Warm compress
A warm compress is a heated cloth or pad applied to a specific area of the body to relieve pain, increase blood flow, and relax muscles. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as muscle soreness, arthritis, and menstrual cramps, and can be made using methods like soaking a cloth in hot water, using a microwaveable heat pad, or employing a hot water bottle. Warm compresses are particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing localized pain or discomfort and seeking non-pharmacological relief.
