Abstract:
1. A magnetic therapeutic pad for a human spine comprising: a substrate layer; a support layer above the substrate layer, the support layer comprising five ridge frames spacing at distance from one another and adapted to extend generally parallel to the human spine, each of the five ridge frames being constructed of a board, upper edges of the boards being curved and protruding out from an upper surface of the substrate layer; wherein each board is continuous along the length of the pad; a buffer layer covers on the support layer; and a plurality of magnets disposed on the upper edges of the ridge frames according to the human meridian system; wherein: the five ridge frames respectively correspond to a Governor meridian, inner Urinary Bladder meridians, and outer Urinary Bladder meridians on a human's back; the upper edges of each ridge frame form a curvature that is compatible with a curvature of a human back; the magnets respectively match acupuncture points on the meridians that the ridge frames correspond to when a user is lying on the magnetic therapeutic pad; and each of the magnets are disposed in a hole formed at the protruding upper edge of each ridge frame; wherein N and S polarities of the magnets are arranged on each of the ridge frames in an alternating fashion so that any two neighboring magnets on each continuous board of the ridge frames have opposite polarities without a valley therebetween; and the magnets along a line perpendicular to the ridge frames have the same polarity in a symmetrical fashion.
