1. The process of electrical stimulation which comprises the steps of:

  • a. applying a perspiration-resistant gel composition comprising a major proportion of waterfrom 1/20th of 1 wt. % to 10 wt. % of a long chain water soluble ionic polymeric thickener having a Brookfield viscosity (CPS) of approximately 1,000 to 100,000 at a 1 wt. % concentration in H2 O, which has been neutralized with an alkali metal hydroxide,from 1/1,000 of 1 wt. % to 3 wt. % of a cellulosic backbone auxiliary thickener having no metallic ion constituent which has at least one primary hydroxy group attached to each repeating unit in the cellulose backbone having a 1 wt. % solution viscosity (Brookfield) at 25°

    C. of from 100 to 10,000 andfrom 10.5 to 25 wt. % of a polyol humectant wherein said gel has a pH of between 3.5 to 11.5, to the surface of an animal, including humans,b. firmly contacting the resulting gel area with at least one metal electrode,c. applying a galvanic force between said electrode and said surface.
