Study of effects of externally applied energy gradients (hot or cold) to living cells or biological organisms.

This is the opposite of internal combustion and steam engines which use heat and pressure to perform mechanical work. (origin: combining form thermal + therapeutics)
A modern scientist of thermaneutics may be studying infrared therapy, cryogenics, or the impact of heat induced sweat on inflammatory disorders.

Deistological Hermeneutics

Deistological Hermeneutics, also hermeneutical deistology, is a branch of deistology and deistography that seeks to applicate hermeneutics on deistology and deistography. Deistological hermeneutics seeks to understand deistology and deistography discoveries, reports and registers in a hermeneutical outlook. Also, deistological hermeneutics can also mean the idea to use deistology as an important tool inside hermeneutical understanding of religious texts, books and registers.
"Deistological hermeneutics might be really useful for theological deistology, mainly to finally find out if gods, spiritual beings and materialized extraphysical life forms really were living among humans in the past or not, but it might take a bit of time until deistology be completely developed to help to find this out."
