This low-frequency current generates an alternating magnetic field, which is applied to the living body P. All of the constituent tissues and body fluids of a living body can be considered as conductors that conduct electricity, and therefore, eddy currents flow in the living body due to the application of the alternating magnetic field hI. The density of the eddy current flowing in a closed loop perpendicular to the direction of the alternating magnetic field is
=μ·R−B−CO3(2πft> where μ: conductivity R: radius B: magnetic flux density f: frequency, and the living body P is heated by this eddy current and the resistance loss of the living body. However, due to the electrical characteristics of cell membranes, at low frequencies of several tens of KtlZ or less, stimulation effects due to body eddy currents, heat generation, and IJ0 warming effects are noticeable (several tens of KHz).
In the above cases, the main effect is fever/warming), and this stimulating effect promotes metabolism, so it has a large therapeutic effect.

In this way, in the device of this embodiment, since the alternating magnetic field is generated using a low frequency current, it is easier to increase the current compared to when using a high frequency current. In particular, it is possible to apply the commercial power supply frequency (50 to 120 Kl (Z) as is), and the power supply section in this case can be configured extremely easily.In addition, it is easier to handle than high frequency, and it does not generate heat or heat. Since the warming effect is also proportional to the magnetic field strength, the heat generation efficiency is improved by several tens of percent, and it is possible to heat not only the superficial tissues but also the deep parts of the body. Because of the arrangement, a highly uniform magnetic field is formed, and eddy current and resistance loss in the living body P are reduced to one beam, which has various advantages.
