A system for electrostimulation therapy includes two or more electrodes of different metals or metal alloys. The electrodes can be optionally provided on a flexible non-conducting substrate with a binder, thereby acting as a bandage or patch. Alternatively, the electrodes can be in the form of a needle, such as acupuncture needle, bracelets, armbands, wristbands, necklaces, or jewelry pieces. A method for electrostimulation therapy includes the steps of attaching a first electrode to a user or soil of a plant at a first location and attaching at least one additional electrode to the user or the plant at other locations for a predetermined period. The electrodes are not connected to a voltage or current source. Because at least two electrodes are of different metals, they cause an electrical current to flow via at least a portion of the user or the soil of the plant.

The invention relates to a drug-loaded acupuncture needle capable of enhancing effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and an application thereof. A method for preparing the drug-loaded acupuncture needle comprises the following steps of a) taking a proper amount of salviae miltiorrhizae, adding 5-10 times amount of ethyl alcohol with a volume fraction of 80-95%, performing reflux extraction 1-4 times, combining extracting solutions, and concentrating and drying the extracting solutions so as to obtain salviae miltiorrhizae extracts, wherein the duration of each reflux extraction is 0.5-3 hours; b) taking a proper amount of PLGA (Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)), adding chloroform to dissolve the PLGA so as to prepare a solution with a PLAG mass concentration of 1-3%, adding the salviae miltiorrhizae extracts prepared in the step a, stirring to dissolve the salviae miltiorrhizae extracts, spraying the solution on the needle body surface of the acupuncture needle by utilization of a spraying method, and drying the acupuncture needle for 8-20 hours under a vacuum condition. The drug-loaded acupuncture needle prepared according to the invention has the advantages that the salviae miltiorrhizae extracts, which have obvious effects for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, are contained, can be stably bonded with a high polymer material PLGA, and can be quickly released in a human body, so that the drug penetrating amount is increased, and an excellent therapeutic effect is obtained in clinical trials.

The invention discloses a low-frequency therapeutic apparatus for drug detoxification, which is regulated and controlled by a computer and is equipment for the drug detoxification and solves the problem of poor effects of healing with drugs for the drug detoxification in the past. The therapeutic apparatus comprises a power source and a shell, the shell is internally provided with a controller and the input end of the controller is connected with the computer while the output end of the controller is connected with a therapeutic electrode. By virtue a method of acupuncture points and meridians in the traditional Chinese medical science, a pulse signal generated by the driving of the controller by the computer passes through the therapeutic electrode and a skin electric shocking pulse is directly adopted to stimulate acupuncture points of a human body for treatment, thus promoting the releasing of enkephalin in the human body, further relieving the withdrawal symptoms of opiate narcotics and having the effects of pain easing and spasmolysis and better withdrawal effect than amidone methadone. The therapeutic apparatus has safe and reliable application, no pain, no side effect, and obvious effects for relieving addiction and controlling relapse. The computer is used for regulating and controlling so as to realize simple operation and accurate curative effect.
