Hot heat is effective in relieving pain, causing hot vasomotor reactions, causing small vasodilation and local capillaries, which can spread to a part or the whole body. The vasodilating effect enhances circulation, enhances nutrition and local metabolism, thereby reducing the pain associated with chronic pain.
Hot heat is widely used to treat areas of inflammation caused by infection during the period of purulent inflammation (such as myositis, engorgement, pimples, pimples, etc ); treatment of non-bacterial inflammatory conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, perivitis); reduces masonry, dissolves hematoma after trauma .

Heat does not apply to purulent foci of inflammation, new congestion, bleeding or threatening bleeding, malignant tumors, tuberculosis, varicose veins of the skin, or a person with fever.
When using the heating method, attention should be paid to time and temperature. Warming time is about 20-30 minutes / time, 1-4 times / day, each time no more than 1/6 of the body area to avoid causing heat disorders. Regarding the temperature, care should be taken to avoid extreme temperatures, above 40 degrees as it may cause burns.
