Another well known healing element not on the above list is copper. Copper is one of the natural crystals of the earth and allows the natural healing power in the body to be manifested.

It would find use in person afflicted with leg and lower back pain, tendinitis and such diseases as pulmonary disease. It is not intended to be a medical device or a substitute for a prescribed medication but simply brings the grounding of ones alignment with their center of energetic healing power.

The naturally occurring healing elements are normally presented in the form of crystals and may be crushed altered, fine fibers, thin pellet disks or half/whole crystals that are incorporated into the material making up the pantyhose/stocking. For example, in FIG. 1 ( a ), the material 9 incorporated into the waistband 1 takes the form of whole crystals of the healing element incorporated into both the front and back portions of the waistband. In the next figure, FIG. 1 ( b ), the healing elements take the form of thin pellet disks that are incorporate either into the back 11 or the front 13 of the waistband 5 , but not both sides.

FIG. 2 is perspective view of pantyhose illustrating the waistband incorporation of fine fibers of elements. This figure relates to FIG. 1 ( a ) and FIG. 1 ( b ), but differs in that the healing elements incorporated into the waistband 15 of the pantyhose 17 take the form of fine fibers 19 . Small dotes are used to represent the fine fibers 19 . As with the first two figures the fine fibers may be either in the front and back of the waistband or may be either in the front or back of the waistband.

FIGS. 3 ( a ) to ( c ) are perspective views of three different conventional pantyhose each of which incorporates healing elements into different locations on pantyhose. In all three views the healing elements are crushed altered and incorporated into the fabric making up the pantyhose. In FIG. 3 ( a ) the healing elements 21 are incorporates into the upper portion of the pantyhose 23 and are represented by dots. These elements extend downwardly from the waistband and end at about the crotch area of the pantyhose. The incorporated elements may be on all sides of the pantyhose or only the front or back as desired.

In FIG. 3 ( b ) the crushed altered healing elements 25 are incorporated into the two knee areas 27 of the pantyhose 29 . Clearly, if the beneficial results are only desired for one knee area, then only that area need have the incorporation of the healing elements built into the pantyhose.

The next figure, FIG. 3 ( c ), shows the crushed altered healing elements 31 incorporated into the peripheral outline which defines the shape of the pantyhose 33 . Included would be elements incorporated into the waistband 35 , the buttocks 37 , the length of both legs 39 and the crotch area 41 . Even the lower opened leg opening ends 43 of the pantyhose has the healing element incorporated around the area above the ankle of a user.

FIGS. 4 ( a ) to ( d ) are perspective views of pantyhose illustrating the incorporation of elements into upper ankle bands. The ankle bands would normally be about 3 to 4 inches above the bottom of a user's foot. The bands would serve the additional function of holding the lower portion of the pantyhose in place and keeping the support throughout. Several reinforcing materials could be used to make the ankle bands including VELCRO (i.e., hook and loop fasteners), LYRCA, elastic fiber or silicone.

Each of the individual figures FIG. 4 ( a ), 4 ( b ), 4 ( c ) and 4 ( d ) show the lower portion of pantyhose with two upper ankle bands. The distinguishing characteristic between these figures is that the form of the healing elements incorporated into the ankle bands is different in each figure. For example, in FIG. 4 ( a ) the elements incorporated into the ankle bands of the pantyhose 45 take to form of crushed altered elements 47 . In FIGS. 4 ( b ) and FIG. 4 ( c ), the elements incorporated into the ankle bands of the panty hoses 49 and 51 take to form of crushed altered elements 53 . The last figure, FIG. 4 ( d ), shows the healing elements incorporated into the ankle portion of the pantyhose 55 in the form of whole 57 and half crystals 59 of the healing elements.

In the examples shown and described the pantyhose were of the preferred footless design . Thus, allowing for the use of the pantyhose with saddles or opened toed shoes or the like. However, adding a lower foot engaging sock portion to the pantyhose could be done if desired. The term stocking as used in the claims to follows includes as is appropriate to the claim language, pantyhose with or without a foot engaging portions, stockings or hosiery that do not reach to the users waist or knee, as is appropriate. Choosing the particular healing element to be incorporated into the stocking would depend on the results desired and can vary as to the element chosen, the affliction to be treated or the region of the body afflicted.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention and the method of using the same has been described in the foregoing specification with considerable details, it is to be understood that modifications may be made to the invention which do not exceed the scope of the appended claims and modified forms of the present invention done by others skilled in the art to which the invention pertains will be considered infringements of this invention when those modified forms fall within the claimed scope of this invention.
