Re: Make your own heating pads

[Guest guest]

,

The thing that popped into my mind when you mentioned

hand pain is something my daughter (occupational

therapist) told me they've used on their patients.

You can buy a commercial one, or make your own. . .

You melt paraffin, then (making sure the temperature

is right), stick you hand in it. You bring your hand

in and out of the prophet (like dipping a candle)

until you have a considerable buildup on it. Wrap your

hand in a towel and let the heat sink in.

My only concern is finding the right temperature. I'd

suggest using a candy thermometer - Unless you want to

buy a machine built for that purpose.

When it's cool, you peel the prophet off and reuse it.

.. . I'm thinking there may be some essential oils that

could be added - but I'll leave that to Kenda or

someone else to suggest which ones might be good.

Hugs,

I'd suggest Lavender, for relaxation.
