Not sure whether to reach for cold or warm? The right compress makes all the difference.
Cold compresses are best for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and limiting blood flowโideal for sprains, bumps and bruises, post-operative swelling, headaches, migraines, and minor burns.
Warm compresses, on the other hand, help relax muscles, improve circulation, and ease chronic painโperfect for muscle pain, arthritis, lower back pain, muscle spasms, and menstrual pain. Choose wisely for faster, more effective relief.
