Once you use a hot water bottle, you won’t know how you got along without it! The hot water bottle is one of the most useful general-purpose health care products you will ever use. It is designed to apply comfortable, soothing
heat therapy easily and conveniently to any part of the body.
Fill it with hot water from the sink or the kettle (be careful to get all the air out first and pay attention while filling it). It will stay warm anywhere from 2 hours to all night.
The benefits include delivering nurturing comfort enabling a deep state of relaxation, alleviating aches by releasing endorphins, the body’s own “feel good” pain reliever and relaxing particular muscles or an entire tensed-up
body.
Here are some additional uses:
- aches & pains- Sore backs, stomach aches, muscular tension, stress, and chills from cold and flu
- bed warmer- A cozy warm hot water bottle placed in your bed makes for a comfy night especially during cold winter storms
- menstrual cramps- A hot water bottle on the abdomen brings pain relief and soothing comfort
- flu: chills & aches- A warm soothing companion to help you through a nasty bout with the flu
- secure feeling- Warmth provides a feeling of security – in bed on your own try a hot water bottle as a snuggling, cuddling “bed buddy”
- warm your feet- Keep your feet warm for a long time
- arthritic pain- Natural moist heat therapy for arthritic pain relief, especially pain for arthritic hands
- soothes children- Children ill or upset can use it as a warm cuddly companion to provide a calm secure feeling
- traveling companion- Take it with you on trips – in planes or buses. No electricity needed
- animals/puppies- Placed under a blanket, a warm hot water bottle soothes new puppies in new surroundings – Provides warmth and security and calms them down. Reports that arthritic conditions in many dogs are improved with warm heat
- sleep tight- To help you sleep after a high-stress day, lie down with a hot water bottle on your stomach, close your eyes and breath deeply, so the bottle rises and falls. We carry a lot of tension there and the weighted heat releases it. Try it!
