Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cold and hot thermal treatment device. Hot heat and cold heat are produced by a heat production unit and are periodically and repeatedly transferred to a heat transfer unit that is in contact with a human body such that a temperature is not suddenly changed but is gradually changed. Thus, the device may be used when diagnosing whether vascular reactivity is maintained in corresponding hands and feet, may generate a temperature stimulus, and may repeatedly perform the temperature stimulus, thereby improving the vascular reactivity.
