Apparatus for external medical treatment with the aid of light, comprising a light-emitting device which is intended to lie against or be held in the close proximity of acupuncture points on the body of an individual, and drive means for driving the light-emitting device, wherein the light-emitting device includes light-emitting diodes or corresponding elements and is adapted to emit monochromatic light of a predetermined wavelength, wherein the drive means (8, 9, 10) is adapted to cause the light-emitting device (1) to emit the monochromatic light over a predetermined period of time, and wherein the drive device (8, 9, 10) is adapted to cause the light-emitting device (1) to pulsate the light in accordance with a predetermined pulse frequency. The invention is characterized in that the drive means (8, 9, 10) is adapted to cause the light-emitting device or light-emitting devices to emit the pulsating monochromatic light at a pulse repetition frequency in one of the ranges 5 Hz to 9.5 Hz, 22.2 Hz to 36.0 Hz or 273.8 Hz to 324.0 Hz.
