Working principle
Moist heat therapy has a history of more than 2,000 years in Chinese medicine. Its main function is "heat penetration", which was called "ironing" in ancient times. According to different conditions, it is combined with various drugs to enhance the functions of warming the tendons and unblocking the meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and dispersing cold and relieving pain. The moist heat physical therapy bag makes use of the heat - accumulating materials in the cloth bag. The heat and important water vapor emitted after heating act on the treatment site, and it can also be called moist heat compress therapy.
