Warm
temperature applied topically is an effective means of relieving pain.
Mild
heat has a sedative effect on the nerve endings. Pain may also be
caused by the
accumulation in the tissues of waste product of metabolism and the
increased
blood flow through the affected area helps remove these products and so
relieve
pain. Muscles relax most readily when the tissues are warm, and the
relief of
pain does facilitate relaxation.
Cold
temperature, on the other hand, will constrict blood vessels and reduce
bleeding within the tissues thus facilitating initial healing of
injuries.
Our
range of thermo therapy products are therefore of great value as they
can
quickly be heated up in the microwave, mould themselves to the body and
give
instant warmth and pain relief.
Perfect
to ease arthritis, rheumatism and muscular aches and pain. Applied to
the neck
area, they will ease stress, tension, neck-ache and headaches. They can
be
placed in the freezer for one to two hours and applied cold to injury,
sprained
ankles and bruises, to lessen swelling. They are used cold as well to
reduce
fever.
The dried lavender flowers added to the wheat filling release essential
oil when heated. Lavender essential oil is commonly used in
aromatherapy. Its major clinical benefits are on the central nervous
system and several studies supports its use as a sedative, anxiolytic
and mood modulator. |
