How Do You Make A Simple Hot Compress For Muscle Pain?
• Heat up the water. Don’t heat it to boiling, as that will be too hot. • Fold the towel up so that it is large enough to cover only the area you want to place the compress on. • Dip the folded towel into the pot of hot water or pour the water onto the towel carefully. Don’t burn yourself. • Test the towel to make sure it isn’t too hot to place on your skin. • Place it on the affected region. Relax. Resoak the towel when it cools off if you need some more time to relax.
