This study was designed to investigate the physical and blood changes on the human body of 18 clinical subjects who received the abdominal injection thermotherapy. Also, diverse changes in the human physiology were investigated by blood tests and physical changes before and after the abdominal injection thermotherapy. The results were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics V.20. The changes in the blood flow were measured in 8 clinical subjects by measuring the hand blood pressure in the left and right fingers 10 times each before and after the thermotherapy. The blood pressure in the right hand of the control group has decreased by 8.2 mmHg in the systolic pressure and 0.6 mmHg in the diastolic pressure. And the one of the test group has increased by 8.23 mmHg in the systolic pressure and 4.73 mmHg in the diastolic pressure. The changes in the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger showed significance, however, not in the index finger. The blood pressure in the left hand of the control group has decreased by 4.6 mmHg in the systolic pressure and 9.6 mmHg in the diastolic pressure. And the one of the test group has increased by 11.9 mmHg in the systolic pressure and 5.3 mmHg in the diastolic pressure. The changes in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger all showed significance, however, the diastolic changes in the middle finger did not show significance. It seemed that the abdominal injection thermotherapy has influence on the changes of the blood flow of the hand blood pressure. The test group of the thermotherapy showed decrease in the body weight by 1~4 kg, waist measurement by -2.35 cm, degree of obesity by -4.33%, and body mass index by -0.76 kg/m2 while showing increase in the body temperature by 0.5oC on average, all with significance (p<.05). The control group showed no significant physical change. The blood test after the thermotherapy showed significant increase of hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, and neutrophils count with significant decrease of mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH),mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and white blood cell (p<0.05). On the other hand, there was a increase of red blood cell (RBC), hematocrit, and platelet, and decrease of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), however, these had no significance. The increase of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and decrease of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was observed in the liver function test, however, without significance. However, there were significant decrease of gamma glutamyl transferase, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, and increase of total bilirubin and amylase. The lipid and cardiovascular test results have shown significant decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and total cholesterol (p<.05) and non-significant increase in the total cholesterol and decrease in low density lipoprotein (LDL) after the abdominal injection thermotherapy. The blood glucose test, gout test, and kidney function test have shown significant decrease in uric acid and creatinine (p<0.05), but no significance in the decrease of fasting glucose and blood urea nitrogen before and after the abdominal injection thermotherapy. In conclusion, it could be understood that the thermotherapy has diverse influence on the physical and physiological changes of the clinical subjects. From this, it is considered to be a beneficial natural therapy which can be used for both prevention and treatment of the symptoms of diseases.
