What does warm compress mean?

Heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy or warm therapy, is a treatment method that uses heated敷料 (packs) as a medium to transfer appropriate heat to a patient's body. The primary effects of heat therapy include pain relief, improvement of medical conditions, enhancement of physical function, promotion of recovery, and improvement in the patient's quality of life. Heat therapy can help constrict blood vessels, reduce blood flow, decrease inflammation, and relieve pain. It also promotes detoxification, enhances the body's disease resistance, alleviates symptoms, and supports recovery. Before undergoing heat therapy, patients should consult a doctor to determine whether this treatment is suitable for them.
