There is no doubt about it, applying heat to an aching body part will
provide relief from pain and stiffness.
How Does Heat Ease Your Pain?
For centuries, heat has been used as a simple yet effective
way to manage your pain and joint or muscular stiffness. Deep and
penetrating heat not only relieves your pain but also enhances your
recovery
process.
By applying a heat pack to your painful joints and muscles,
the heat stimulates your sensory receptors to block the
transmission of pain signals to the brain, resulting in an instant and
effective pain
relief.
Even if you are a chronic pain sufferer, heat packs can help relieve
your discomfort - NOW and for many years ahead!
If you've been suffering with either stiffness or pain that feels better
when you apply heat, have a warm relaxing bath or a hot shower.
Alternatively if you have microwave then a wheat-heat pack could be the
best investment you'll make this year.
How Does Heat Help You?
- By increasing tissue elasticity, heat reduces your resting
muscle tension and helps to relax those nasty painful knots.
- Your pain is quickly eased via the sedation and soothing of any
pain-irritated nerve endings.
- The deep heating effect increases your blood flow to the
painful area, bringing more nutrients to the injured area while flushing
out the injured debris. This helps to quicken your healing rate.
- The deep heat also promotes a speedier healing rate by
stimulating your natural metabolic rate. In other words, there is more
energy available to fix the injury quicker.
What's the Advantage of Wheat-Heat Packs?
- Can be heated in a microwave with turntable in about two minutes
- A strong but soft fabric allows for comfortable use and an
ability to mould to your body shape, which is great for those super
curvy areas such as your neck, knees and shoulders.
- You can even pop it in bed with you during those cold winter
nights.
