeated use of the physiotherapy device, the filling bag can be removed from the installation cavity and the herbal medicine core material can be replaced to ensure the therapeutic effect of the physiotherapy device.

[0025] Furthermore, the containing body is a plush toy, and the fabric of the containing body is at least one of 100% polyester fiber, cotton, and polyester.

[0026] In this design, the main body of the device is a plush toy. When using the therapeutic device for heat therapy, the user can hug the plush toy-shaped main body, thereby alleviating psychological discomfort and creating a synergistic effect of "psychological relief → physical relaxation → efficient absorption of the medicine," further enhancing the therapeutic effect of the herbal core material and increasing user acceptance. When not used for heat therapy, the device can also be used as a plush toy pillow or ornament, achieving multiple uses and high practicality. Furthermore, when not in use, the device can be simply placed as a decoration without additional storage. The fabric of the main body is at least one of 100% polyester fiber, cotton, and polyester, allowing it to be heated in a microwave oven with the filling material.

[0027] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method of using a physiotherapy device for applying traditional Chinese medicine hot compress is provided, for use with the physiotherapy device as described above, the method of use comprising:

[0028] S1. Place the physiotherapy device in a microwave oven and heat it;

[0029] S2. Remove the physiotherapy device from the microwave oven and place the main body of the device against the user's area to be treated;

[0030] S3. The user keeps the device in close contact with the main body and sets the heat therapy time.

[0031] In this design, the physiotherapy device is heated using a microwave oven, raising the temperature of the herbal core material and the slow-release core material. During heat therapy, the heated herbal core material provides therapeutic benefits, while the slow-release core material gradually releases heat, extending the heat retention time of both the container and the herbal core material and enhancing the heat therapy effect. The container, made of plush fabric, offers a pleasant tactile experience and is well-received by users. Simultaneously, the microwave-heated container provides a soothing sensation, and the softer plush fabric further enhances the tactile experience and overall user experience.

[0032] Furthermore, S1 includes:

[0033] S11. Place the physiotherapy device into a plastic bag;

[0034] S12. Punch holes in the plastic bag;

[0035] S13. Place the plastic bag containing the physiotherapy device into the microwave oven and heat it on medium heat for 60-90 seconds until the temperature of the filling material reaches 100-140℃.

[0036] In this solution, when heating the therapy device in a microwave oven, the device is placed in a plastic bag before being put into the microwave. This prevents odors from the microwave from seeping into the device and also prevents lint, loose threads, or other debris from falling from the device and affecting the microwave's hygiene. Holes are punched in the plastic bag before heating to prevent moisture from escaping and causing the device to become damp, or the bag to expand and explode.

[0037] In this design, because the filling material is encased in a container made of plush fabric, the higher temperature of the filling material reduces the risk of burns to the user. Therefore, the therapeutic device can be heated in a microwave oven on medium heat, raising the temperature of the filling material to 100-140℃. This enhances the therapeutic effect of the herbal filling material and extends the heat retention time of the slow-release filling material. Furthermore, the plush fabric container provides excellent heat insulation, further extending the duration of the heat therapy.

[0038] Furthermore, the method of use also includes:

[0039] S4. Place the physiotherapy device in a refrigerator and freeze for 2-9 hours;

[0040] S5. Place the physiotherapy device at room temperature for 1-3 days.

[0041] In this solution, after multiple uses of the physiotherapy device for heat therapy, the device can be frozen in a refrigerator for 2-9 hours to lower the core temperature of the filling material. After removing the device, leave it at room temperature for 1-3 days. This allows the slow-release and herbal filling materials to absorb moisture and replenish the moisture lost during microwave heating, maintaining the millet's moisture content at 5%-12%. This ensures that the slow-release and herbal filling materials can be microwaved again for the next use of the device for heat therapy. Furthermore, when the device is not used for heat therapy and is simply used as a plush toy, the frozen device provides a cool and refreshing touch in hot weather, gently relieving heat and discomfort. The frozen slow-release filling material also absorbs heat and releases cold energy, maintaining the device's lower temperature, making it suitable for summer use.

[0042] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] In this invention, the main body contains a traditional Chinese medicine core material and a sustained-release core material. When using this therapeutic device, it is placed in a microwave oven for heating. After heating, the main body is placed on the area to be treated for heat therapy. The heated traditional Chinese medicine core material provides pharmacological therapy to the user, physiologically relieving discomfort. The sustained-release core material accumulates heat during microwave heating and slowly releases heat after the device is removed from the microwave, extending the heat retention time of both the main body and the core material and improving the heat therapy effect.

[0050] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a physiotherapy device for applying traditional Chinese medicine hot compresses, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The physiotherapy device includes a housing body 100 and a filling core material 200. The housing body 100 is provided with an installation cavity and an installation port 110 connecting the installation cavity to the outside. The filling core material 200 is inserted into the installation cavity through the installation port 110 and fills the housing body 100 as the contents of the housing body 100 so that the housing body 100 has a full shape.

[0053] The filling core material 200 includes a traditional Chinese medicine core material 210 and a sustained-release core material 220, which are installed in the installation cavity through the installation port 110. Both the traditional Chinese medicine core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 can be heated by microwave. The traditional Chinese medicine core material 210 can provide drug therapy to the human body after heating, while the sustained-release core material 220 can accumulate heat by microwave heating and continuously release heat after heating is completed.

[0054] In this embodiment, the container body 100 is made of a breathable plush fabric that can be heated by microwaves, so that the medicinal core material 210 can release its medicinal effects through the container body 100 after heating to provide physiotherapy to the user. The container body 100 is sewn with thread and has no glued parts. When heating the physiotherapy device, the container body 100 containing the filling core material 200 can be directly placed in a microwave oven for heating.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 100 is a plush toy. When using this physiotherapy device for heat therapy, the user can hug the plush toy-shaped housing 100, thereby alleviating the user's psychological discomfort and forming a synergistic effect of "psychological relief → physical relaxation → efficient absorption of medicine," further enhancing the therapeutic effect of the herbal core material 210 and increasing user acceptance. When the physiotherapy device is not used for heat therapy, it can also be used as a plush toy pillow or ornament, achieving multiple uses and strong practicality. Moreover, when the physiotherapy device is not in use, it can be placed in a certain place as a decoration without the need for additional storage.

[0056] The container body 100 can be a plush toy in the shape of an animal, a cartoon character, or other suitable image. The fabric of the container body 100 is at least one of 100% polyester fiber, cotton, and polyester. The plastic parts used in the container body 100 (such as the eyes and accessories of the plush toy) are made of ABS plastic, so that the container body 100 can be filled with the core material 200 and placed in a microwave oven for heating.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fabric of the containing body 100 is crystal velvet, which has a soft feel, good moisture absorption and quick-drying effect, and can reduce the moisture condensation after the slow-release core material 220 is heated. In addition, in other embodiments, the fabric of the containing body 100 may also be mink, rabbit hair or crystal super soft fabric.

[0058] In addition, in other embodiments, the receiving body 100 may also be a belt, knee pad, elbow pad, pillow, cushion, seat cushion or other suitable items for contact with the human body made of plush fabric. Different receiving bodies 100 can adapt to the physiotherapy needs of different parts of the user's body.

[0059] When using this physiotherapy device, the user can put the device in a microwave oven to heat it. After heating, the device can be placed on the area to be treated for hot compress therapy. The heated Chinese herbal medicine core material 210 provides drug therapy to the user, physiologically relieving the user's discomfort.

[0060] The slow-release core material 220 accumulates heat when heated in the microwave oven. After the container is removed from the microwave, the slow-release core material 220 slowly releases heat, allowing the container 100 and the herbal core material 210 to maintain warmth for a longer period, thus improving the therapeutic effect of the hot compress. The warm container 100 after microwave heating provides a better user experience and enhances psychological comfort. The plush fabric on the surface of the container 100 becomes softer after heating, further improving the user's tactile experience. Simultaneously, the herbal core material 210 and the slow-release core material 220 are placed inside the installation cavity of the container 100. Compared to traditional herbal hot compress packs, the heat dissipation of the therapeutic device in this embodiment is slower, which helps the herbal core material 210 maintain warmth to release its medicinal effects, thus improving the therapeutic time and efficacy.

[0061] In this embodiment, the mounting port 110 is located on the side of the accommodating body 100. After the filling core material 200 is inserted into the mounting cavity through the mounting port 110, the mounting port 110 is sewn shut with a suture line to prevent the filling core material 200 from spilling out.

[0062] In this embodiment, the slow-release core material 220 includes millet that has been irradiated to kill insects, and the millet is evenly filled into the mounting cavity. The millet is irradiated to kill insects and their eggs, reducing the risk of insect infestation in the slow-release core material 220 during transportation and sale of the physiotherapy device after it leaves the factory. Heated millet has a natural plant fragrance, which can further enhance user acceptance. Compared to other types of slow-release core materials 220, the millet has a rounded shape, heats evenly, and is easy to roll within the mounting cavity to evenly fill it. Furthermore, it provides less foreign body sensation and a better tactile experience when the user is in close contact with the physiotherapy device.

[0063] The moisture content of millet is between 5% and 12%. Experiments have verified that within this range, millet has sufficient moisture for microwave heating, while also preventing excessive moisture content that could lead to mold and spoilage. Furthermore, the therapeutic device remains dry after microwave heating, enhancing the user experience.

[0064] In addition, in other embodiments, the slow-release core material 220 may also include clay particles, wheat grains, lavender seeds, or other particles that can be microwaved and store heat.

[0065] In this embodiment, millet is directly filled into the mounting cavity. Specifically, millet and Chinese medicine core material 210 are uniformly mixed and then filled into the mounting cavity, so that millet and Chinese medicine core material 210 uniformly fill and cover the mounting cavity of the housing body 100, adapting to the shape of the mounting cavity.

[0066] When the therapeutic device is heated in a microwave oven, the millet and the herbal core material 210 heat up evenly. When the user uses the device for heat therapy, the millet, evenly distributed around the herbal core material 210, continuously releases heat to keep it warm, ensuring uniform and consistent temperature changes for all components. This facilitates the synergistic release of medicinal effects from each component, promoting therapeutic efficacy for the user. Simultaneously, the even mixing of millet and herbal core material 210, with the material encapsulated, reduces the foreign body sensation associated with large pieces of herbal medicine, enhancing the user experience.

[0067] In addition, in other embodiments, the millet can be packed into a bag and then the bag can be placed into the mounting cavity to facilitate the assembly of the slow-release core material 220.

[0068] Preferably, in some embodiments, the mounting cavity is offset from the center of the receiving body 100, that is, on one of the opposite sides of the mounting cavity, the thickness of the receiving body 100 on one side is less than the thickness of the receiving body 100 on the other side. When using the physiotherapy device, the side of the receiving body 100 with a smaller thickness (i.e., the distance from the surface of the receiving body 100 to the inner wall of the mounting cavity) can be fitted to the user's treatment area, so that the herbal core material 210 in the mounting cavity can better act on the user, while the thicker receiving body 100 on the other side of the mounting cavity can block heat dissipation on the side of the herbal core material 210 away from the human body, increasing the heat preservation effect of the herbal core material 210 and thus improving the physiotherapy effect.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting cavity is located on the inner front side of the receiving body 100, so that after the herbal core material 210 is inserted into the mounting cavity, the herbal core material 210 is closer to the front side of the plush toy-shaped receiving body 100. When using this physiotherapy device, the front side of the plush toy faces the user. The filling core material 200 fills the mounting cavity of the receiving body 100 to make the plush toy full in shape. The parts of the plush toy without mounting cavities, such as the head, neck, and limbs, are filled with PP fleece to maintain the full shape and soft feel of the plush toy.

[0070] In addition, in other embodiments, the mounting cavity may be located at the center or other parts of the receiving body 100.

[0071] In this embodiment, the herbal core material 210 includes medicinal materials for warming the uterus and relieving pain, and aromatic medicinal materials for increasing fragrance. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, the herbal core material 210 provides drug therapy to the user after heating. The aromatic medicinal materials can release fragrance after heating, which can play a similar role to aromatherapy, soothe the user's emotions, and improve the user experience.

[0072] In this embodiment, the active medicinal materials include Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, and fennel, and the aromatic medicinal material includes lavender. By weight, the ratio of Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, fennel, and lavender is 20:8:10:7. Lindera root, Corydalis rhizome, and fennel can relieve dysmenorrhea caused by cold uterus and qi stagnation and blood stasis, and play a role in warming the uterus and relieving pain; lavender can release fragrance when heated, which can soothe the user's emotions.

[0073] Preferably, in this embodiment, the core materials of Chinese medicinal herbs such as Lindera strychnifolia, Corydalis yanhusuo, fennel, and lavender are all irradiated to kill insects, remove live insects and insect eggs, and reduce the risk of insect infestation in the core materials of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0074] In addition, in other embodiments, the herbal core material 210 may also include mugwort, sandalwood, dried ginger, rose, angelica and motherwort; by weight, the ratio of mugwort, sandalwood, dried ginger, rose, angelica and motherwort is 14:1:6:5:2:2, wherein the active medicinal materials include mugwort, dried ginger, rose, angelica and motherwort, and the aromatic medicinal materials include sandalwood.

[0075] In addition, in other embodiments, the herbal core material 210 may also be selected from medicinal materials with effects such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, calming the mind and refreshing the brain, or other medicinal materials, and aromatic medicinal materials may also be selected from other medicinal materials with aromatic odors. In other embodiments, the component ratio of the herbal core material 210 may also be other suitable values.

[0076] In addition, in other embodiments, the herbal core material 210 may include only the active medicinal material and not the aromatic medicinal material.

[0077] In this embodiment, the Chinese medicine core material 210 also includes insect repellent herbs, which are used to kill or expel insects in the filling core material 200, reducing the probability of insects or insect eggs being generated in the filling core material 200 when the physiotherapy device is not used for a long time after leaving the factory.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the insect repellent includes fragrant grass, which has a mild and refreshing scent, is well-accepted by users, and is suitable for users with pregnant women and children at home.

[0079] In addition, in other embodiments, the insect repellent material may also be dried peppermint branches, areca nuts, camphor balls, or other materials with insect repellent effects.

[0080] This embodiment also provides a method of using a physiotherapy device for applying traditional Chinese medicine hot compresses, wherein the physiotherapy device is the one described above in this embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The method of using this physiotherapy device includes:

[0081] S1. Place the physiotherapy device in a microwave oven and heat it.

[0082] In this embodiment, the herbal core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 are filled into the mounting cavity of the accommodating body 100, and the mounting opening 110 of the accommodating body 100 is sewn shut. When the accommodating body 100 is placed in a microwave oven for heating, the herbal core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 are heated simultaneously, causing the temperature of the herbal core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 to rise.

[0083] S1 includes:

[0084] S11. Place the physiotherapy device into a plastic bag 300.

[0085] In this embodiment, when heating the physiotherapy device in a microwave oven, the device is placed in a plastic bag 300 before being placed in the microwave oven for heating. This is to prevent the odor from the microwave oven from seeping into the physiotherapy device and to prevent the device from shedding lint, loose threads, or other impurities that could affect the hygiene of the microwave oven.

[0086] S12. Punch holes in the plastic bag 300.

[0087] Before the physiotherapy device is microwaved, holes are punched in the plastic bag 300. This prevents the water vapor from evaporating during heating from becoming damp and the plastic bag 300 from expanding and exploding.

[0088] S13. Place the plastic bag 300 containing the physiotherapy device into a microwave oven and heat it on medium heat for 60-90 seconds until the temperature of the filling material 200 reaches 100-140℃.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the filling core material 200 is covered by the container body 100 made of plush fabric, the high-temperature filling core material 200 is less likely to burn the user. Therefore, the physiotherapy device can be heated in a microwave oven on medium heat for 60-90 seconds, so that the temperature of the filling core material 200 reaches 100-140℃, improving the physiotherapy effect of the herbal core material 210 and the heat preservation time of the slow-release core material 220 for the herbal core material 210, while the outer surface temperature of the container body 100 does not exceed 65℃. The container body 100 made of plush fabric has better heat insulation properties, further improving the duration of heat therapy of the physiotherapy device.

[0090] S2. Remove the physiotherapy device from the microwave oven and place the receiving body 100 against the user's area to be treated.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the container 100 containing the Chinese medicine core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 is placed on the user's lower abdomen or waist.

[0092] S3. The user keeps the device in close contact with the main body for 100 degrees while the heat therapy is set for the specified time.

[0093] When using the physiotherapy device for heat therapy, the heated herbal core material 210 provides medicinal therapy to the user, while the slow-release core material 220 slowly releases heat, allowing the container body 100 and the herbal core material 210 to maintain warmth for longer periods and improve the heat therapy effect. The container body 100, made of plush fabric, has a pleasant tactile feel and is well-received by users. During heat therapy, the microwave-heated container body 100 provides better comfort to the user, and the plush fabric on the surface of the container body 100 becomes even softer after heating, further enhancing the user's tactile experience and overall user experience.

[0094] In this embodiment, the hot compress is set for 15-20 minutes. During the hot compress, the user holds the container 100. In this position, the herbal core material 210 that warms the uterus and relieves pain is targeted to the user's lower abdomen or waist, effectively relieving menstrual pain or other abdominal discomfort.

[0095] In addition, in other embodiments, the user may place the receiving body 100 on their lower back and lean against the receiving body 100 for heat therapy.

[0096] In this embodiment, when using the physiotherapy device for heat therapy, the herbal core material 210 and the slow-release core material 220 are placed inside the container body 100. The heated herbal core material 210 can provide drug therapy to the user, while the slow-release core material 220 slowly releases heat, allowing the container body 100 and the herbal core material 210 to maintain warmth for a longer period, thus improving the heat therapy effect. While undergoing heat therapy, the user can hold the plush toy-like container body 100 to alleviate psychological discomfort. The warm container body 100, after microwave heating, can better soothe the user. The plush fabric on the surface of the container body 100 becomes softer after heating, further enhancing the user's tactile experience. This effectively relieves the user's discomfort both psychologically and physiologically, creating a synergistic effect of "psychological relief → physical relaxation → efficient absorption of medication," further improving the physiotherapy effect.

[0097] Preferably, the method of use in this embodiment further includes:

[0098] S4. Place the physiotherapy device in the refrigerator and freeze for 2-9 hours.

[0099] S5. Place the physiotherapy device at room temperature for 1-3 days.

[0100] After multiple uses of the physiotherapy device for heat therapy, it can be frozen in a refrigerator for 2-9 hours to lower the core temperature of the filling material 200. After removing the device, leave it at room temperature for 1-3 days. The slow-release core material 220 and the traditional Chinese medicine core material 210 will absorb moisture and replenish the moisture lost during microwave heating, maintaining the moisture content of the millet at 5%-12%. This ensures that the slow-release core material 220 and the traditional Chinese medicine core material 210 can be microwaved again for heat therapy. Furthermore, when the device is not used for heat therapy and is simply used as a plush toy, the frozen device provides a cool and refreshing touch in hot weather, gently relieving heat and discomfort. The frozen slow-release core material 220 also absorbs heat and releases cold energy, maintaining the device's lower temperature, making it suitable for summer use.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] This embodiment provides a physiotherapy device for hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine, which is largely the same as the physiotherapy device in Embodiment 1, except that:

[0103] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the filling core material 200 also includes a breathable filling bag 230, in which the Chinese medicine core material 210 is filled and the filling bag 230 is detachably installed in the installation cavity.

[0104] The Chinese medicine core material 210 is filled in a breathable filling bag 230, thereby separating the Chinese medicine core material 210 and the sustained-release core material 220 through the filling bag 230. After the Chinese medicine core material 210 loses its efficacy due to repeated use of the physiotherapy device, the filling bag 230 can be removed from the installation cavity and the Chinese medicine core material 210 can be replaced to ensure the physiotherapy effect of the physiotherapy device.

[0105] In this embodiment, a zipper 120 is provided on the edge of the installation port 110. When the zipper 120 is opened, the filling bag 230 containing the Chinese medicine core material 210 and the slow-release core material 220 can be placed into the installation cavity. After closing the zipper 120, the installation port 110 can be closed, and the Chinese medicine core material 210 and the slow-release core material 220 are limited in the installation cavity of the accommodating body 100.

[0106] In addition, in other embodiments, buttons, Velcro, or other suitable structures may be provided at the mounting opening 110 to open or close the mounting opening 110. Preferably, in some embodiments, the filling bag 230 includes an inner bag and an outer bag, with the inner bag detachably installed inside the outer bag, and the herbal core material 210 filled in the inner bag. Through the double-layer medicine bag design, the inner bag isolates the medicine residue, and only the inner bag needs to be removed for cleaning. At the same time, the slow-release core material 220 can be placed inside the outer bag and closely adhered to the inner bag to release heat.

[0107] The outer bag is made of velvet or linen, while the inner bag is made of non-woven fabric or cotton-linen blend. The outer bag, made of velvet or linen, provides a pleasant tactile experience. In situations where space is limited (e.g., a microwave oven is too small to heat the main body 100), the filling material 200 can be used as a standalone heat pack. During use, the outer bag comes into contact with the user, and the skin-friendly velvet or linen enhances the user experience. The inner bag, made of non-woven fabric or cotton-linen blend, effectively filters and isolates medicinal residue, and is easy to disassemble and clean. Both the inner and outer bags have good breathability, which is beneficial for the medicinal effects of the heated herbal filling material 210 to reach the user.

[0108] In addition, in other embodiments, the inner and outer bags may also be made of other microwave-heatable breathable fabrics.

[0109] In other embodiments, an outer bag may be omitted, and only an inner bag may be provided to hold the mixed Chinese medicine core material 210 and sustained-release core material 220.

[0110] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the structure, features and principles of the present invention patent application are included within the scope of the present invention patent application.
