Abstract:
The Radfango therapy is one of the thermotherapies combined paraffin and peloid therapy. Thermal characteristics of Radfango therapy were examined and compared with those of indirect moxibustion and moxibustion-on-needle therapy. Melted Radfango at 58°C can be applied safely on skin (acupuncture points) and can heat them more strongly than other two therapies. Radfango therapy was applied on several chronic painful diseases with consideration of oriental medicine. These result suggest that Radfango therapy will be available more effectively than other thermotherapies on these diseases.
