Oriental medicine
This is a medical treatment to apply a mild (up to 65deg) heat on certain spots on your body, much like moxibustion. In analogy with acupuncture and acupressure, I tried acutherm and acuheat, but people don't seem to use them :-)
What is the most prevalent way to refer to this? If there isn't, then I will just use thermal stimulation.
