Benefits:
- Cold slows blood flow, reducing swelling and pain. It's often best for short-term pain, like that from a sprain or a strain.
- The pack/pillow can be very helpful for tension headaches and migraines.
- Can be placed on the lower back or abdomen to reduce the symptoms of menstrual cramps by increasing blood flow to the area and increasing tissue elasticity, which results in muscle relaxation.
- Muscle soreness, stiffness and aches. It is used for more chronic issues with the aim to warm up the muscles, dilute the blood vessels and increase blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply to the area it is applied to, enhancing the recovery process.
- Applied to achy muscles and joints, stimulates the sensory receptors to block the transmission of pain signals to the brain, giving instant relief from pain. It is used for chronic low back pain, neck pain, muscle tightness, joint stiffness, period pain and pregnancy aches and pains.
Storage:
Do not store until cold. Ideally, store in a metal container when not in use.
Warning:
- Ensure there is an item of clothing or cloth between the heat pack and skin as it may irritate the skin
- Never use heat packs whilst sleeping.
