Abstract
An acupressure type rhinitis therapeutic device has at least three heat transfer acupressure members for transferring thermal stimulus from a heat source to a first acupressure point at the center of a glabella and to second acupressure points at opposite bottom sides of a nasal bone which are all effective acupoints in rhinitis therapy, which permits a user to obtain improved nasal blood circulation. A fire is not required as opposed to moxibution so that rhinitis can easily and safely be treated even at home. Further, there is little difference in the positions of the first and second acupressure points among individuals so that the rhinitis therapeutic device can be mass-produced.
