Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply mild stimulation to subcutaneous tissue, especially, a peripheral nerve by a method wherein the leading end part of a grip emitting far infrared rays is brought into contact with or opposed to a human body while a proper temp. state is held. CONSTITUTION:A switch 9 is turned ON to heat a ceramic substrate 5 and far infrared rays are emitted forwardly. When the temp. of the ceramic substrate 5 reaches set upper limit temp., for example, 50 deg.C, the supply of a current is controlled by a change in the electric resistance of ceramic itself and the temp. of said substrate is kept. The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave generated from the ceramics substrate 5 becomes that of infrared rays of 100mum or less by passing the electromagnetic wave through the microstructural polycrystal texture of the substrate but, since far infrared rays in a wavelength region of 4mum or more are good in the resonance absorption with an org. molecule, mild radiant heat can be sensed by a human body and has the penetration properties to the deep part of the human body.
