28 WOMEN'S HACKS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU ─ 5-Minute Crafts

WOMEN'S HACKS

A heating pad is one of the best sources of relief for sore necks and backs. Applying heat can help reduce pain in strained or overexerted muscles. Making your own heating pad is a quick and easy way to soothe your sore muscles and joints with materials around your home. There are several ways to make one.

The most important aspect of heat therapy is its ability to increase blood flow to the painful areas. Heat opens up blood vessels, which allows for blood and oxygen to flow more readily to the sore areas. Heat therapy tends to reduce muscle spasms as well, causing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons to relax.

Doctors sometimes recommend using heating pads for relief from menstrual cramps or urinary tract infections. In these cases, apply a heating pad to the abdomen.

Like most people, you probably have a drawer in your house for orphaned socks. Well, now you can put those lonely socks to good use! If neck and shoulder pain is causing you trouble, all you need is a sock and some rice. This pad works best if you use a bigger sock, like a tube sock.

1. Fill the sock with rice. Leave enough room at the top so you can close the opening by either sewing it shut or tying it with a rubber band or string â€" basically anything you think will hold the rice in.
2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Remove from the microwave (again, be careful, it will be hot)!
4. Apply to your neck or shoulder. If you need more time once the heating pad has gone cold, microwave again for 1 minute and reapply.
5. Making your own heating pad is cost-efficient and safer than using an electric heating pad. It also saves you a trip to the store, when you’re too sore to leave the house. Schedule an appointment with your doctor if muscle and joint pain persists for several days!
