Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an assembly for regulating the energy circulating in the meridians. It is characterized in that the said assembly comprises two identical apparatuses, each designed only to emit the said wave (13) exclusively, at full power and at two pulse frequencies which only vary at a ratio of one to two. Application to acupuncture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
Applicator for application to known points of acupuncture for regulating the energy circulating in the meridians of the human body in the sense of dispersion or stimulation of the energy in accordance with disorders to be treated and of the type employing radiation from an emitting diode, said applicator comprising: a body portion; an emittting diode carried by the body portion; an electrical circuit means in said body portion for supplying energizing pulses to said diode such that said diode emits a chopped wave; and the pulses being of a substantially constant amplitude and at either one of two frequencies which are related to each other in substantially a one-to-two ratio, one of the pulse frequencies being for dispersion and the other of the pulse frequencies being for stimulation, and wherein said circuit means supplies said diode with pulses only at: a dispersion frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 1720 microseconds plus or minus ten per cent, and a stimulation frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 860 microseconds plus or minus ten per cent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
Applicator for application to known points of acupuncture for regulating the energy circulating in the meridians of the human body in the sense of dispersion or stimulation of the energy in accordance with disorders to be treated and of the type employing radiation from an emitting diode, said applicator comprising: a body portion; an emittting diode carried by the body portion; an electrical circuit means in said body portion for supplying energizing pulses to said diode such that said diode emits a chopped wave; and the pulses being of a substantially constant amplitude and at either one of two frequencies which are related to each other in substantially a one-to-two ratio, one of the pulse frequencies being for dispersion and the other of the pulse frequencies being for stimulation, and wherein said circuit means supplies said diode with pulses only at: a dispersion frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 1720 microseconds plus or minus ten per cent, and a stimulation frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 860 microseconds plus or minus ten per cent.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
229 words
A method of treatment of a living body for regulating the energy circulating in meridians of the body in the sense of dispersion or stimulation of the energy in accordance with disorders to be treated and of the type of method employing radiation from an emitting diode applied to acupuncture points, the method comprising the steps of: (a) placing two applicators in energy transfer relationship to acupuncture points of the body, each applicator comprising: a body portion; an emitting diode carried by the body portion; an electrical circuit means in said body portion for supplying energizing pulses to said diode such that said diode emits a chopped wave, and the pulses being of a substantially constant amplitude and at either one of two frequencies which are related to each other in substantially a one-to-two ratio, one of the pulse frequencies being for dispersion and the other of the pulse frequencies being for stimulation, and wherein said circuit means supplies said diode with pulses only at: a dispersion frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 1720 microseconds plus or minus ten percent, and a stimulation frequency with a pulse repetition interval of 860 microseconds plus or minus ten percent; and (b) simultaneously applying energy to the body from said two applicators so as to balance body energy, each applicator applying energy at said dispersion frequency or at said stimulation frequency.
