Searched paragraphs were analysed for establishing historical and theoretical bases of thermotherapy and cryotherapy in Korean medicine.
Results :Thermotherapy of cutaneous and muscle meridian(Ìèù«ÌèÐÉè®æðèþÛö) such as hot pack, warm water therapy, paraffin bath, ultrasound is originated from yu(À§), warm water(è®â©), hot water(æðâ©).

Its objective is to improve the effects of herb medicine by aiding sweating or to treat the residual symptoms of fever disease or to care skin disease and pain from bone fracture, contusion. Cryotherapy of cutaneous and muscle meridian(Ìèù«ÌèÐÉùÎÒ²èþÛö) such as ice pack, ice spray, iced whirpool, cool water bath is originated from lengfu(Ҳݧ), lengtie(Ò²ôä), lengshiyu(Ò²à´À§). Matching indications are contusions, animal bite injury, corn(ë¿í©) and linbing(×úÜ»), eye disease, nasal bleeding, hemorrhoid, inflammatory skin disease and chicken pox.
