Abstract
The purpose of this invention is to create an actively heated product (e.g. a mattress, pillow, blanket, slippers, item of clothing, or separate element(s) of clothing) with amber filling for heating area(s) of a human body. As natural amber heats to the temperature of 26 to 40°C, it starts to radiate ions intensively. The ions positively stimulate energy points of human body, immune system and channels, functioning of nerve centres, transfer of nerve impulses, metabolism etc. This physiotherapic actively heated physiotherapic product (a mattress, pillow, blanket, item of clothing or separate element(s) of clothing) is very comfortable and safe, relatively soft, can be of any shape, can be used in sitting, semi-lying and lying, as well as side- lying position etc. As the intensity of biological field induced around amber is relatively high, the product can be used not only for disease prevention and health enhancing procedures, but also for common and severe disorder therapy, separately or with other treatment products and methods.
Description
The invention belongs to the area of
medicine, in particular physiotherapy, disease
prevention and disorder treatment by using amber. The
invention is related to measures (devices) used in
physiotherapy, disease prevention and disorder
treatment that have positive effect on a human (or
other living organism/individual), enhance human's
physical health and boost (stimulate) his immune
system. In particular, the invention is related to
usage of natural amber in physiotherapy products and/or
equipment.
Physiotherapy is treatment by employing
physical factors: water, heat, light, sound,
electricity etc. Physiotherapy is the science that
focuses on the effect of natural and non-natural
physical factors on a human body and their application
in disease prevention, disorder treatment and
rehabilitation. Physiotherapy, both in theory and in
practice, is primarily based on treatment by physical
actions that influence an organism though reflexes and
neurohumoral responses, i.e. regulates physiological and
biochemical bodily functions, stimulates general
activity of nervous system and biologically active
substances (mediators, hormones, hormonoids) and
directly influences through physical and chemical
reaction. Physiotherapy is one of the safest, most
natural and oldest ways of treatment that applies
principles and methods extending back many thousands
of years, thus remaining a relevant branch of science
throughout the history and a basis for development of
new devices, all serving the common goal of
maintaining balance between a human (a living
organism) and his ambience to sustain long and quality lives.
Amber is a fossilized tree resin, a
mineral of organic nature that has formed as a result
of solidification of coniferous plant resin. On the
other hand, amber is a fossilized material that has
absorbed the heat of the sun and the energy of blue sky
and has been warming and protecting humans from
prehistoric times to present. Research activity aimed
at studying amber at various angles has intensified
during the recent decades, after it was noticed that
natural amber possessed sufficiently intensive and
positive effect on a living organism, while animals were
noticed to be subject to direct effect (e.g. dogs,
cats). Yet, certain questions remain unanswered, such
as the actual effect of amber in general and why and how
the biological field of humans (or any other living
organism) is able to experience the
'compensating' effect of amber. There is
presently a pool of empirical data about positive
effect of natural amber on a living organism, while the
true mechanism of transfer of such an effect remains
partially undiscovered i.e. the mystical stone as this
mineral used to be considered back in times is still
under a certain veil of mystery even in modern
laboratories. Amber has been known since ancient times
as a stimulant for blood coagulation (clotting), a
remedy against vomiting and bacteria. Ancient Greeks
used to call amber 'an electron' (thus
stressing electrostatic properties of amber),
Lithuanians - 'a protector' (protection
against illnesses), while in Russian, amber means
'the Earth energy'.
An international patent application No.
WO2010110633 is known to have been published 30
September, 2010. This patent application refers to a
sauna with infrared radiation containing a hollow stand
located in the centre of the sauna. The stand, coated
with a layer of amber on the outside, serves as an
enclosure for infrared radiation source. The limitation
of such sauna is a smell of amber that may cause
allergic reaction in certain people. In this sauna,
amber is subject to fairly high temperatures, while
amber tends to irreversibly loose its primary natural
healing properties even at relatively low temperatures
(starting from 50°C). Furthermore, infrared radiation
is suspected of stimulating tumour growth. As a result,
such saunas with infrared radiation are not
universally suitable for everyone, and the effect of
amber in them is largely insignificant. Moreover,
description and drawings of the application suggest
that there is a rather large distance between amber
and a human body (more than a couple of centimetres),
thus there is practically no interaction between
biological (electromagnetic) field generated by the
human body and amber.
Another known patent is Chinese patent
No. CN101773353 published 14 July, 2010. The
patent describes a rehabilitation/prevention/treatment
pillow that can be filled with certain herbs, the
scents of which boost immune system and stimulate
certain nerve centres, depending on the types and
sorts of herbs used. The limitation of this pillow is
the absence of heating function or amber; the function
of the pillow is based solely on aroma.
Russian patent No. RU2128984 was
published 20 April, 1999. The patent describes an
amber tub made of marble panel with ledge and a level
layer of poured amber gravel. The total mass of amber
gravel is about 40 kg. The marble panel together and
the layer of amber gravel are heated to 37-38°C.
Duration of preventive/healing procedure: 15-30 minutes.
The invention possesses several limitations: the
procedure is difficult to perform in home conditions
because such tub (basically, a table with ledge)
requires space; heating of the marble panel with 40 kg
of amber requires a number of specialized equipment
and large amount of energy (electricity); the amber tub
is practically inaccessible for personal use due to high
costs/investments, as the cost of 40 kg of amber is
rather high; in addition, straight lying on amber
gravel is not a relaxation procedure as such. Another
inadequacy is that a person in need of such a
procedure (radiculitis, joint diseases, post surgery
etc.) would experience difficulties climbing into and
out of such a tub.
Another known Lithuanian patent No.
LT5641 was published 25 March, 2010. The patent
describes a health enhancing amber table for
physiotherapy. This amber table is very similar to the
amber tub (RU2128984) described previously. The main
difference is that the surface of the amber table is
completely smooth, made of polished glued amber planks
and contains infrared radiation sources and/or visible
light emitting/heating energy sources underneath that
cause amber start radiating ions that stimulate energy
circulation down the energy channels of a human body.
However, besides being bulky, heavy, expensive and
uncomfortable to lie on, the amber table possesses
other drawbacks. First, amber will start to smell.
Presence of smell signals about a fairly intensive
local heating of amber that begins to lose its natural
properties. Second, besides amber (hardness of 2-3
Mohs), glue used in the structure also heats up (glue
is usually softer than amber) and also starts to
smell. This smell may cause allergy to not only
human's lungs (respiratory system), but also skin
(in particular, head area).
The closest issue to the technical
level is the Chinese patent No.
CN2049499
published 20 December, 1989. The
patent describes heated or cooled pillow that can be
used by a human both in sitting and lying positions.
Heating is provided through electricity, while cooling
function is achieved by filling the pillow with cold
water or ice. However, amber filling is not used in
such a pillow. The patent also fails to indicate the
optimum temperature. Furthermore, the pillow does not
radiate ions, with its effect being merely the one of warming/cooling.
The purpose of this invention is
to create an actively heated product (e.g. a
mattress, pillow, blanket, slippers, item of
clothing, or separate element(s) of clothing),
comprising:
double frame with bags filled with
natural amber filling on one side;
actively heated semi-rigid panels
inserted between the two sides/sectors of the frame;
retainers to secure the product
closely adjacent to a human body (e.g. to the
back), and
special electric power supply to
heat and maintain a required temperature in the
above mentioned heated semi-rigid panel for a
required period of time;
intended for:
heating natural amber contained in
the above mentioned product to the optimum
temperature of 26-40°C by employing a special
power supply and
putting the frame part with
actively heated amber filling closely adjacent
or at a certain distance (a couple of cm) to a human body;
with the aim to:
heat natural amber to the
temperature at which amber starts to radiate
ions, the radiation and effect of which intensify
significantly after the temperature of natural amber
reaches 26-40°C, and which positively stimulate
energy points and channels of a human body, function
of nerve centres, transmission of nerve
impulses, cellular activity, metabolism etc.; and
induce electromagnetic field
around amber by biologically active
electromagnetic field of a human (hereinafter -
biological field of a humane) and initiate
interaction between biological field of a human
and the induced biological field created by human
around amber, with human's biological field
positively responding to such an interaction
(tranquilizing, yet stimulating) and directly
influencing nerve/reflex centres and energy channels.
Given that the intensity of the
mentioned biological field induced around amber
is relatively high (currently under research),
a fairly large number of trials of
the actual material on humans have been
implemented and have succeeded to demonstrate that
actively heated amber has positive effect in
suppressing back pain;
certain trials of the actual
material on animals (dogs, cats) have been
implemented and have demonstrated strong reaction of
the animals to amber even in cold state;
hence, such actively heated
effective products can be used not only for
disease prevention or health enhancing treatments,
but also for therapy of common diseases (in
certain cases, the above mentioned products can
be applied in treatment of severely ill patients
under a doctor's supervision).
The essence of the invention is
the product (a structure) that combines
knowledge about:
the property of heated natural
amber to radiate ions that positively influence
a human's (living) organism;
optimum temperature of natural
amber (26-40°C) that supports the most intensive
and effective radiation that is also the safest
both to human organism and to natural amber;
ability of a human (living
organism) to induce a field around amber with
his own biological field, where the human (or the
animal) positively responds to the effect of
electromagnetic field (including other
components, if any) created around amber;
The designed actively heated
physiotherapic product (a mattress, pillow,
blanket, item of clothing or separate element(s)
of clothing) is very comfortable and safe,
relatively soft, can be of any shape, can be
used in sitting, semi-lying and lying, as well as
side-lying position etc .
The essential uniqueness of the invention:
the product contains natural amber;
natural amber used in the product
is actively heated to the temperature of 26-40°C;
a required temperature is
maintained for a required period of time by
using special power supply (with appropriate sensors);
the product is easy to use and affordable:
does not require any separate
place (compared with amber tub or amber table);
lightweight;
relatively inexpensive;
does not cause thermal shock
(compared with sauna);
does not smell and does not cause
allergy through respiratory system or skin
(compared with amber table);
can be secured to human body using
retainers (a person can engage in other activity
in the course of the procedure);
procedures can be performed at
home, in a calm environment and at a convenient time;
safe to use (12V DC voltage);
furthermore, the preheated product can be laid
on after cutting off the voltage, as the
temperature of amber is further maintained by human
body, which is normally higher than 26°C and
lower than 50°C (if the latter temperature limit is
reached, a complete destruction of primary
properties of amber starts).

an actively heated mattress filled with natural amber
that has to be secured to a human body (or be laid on
by a human) and be used for disease prevention, health
enhancing treatment and therapy of common disorders.

an actively heated pillow filled with natural amber
that has to be secured to a human body (or be laid on

mentioned mattress as one of the end products.
Humans tend to turn to nature and its
naturalness more often: nature is the place to look
for answers to numerous questions, the place to find
new natural and effective methods of improving physical
and spiritual health. Natural amber is a noteworthy
and still not fully discovered material. Most
scientists agree that amber is an amorphous natural
derivative of organic nature. Amber is a solidified
derivative of resin secreted by Pinus Succinifera or
other species of pine tree millions of years that
resembles a mineral. Chemical formula of amber is
C10H16O. Amber contains about 8%
of amber acid (has been used in pharmacology since
ancient times), as well as various other additives.
Most scientists and people working with amber propose
that amber can improve biophysical aspects of human
organism and separate organs, improve healing of
tissues and organs and functioning of central nervous
and digestive systems. It has been noticed that under
the influence of amber, the number of cancer diseases,
inflammatory, degenerative processes in joints and top
layers of skin tends to decrease, ear, eye, stomach
and tooth pain is suppressed, rheumatism is treated.
Nowadays amber is also used in treatment against
urinary bladder, stomach illnesses, bronchitis,
jaundice, myopia, cataract, heart diseases and angina.
Amber removes kidney stones, stimulates urination.
Moreover, doctors used amber for treating children
that had suffered from Chernobyl catastrophe and were
largely subject to thyroid disorders. Rooms with
patients used to be filled with smoke of amber to
disinfect the air of the premises.
Recently it has been discovered that
the best healing properties are present only in
natural amber. Specialists in this field define
natural amber as non-polished or non-processed amber
that may even be in the form of fine pieces with bark
containing the most valuable substances. Natural amber
must not be crushed; only washing with simple water is
acceptable. It has also been noticed that if heated
above a certain temperature, amber starts to
irreversibly lose its primary healing properties. Such
threshold temperature is not as high as it is usually
considered. The temperature of just 50°C evokes
intensive processes irreversibly destroying primary
healing properties of amber. Thus any amber used in
saunas or illuminated using incandescent (or other
wave length) lamps, infrared radiation sources etc.,
gradually (or rapidly) and irreversibly loses its actual
and natural healing properties. It had been discovered
earlier that warm amber radiates ions that stimulate
energy points and channels of a human body,
functioning of nervous system, transfer of nerve
impulses, cellular activity, metabolism etc.
Nevertheless, it was modern science that succeeded to
determine the range of such favourable temperature,
which is fairly narrow. Medical tests have
demonstrated that the healing effect starts intensifying
with 26°C and is maintained until the temperature
starts to exceed 40°C. Temperature of amber above 40°C
is undesirable, and unacceptable when above 50°C. This
is just one of the aspects related to amber ions and
optimum temperature. Another peculiar effect has
appeared to be the essential one. During experiments
with animals, the animals were noticed to distinctly
react to amber even in cold state: animals attempt
lying on it covering as larger area as possible,
completely calm down, sleep tight, do not respond to
being called etc. These experiments have prompted a
theory about a field induced by amber. The situation is
similar to the gravitational model: when a material
object creates a gravitational field around itself,
and another object enters this gravitational field
created by the first object, the second object
becomes, on one hand, exposed to the field of the
first object and, on the other hand, to another
gravitational field that is induced around it (i.e.
the second object), which leads to both objects
'sensing each other' and reacting upon each
other. Despite continuing failure to identify
gravitons (hypothetical elementary particles), all
theorists and practitioners model their experimental
equipment taking into consideration gravitons as a
completely usual and unavoidable aspect. The concept
of gravitational model can be applied to amber as well.
Human body is known to generate a certain
electromagnetic field. As it is not clear whether this
biologically active electromagnetic field of a human
contains only electric and magnetic or any other
additional components, for the sake of higher accuracy
we will further refer to this biologically active field
of a human as a biological field of a human comprised
of any scientifically proven and still undiscovered
interacting elements. Hence, if amber is placed next to
a human body (at a distance of couple centimetres or
less), biological field of the human starts inducing a
certain field (in fact, biological field is always
present around a human body and always acts as a kind of
'scanner' of the ambience), and this field
induced around amber starts interacting with the
primary biological field created by the human. The
actual mechanism of such an interaction and the
reasons why the field induced around amber possesses
positive/restorative/compensatory properties are not
clear and, hopefully, will be discovered in future. So
far, it is important that a present sufficient pool of
empirical data has already proven the existence of such
an interaction. Consequently, the field created by a
human body when it is close to amber (in particular,
natural amber) can be reasonably considered to have
positive effect on the organism of the same human who
has created that field through interaction. In case of
optimum temperature (26-40°C) of amber, the effect of
this induced field is significantly stronger, though it
also exists at lower temperatures. Moreover, it has
been noticed that the effect of non-sanded or
non-polished amber is stronger. The reason for this may
be illustrated and explained by the fact that the area
of surface of natural amber stones is relatively large
and irregular - neither flat, nor dimensional. Thus, the
field induced under the influence of natural amber is
'dimensional', while polished/sanded amber
induces the field that lacks certain components, i.e.
becomes 'flat'.
Based on the above information,
results of empirical clinical trials and decades-long
observations, a range of products were developed
within the scope of this invention.
Fig. 1 depicts the overview scheme of
an actively heated mattress with natural amber filling
that must be secured to a human body (or be laid on)
and used for disease prevention, health enhancing
treatment and therapy of common disorders. Actively
heated mattress (1) as in Fig. 1 consists of: double
mattress frame (2), sewing threads (3), shaped bags
filled with natural amber (4), actively heated
semi-rigid panels (5), power input socket (6) and
power supply (7). The double frame (2) acts as the
backing of mattress (1) and consists of solid fabric
layer on one side (bottom) and double-layer fabric on
the other side (upper) with natural amber placed between
the layers of the upper side. The fabric used for the
double frame (2) is natural and non-allergic, e.g.
natural linen. The layers of the upper side of the
double frame (2) are further stitched together as
shown in Fig. 1 using appropriate sewing equipment.
The depicted stitches (3) create pockets that are filled
with natural amber. Afterwards, the same sewing
equipment is used to stitch up the pockets (with the
sewing machine moving down the edge, along the perimeter
of the mattress), thus forming bags (4) with natural
amber secured inside. Sewing threads (3) are also made
of non-allergic material. A semi-rigid actively heated
panel (5) is inserted into the formed double frame (2)
(square, rectangular or any other regular/irregular
geometric shape) along the perimeter of the frame. The
actively heated panel (5) is semi-rigid and elastic
rather than soft, in order to keep the stable shape of
the mattress. The bonding strength between the panel
and the material of the double frame (2) must be high
enough to prevent the panel from sliding. The
application requires electricity to heat the actively
heated panel (5) and complies with all relevant safety
criteria and requirements. The actively heated
semi-rigid panel (5) contains power input socket (6),
usually supplied with 12 V DC power. As the usual
mains power line supplies ~220 V AC, a power supply (7)
is provided to convert ~220 V AC into 12 V DC. One
wire lead of the power supply is connected to the
mains power line (~220 V), another - to the power input
socket (6). In order to increase the temperature of
the actively heated panel (5) to a certain level and
maintain the level of temperature for a required period
of time, a power source (7) is required and must
support the functions of heating the actively heated
panel (5) to the temperature (ideal: 26 to 40°C) and
maintaining the temperature for the period of time
(ideal: 30 to 40 minutes) as required by the routine,
which depends on the scope/need of the procedure.
Fig. 1 provides the overview of a
mattress (1) for a person to lie on the back and
perform prevention/healing treatment for the back
area. Nevertheless, the same ideas, principles and
knowledge may be applied to create a variety of other
actively heated products with natural amber filling
e.g. a pillow, blanket, belt, band, slippers, item of
clothing, separate element(s) of clothing etc.
Fig. 2 provides the overview scheme
of an actively heated pillow with natural amber
filling to put against a human's body (or for a
person to lie on/put his head on) and perform preventive
treatment, health enhancing treatment and therapy of
common disorders . For example, in this case, the
product (the pillow) is intended to be used during head
area preventive/healing procedures.
If needed, special retainers can be
attached to an actively heated product to secure the
product (1) to a person's body. The solution to
use the retainers would enable the person to perform
preventive treatment and engage in other activity/work
at the same time etc.
The general method of using the
mentioned actively heated products with natural amber
filling covers the following steps:
- 1) the product (1) that takes about 10 minutes to heat up is preheated to a required temperature by using the power supply (7) and selecting a required intensity of heating;
- 2) the person takes off warmer clothes, lies down on the product (1) (e.g. the mattress), or the product is put against the respective part/area of the body;
- 3) the person remains quiet in a lying position for a certain period of time (ideal: 30 to 40 minutes);
- 4) when approximately 10 minutes of the session are left, heating of the product (1) is turned off;
- 5) the person remains quiet in a lying position for the remaining period of time (about 10 minutes) until the mattress gradually cools down;
- 6) the procedure is repeated every other day for the first two weeks, and several times a week after a couple of (two) weeks.
Depending on the type of disorder and
its location, the use of the described product (1) may
differ slightly i.e. a body part/area that the product
with amber is put against or duration of the procedure
may be different.
The use of the described product (1)
and its application method may help cure chronic
diseases, relieve stress, improve heart health, blood
circulation, digestive and bowel function, respiratory
system; suppress excessive appetite, avoid headaches,
migraine, potency and prostate disorders; pregnant
women will have more chances to deliver a healthy and
strong baby and experience easier childbirth.
As the intensity of effect of the
product is fairly strong from biological perspective,
the product can be used not only for disease
prevention, but also for treatment of disorders under a
doctor's supervision. The following examples show
application of the product in treatment of severely
ill patients.
- 1) 51-year-old male was complaining of constant back pain. A spine surgical procedure was planned. Because of the spine problems, the patient was officially qualified as incapable for work and received an appropriate benefit scheme. After regular procedures using this invention, spine pain receded, the surgical procedure was cancelled, moreover, the man's capability for work restored to its previous level.
- 2) A female was complaining of headaches (suffering from migraine two days in a row). After the first procedure using this invention for 40 minutes, the headache completely disappeared.
- 3) A male had a spine hernia and, after medical consultations, a surgical procedure was planned. After regular procedures using this invention, spine pain completely disappeared; the person presently does not feel any pain and is able to successfully engage in physical labour. The surgical procedure was cancelled.
- 4) A female was complaining of heart rhythm disorder. A warm pillow with natural amber filling was put against her chest (in the area of heart). In this case, the procedure lasted for 10 minutes. After only three procedures using this invention, the heart rhythm completely restored to normal.
Fig. 3 provides an image of the
mentioned mattress as an end product.
