Electric device for thermally stimulating autonomic nervous system
 A home-use device for promoting health by stimulating thermally the autonomic nervous system, which consists of a head attached to a handle, the head comprises positive characteristic thermistor heaters, a heat conducting path intervened with heat barrier films, and skin contacting elements attached to the underside of the heat conducting path. The heat capacity of the head is determined to allow the temperature of the skin contacting elements to be somewhat higher than the temperature required for mild moxibustion, and the number of heat barrier films in the heat conducting path is adjusted to restrict the heat flow from the thermistor heaters to an amount to nearly compensate the lost heat by conduction from the skin contacting elements to the skin of a human body. Thus, the device can automatically attain to the required temperature for mild moxibustion on contacting to the skin.
