| When to Use Heat Use heat to relax stiff muscles and increase circulation. Avoid using heat when there is swelling. After swelling has gone down, use heat to regain flexiblity. Check out the Mayo Clinic or the National Institutes for Health for more information on your specific conditions or needs.Why MOIST heat? Moist heat penetrates more deeply into muscles, joints and soft tissue for better pain relief; dry heat leaves skin dehydrated because it draws moisture out. Moist heat therapy is one of the most effective alternatives to pain medication. For more information visit Spine-Health. "I love your heating packs and have been sending & giving them out as gifts for friends who have not yet discovered the joys of heat." D.G. Berkley, CA When to Use IceThe general rule of thumb is to use ice when you need to reduce swelling and ease pain. Many doctors will recommend icing to help reduce inflammation from injuries, surgeries, or from sprains and strains. Consult a physician regarding severe pain and injuries. Product Information Maine Warmers ice packs are filled with whole corn and do not get as cold as a bag of frozen peas because the water content of the whole corn is significantly reduced. Whole corn has been dried about 70%. The whole corn ice pack may feel more comfortable than ice cubes or peas. Check with your physician to make sure our corn ice packs are effective enough. Our Mainely Ice pack has a soft flannel cover to hold a bag of frozen peas, which can be attached around the knee or elbow with its Velcro strap. It also comes with a bag of corn that may be frozen for gentle ice or microwaved for moist heat. |
