Abstract: An equipment for the treatment of lymph blockages, hyperacidic musculature and the like, containing a switching circuit to generate a series of voltage impulses and two contact devices to apply these voltage impulses to a to-be-treated part of the body in order to achieve a mechanical vibration stimulation, is provided so that the switching circuit generates a series of high voltage impulses and contains a current limiting circuit, and that one of the contact devices has a high transfer resistance to human skin, while high filed intensities at higher mechanical loading capacity should be achieved.
