Hot Water Bottle Bag For Massage & Heat Therapy

For a long time, people have applied heat to the body as an effective way to relieve muscle pain and stiffness. One of the most effective ways to apply heat locally is with a hot water bottle. Increasing the temperature on a specific area of the body improves circulation and blood flow, working to relax and soothe damaged tissue.

A  in the Journal of Clinical Medical Research showed that applying heat helps to preserve both muscle strength and activity. The greatest reduction in pain was seen immediately after application.

If you’re going to use a hot water bottle, it’s important to know when to use hot or cold therapy for pain. Generally, use cold for acute injuries and to reduce inflammation, and use heat for longer-term muscle pain, such as arthritis.

Knowing your best options for hot water bottles puts you one step closer to giving your sore muscles and cold feet what they need. (They’re also a great way to heat up your bed during cold winter months.)

Please note that you can also use your hot water bottle even when still pregnant. They are absolutely safe. Especially when used on your back, waist, sides and chest. Just try not to apply very hot ones directly on the baby bump. You can put it when warm. You would know what’s too much from the heat.
