The heating pad is very under rated tool for health support. At SPW we love a good heat pad so much we have them as table and foot warmers in each treatment room, along with hot water bottles, reusable hot packs, and warm steamy towels.
Our fav use for a heat pad is to top off a castor oil or Ginger belly compress to soothe a bloated and inflamed gut.
Castor oil is great for internal inflammation but is not a great companion for those breastfeeding, in that instance we suggest warming your core with a ginger compress
