Some information on Moist heat and Dry heat.
It has been proven that water is a more effective conductor of heat than air - in fact, moist heat has been shown to pe*****te 27 times better than dry heat! In addition, body tissues are able to tolerate moist heat at a higher temperature than dry heat. As this intense heat pe*****tes painful body tissues, blood vessels dilate, increasing the circulation in the area. The increased blood flow relieves inflammation, brings additional oxygen, carries away toxins and waste for healing, and provides relief from pain.
Dry heat, draw out moisture from the body and may leave the skin dehydrated. However, some people feel that dry heat is the easiest to apply and feels the best.
Moist heat, can aid in the heat’s pe*******on into the muscles, and some people feel that moist heat provides better pain relief.
My heating pads are moist heat. They are filled with rice and when put in the microwave for just a few minutes, will hold the heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Pictures left to right are extra small $2, Small $4, Medium $6, and Large $8. They make great gifts or even a stocking stuffer. Buy them separate or have them put in a Christmas basket with some delicious preserves. Add a homemade candle for just a few dollars extra. Check out our page for pictures of the baskets.
