Abstract
An auxiliary mat for a hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus, a hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus including the same, and a method of using the hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus are provided. In a hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus including a main mat and an auxiliary mat, a receiving groove is formed at a side of the main mat or the auxiliary mat, and an external hyperthermo-therapeutic unit is detachably mounted in the receiving groove. In a state where a user sits astraddle on the main mat or the auxiliary mat, the external hyperthermo-therapeutic unit is operated so that a hot compress effect or an effect generated by radiating far infrared rays can be simply obtained on a lower part of a user's body. Upon use of the hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus, there are advantages in that the user does not need to take an uncomfortable posture for receiving a hot compress on the lower part of her/his body.
