4 Amazing Health Benefits You Need to Know About Heat Therapy – Warmies™ World Blog – Warmies USA

People in the U.S. are not strangers to chronic pain. Over 20% of Americans deal with pain on a nearly daily basis. From menstrual cramps to injuries to muscle issues, people suffer from chronic pain in various forms.

Concerns about addiction make many people reluctant to take medication to manage their pain. But living with pain isn't easy.

Thankfully there are other, more natural ways to manage chronic pain. Heat therapy is a low-cost, yet effective method that works well for many people. Check out the benefits of heat therapy for pain relief here.

Relaxation

Heat is often associated with relaxing and comforting activities, like a warm bath or wrapping up in a blanket to watch TV. The soothing effect of heat can help people relax and lessen the intensity of non-inflammatory pain, which includes:

Muscles aches and knots
Stiffness
Osteoarthritis pain
Menstrual cramps
Discomfort because of neuropathy or restless leg syndrome
Lower back pain
General pain and sensitivity

Eases Muscle Tension

Heat therapy allows muscles to gently stretch and lengthen, easing tension on joints and bones. It may surprise some people to know that many types of pain are caused by tense muscles, putting undue pressure on other parts of the body.

Anyone who has ever tried to stretch while their muscles are cold knows that they have less flexibility. Warm up the muscles by doing a few light exercises or applying heat therapy and the muscles relax into a deeper stretch.

Shop Neck Wraps

Increases Blood Flow

Heat therapy also helps blood flow tremendously. Heat causes the blood vessels to dilate — allowing blood to flow more freely.

This stimulation is helpful when dealing with pain due to injuries as the increased blood flow will help speed recovery by bringing more of the nutrients and materials the body needs to heal. It is also useful for other types of pain by bringing proteins and oxygen and removing waste.

Shop Eye Masks

A Better Night's Sleep

50 to 70 million Americans struggle with a sleep disorder. Not getting enough sleep can contribute to chronic pain issues because the body needs these crucial hours of rest to repair itself. Heat therapy can help the body wind down and promote a more refreshing night's sleep.

Additionally, lavender works wonders to help people de-stress and enjoy a relaxing night of sleep. This makes our lavender-filled heatable products a perfect tool in the fight against pain.

Adorable hippo!

This baby hippo is the best cuddle buddy! When I have cramps or stomach aches, I plop him on my stomach and it feels so good. The little pink feet and the roll of fat on his neck are adorable details. So cute!

Very calming

It's summer here, so I haven't warmed this mask yet. Instead, I've been keeping it in the freezer as a cooling mask. It's great for headaches or afternoon naps. I look forward to warming it in the winter too!

Adorable whale!

This is one of the cutest Warmies I've gotten, which is a very tough competition. It looks exactly like the picture, or even cuter. Perfect to cuddle, especially when I put it in the freezer and use it to cool down.
