Abstract: In a stimulus method, a stimulus applying apparatus is attached to an area selected from a group of specific parts of a body surface by an acupuncture needle(s) or heating etc. thereby releasing the stress, and a stress-free medical treatment method based on the stimulus method.

Abstract: An autoimmune disease treatment method includes applying a thermal stimulus to a specific area to be stimulated at a body surface with a stimulus applying apparatus so as to bring an increase rate of blood flow to 60% or more. The blood flow is measured by a laser Doppler tissue blood flow meter attached to a central part of an inner side of a wrist joint.

Abstract: According to the present invention, the application of thermal stimulus which are effective on medical conditions are provided in a database. And the increase rate of blood flow before and after applying stimulus to a specific site is compared with the increase rate in the database storing the rate of increase which is previously effective on a medical condition. And when the increase rate of blood flow by application of the thermal stimulus at a selected specific site reaches the increasing blood rate flow which is previously effective on a medical condition, the effect of thermal stimulus is recognized. And the increase rate of blood flow which is effective on a medical condition is 30% or more, preferably 100% or more.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining start timing of supply of drug to be given in which a peripheral circulatory function and an autonomic nervous function are activated through a stimulus applied to a stimulus application origin part of a body surface by an acupuncture needle or warm heating etc., and a drug conveyance system according to the method for determining start timing of supply of drug.

Abstract: A method for expressing a homeostatic function activating gene, comprising a step of applying a thermal stimulus, which is lower than 50 degrees Celsius, to at least a stimulus application origin part, which is a part between first and second toes of left or right foot sole, and which is located at an intersection of an extended line of a medial edge and a vertical line of the medial malleolus, by using an electric type warm temperature heating stimulus apparatus, thereby increasing a blood volume.

Abstract: In a stimulus method, a stimulus applying apparatus is attached to an area selected from a group of specific parts of a body surface by an acupuncture needle(s) or heating etc. thereby releasing the stress, and a stress-free medical treatment method based on the stimulus method.
