They drape over shoulders offering mobility, and also contours body parts with ease. You can use a belt to aid in the placement of your wrap on your low back, knees, arms, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Belly Ache? Try Heat Researchers have just figured out why applying a hot water bottle or heating pad to the abdomen soothes the pain of stomachaches, colic, cystitis and menstrual pain. A study from England’s University College, London, presented at the annual conference of the Physiological Society on July 5, 2006, shows that the warmth switches on heat receptors at the site of the pain. The receptors then inhibit the effect of chemical messengers that convey the signals that allow pain to be sensed by the body. The discovery shows that the relief we get by holding a heating pad or hot water bottle to an ache in the abdominal area isn’t a placebo effect – instead, it sets off measurable internal changes that help lessen the perception of pain. To work, the heat has to be over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit, about five degrees higher than normal body temperature) and applied to the skin near where the pain is felt. Unfortunately, while the relief heat affords is real, it is only temporary. The discovery might help with efforts to develop drugs to block the same pain receptors that heat temporarily disables.
