There
are many uses for heating pads. Heat therapy (and cold as well) has
been used through out the ages as a remedy for back pain since heating
pads are one of the most effective and economical solutions on back
pains. But is it the only thing you can do with them? sooth pains and
that's it?
Here are some new and creative ideas to do with your heating pad.
Things You'll Need:
A heating pad!
How
about a way to help your baby fall asleep without you getting up every
20 minutes during the night.. Take a warm heating pad, wrap it with
your shirt (so that the baby would smell you and not the pad..), put it
next to the baby (or under him if the pad is flat and comfy). The
combination of heat and familiar smell will make him fall asleep fast
almost always.. Of course this should never substitute attention and
love, but at 4 a.m. you will love this great solution...
For
elderly people that suffer from chills and going into mini seizures
using a heating pad can prevent or help those moments. Carrying an
instant heat pad can really do wonders if a seizure starts. It will
help to calm down the person, thus decreasing any danger for their
live. Its a small and easy to implement tip that saved many lives
already and increased the life quality of many elder men and women.
When
doing a massage, a heating pad can elevate the experience from good to
unbelievable. First, keeping whoever gets the massage warm is a must,
and if the environment is cold (such as a corporate event with cold
rooms, or an outdoor
event on a cold afternoon) well, to say it will help is an
understatement.. Second, the small pocket size pads can replace the hot
stones. activating is instant, recharge is by boiling them - which also
makes sure its clean and hygienic for the next client.. so no need to
carry stones with you and heat them with candles. Instant heating pad is an time and money saver for every massage therapist.
Treating
acne is no fun. Many use electrical devices for heating areas of their
face, to speed the healing process. There are more ways to do it, like
hot towel or hot water during the shower that is applied for several
minutes, but their not as effective.. An instant heat small pocket pad
can do the job not bad and you can carry it in your purse for
emergencies. Its not the best, its the second best. But when outdoors,
that's very practical.
Tips & Warnings
There
are many types and sizes of heating pads, home made and professional.
Please do your own research to make sure that the one your getting can
accommodate your needs accordingly.
These
tips are in no way to replace proper medical advice when its needed.
Heating pads can benefit and increase your life quality, but always
consult a physician for any condition necessary.
Heating pads as seen on tv - NBC's Channel 2 review of our products Here's a nice coverage that Channel 2 news did about us a year ago. I love the part in the end where the news guy says he could use it right now for his back and neck pains... Funny thing is that each time they showed this one on tv, we got so many calls and orders.. we just love spreading our heating pads all over!
Made from 100% recycled eco-friendly hypoallergenic fleece.
Featuring unique design and softness against the skin.
The pouch concetrates the heat towards the body
rather than allowing it to spread to all directions. By this, the pouch
maximizes the heat time of the pad and prevents energy loss. (We choose to use energy saving, eco-friendly 100% recycled material because we care. do you?)
For outdoor use Make sure to tuck the heating pad under your clothes or inside your pockets before you
leave your house. In this way the pad will be kept warm to achieve
maximum heat when activated. The warmer the pad is when it is
activated, the longer it will stay hot.
How to maintain the product If the product is not being used frequently , we recommend storing it in its liquid form. The Helios-Pads
will activate on their own if they are frozen. If this occurs, the pad
must be recharged before use. To avoid this always store the pad where
it will not freeze.
How to get more heat instantly After you have clicked the heating pad and started to use it, you can get
more heat instantly simply by squeezing and shaking the substance inside. This idea is based on the simple kinesthetic principle of energy in motion equals heat!
How to get an instant double use with only one recharge To use the heating pad twice with only one recharge, simply boil it before using it. It
will remain hot in its liquid form about an hour, and than you can
click the coin for an additional hour and a half, or just put it aside
and click it later on. This way, you can use it twice during same day, on your way to work and back, with only one recharge!
Place the pad in the refrigerator (not the freezer!) for at least one hour. This
will allow the pad to cool down. The pad will keep its cool for more
time than any other water or herbal pack, because of the substances
inside (water, salt and vinegar).
How to make the heat last longer Warm the heating pad before you activate it by putting it in hot water. Activating when its warm will significantly increase the heat lasting time. Isolate it for the maximum time of use by wearing under your coat, or wrapping it with a cloth or a towel.
