Targeted Cold and Heat for Specific Areas of the Body
In certain situations, targeted heat or rapid, short-term cooling of specific areas of the body can be beneficial and soothing. Thanks to its unique pearl technology, the Axanova Cold Hot Pearls compress is suitable for both for cold and for heat applications. When used as a heat compress, it promotes local blood circulation in the skin. The pleasant sensation of warmth contributes to relaxation and supports overall well-being. When used for cold therapy, the integrated, soft Comfort fleece allows for direct application to the skin, unlike conventional cold packs.
Cold Compress Application:
Store the unfolded compress in its storage bag in the freezer for at least 1 hour beforehand. Place the cold compress with the Comfort fleece side against the desired area of the body. Do not apply the compress to the same area for more than 20 minutes at a time. Take a short break before reapplying.
How to Use a Warm Compress:
Wrap the compress (without the storage pouch) in a cotton cloth and heat it in the microwave at 700–800 watts for for 30 to a maximum of 50 seconds. Place the warm compress with the Comfort fleece side against the desired area of the body. If the heat subsides, the compress can be reheated in the microwave in 5–10-second increments until it reaches the desired temperature.
Note: May only be heated in the microwave.
