The Role And Efficacy Of Hot Water Bottle

For special groups such as those with local bruises on the skin, those with dysmenorrhea, those with shoulder, neck or waist pain, and those with poor peripheral circulation, they can wrap a hot water bottle in a bag or towel and apply heat to the local skin to accelerate blood circulation. It can promote the dissipation of superficial inflammation, relieve local pain, reduce deep tissue congestion, and keep warm.
