Hot and Cold Therapy

Hot Therapy

         Hot therapy administered through our herbal heating pads helps provide dry heat to an area of chronic pain or injury.  Heat causes the blood vessels to dilate which brings more blood to the heated area - this in turn, increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients, removes waste from the area, decreases muscle spasms, relaxes tense and tired muscles, and therefore decreasing pain and increasing range of motion.  Our herbal heating pads can be used to relieve pain in joints and muscles.  The pads are ideal for use before exercise to relax achy muscles.  The heat from our herbal heating pads will bring more blood to the targeted area, which in turn will soothe and relax.

Cold Therapy

         Cold therapy helps reduce swelling and bruising resulting from more recent or acute injuries.  Cold causes the blood vessels to constrict which decreases the blood flow to the area.  Cold therapy has been shown to be greatly effective in reducing swelling and inflammation by slowing the flow of blood and other fluids to the injured area.  A cold pad is also beneficial in relieving the sensations of pain and restoring strength and mobility more quickly so that you can heal faster and feel better sooner.  Our herbal cold pad is more comfortable and easier to use than an standard ice pack because our pad molds better to the contours of the body.
