What are the therapeutic advantages of moist heat vs dry heat?
Moist heat generated from the flaxseed in your pillow produces a slight steaming action, & permeates your skin more quickly than dry heat. This results in immediate relief of aching joints & muscles. In some cases, it has been proven even more effective than aspirin or ibuprofen for providing fast & long lasting pain relief! Moist heat has also proven superior to dry heat because it actually increases circulation, thereby speeding recovery! This is accomplished by its ability to help usher in fresh blood cells, while assisting in flushing out unnecessary body wastes that hinder healing. Moist heat also gets deeper into tissues than ordinary dry heat, & this also helps to accelerate soft tissue repair, increase blood flow, decrease muscle spasms & pain, & to ultimately speed up the entire healing process! In addition to moist heat generated by the flax in your herbal therapy pillow, very lightly misting its cover with water, prior to heating, will produce additional steaming benefits. N
