To provide a warming effect not only in a local point but also in a relatively wide range round it by warming a local part of the body at a temperature higher than a hot water temperature of a specified temperature in the state where a part of the body or the whole body is dipped in the hot water of a prescribed temperature.
In the state where at least a part of the body including a part to be warmed is dipped in a hot water filled in, for example, a bathtub, bucket, or tub, the whole forearm part, for example, is dipped in the hot water within the tub in a warming treatment of forearm local point. The temperature of the hot water is generally set to a bathing temperature of 33-45°C. In the state where the whole forearm part is dipped in the hot water of 33-45°C, a local point of the forearm part is warmed at a temperature higher than this temperature of 37-55°C, preferably, a temperature higher by 1°C. In the warming treatment, a heating element of 37-55°C higher than the temperature of the hot water, for example, is applied, stuck, pressed or adhered to the local, point of the body. More easily, a disposable pocket body warmer 1 can be put in a vessel 2 covered with a waterproof sheet and locally adhered by an adhesive 4 after the mouth is fixed by a chuck 3.
