Material and apparel that positively affect the health and wellbeing of a mammal
A material and apparel that positively affect the health and well-being of a mammal include fibers that are formed with a semiconductor. Upon contact of the material or apparel with a region of the mammal's body, a positive effect occurs that relates to the health and wellbeing of that mammal. The material includes a region that includes an expanse. The expanse is formed with a semiconductor and constructed for contact with the skin of the mammal. The apparel has a body that includes a region that has a wearable form made of a semiconductor, and is constructed for making contact with a human body when the human wears the apparel.
1. A material for contacting a mammal with a body having a body part with swelling comprising:
a wearable expanse having a shape and a size customized to fit and support the body part in contact with skin on the body part;
the wearable expanse comprising a plurality of woven threads including a plurality of composite threads, each composite thread comprising a combination of at least three components including:
a first material comprising a plurality of fibers;
a plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles compounded with the plurality of fibers configured to release negative ions into the body part responsive to body heat to form an electromagnetic field in the body part;
a plurality of charcoal nanoparticles compounded with the plurality of fibers configured to release infrared waves into the body part responsive to body heat in the body part;
the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles and the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles configured to decrease the swelling upon contact with the skin of the body part using a transdermal effect from body heat flowing through the skin of the body part causing the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles to release the negative ions and form the electromagnetic field in the body part and the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles to release the infrared waves into the body part,
the support of the body part by the wearable expanse configured to mitigate the swelling.
2. The material of claim 1 wherein the plurality of composite threads includes polyester comprising the first material, germanium comprising the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles, and carbonized charcoal comprising the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles, the plurality of composite threads having a material composition of from 53% to 70% of the plurality of woven threads.
3. The material of claim 1 wherein the first material comprises cotton, nylon or polyester, the plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles comprise germanium, and the plurality of charcoal nanoparticles comprise carbonized charcoal.
4. The material of claim 1 wherein each composite thread also includes jade combined with the first material.
5. The material of claim 1 wherein the expanse comprises human apparel.
6. The material of claim 1 wherein the body part comprises a knee, a low back, a hip, a shoulder, a bicep, a calf, an ankle or a wrist and the expanse fits the knee, the low back, the hip, the shoulder, the bicep, the calf, the ankle or the wrist.
7. An apparel for a human having a body having a body part with swelling comprising:
a wearable form having a shape and a size customized to fit and support the body part in contact with skin on the body part;
the wearable form comprising a plurality of woven threads comprising:
a first percentage of semiconductor threads comprising a first material and a plurality of semiconductor nanoparticles embedded in the first material, the semiconductor threads configured to release negative ions into the body part responsive to heat in the body part to form an electromagnetic field in the body part;
a second percentage of charcoal threads comprising a plurality of charcoal nanoparticles embedded in a second material configured to release infrared waves into the body part responsive to heat in the body part;
the semiconductor threads and the charcoal threads configured to decrease the swelling upon contact with the skin of the body part and a transdermal effect from body heat flowing through the skin of the body part causing the semiconductor threads to release the negative ions and form the electromagnetic field in the body part and the charcoal threads to release the infrared waves into the body part,
the support of the body part by the wearable form configured to mitigate the swelling.
8. The apparel of claim 7 wherein the body part comprises a knee, a low back, a hip, a shoulder, a bicep, a calf, an ankle or a wrist, and the wearable form fits the knee, the low back, the hip, the shoulder, the bicep, the calf, the ankle or the wrist.
9. The apparel of claim 7 wherein the semiconductor threads include germanium nanoparticles embedded in cotton, nylon, or polyester.
10. The apparel of claim 7 wherein the charcoal threads include carbon embedded in polyester.
11. The apparel of claim 7 wherein the wearable form comprises a seamless, circularly knitted sleeve.
