I have heard that cold therapy is also a good way to relieve pain. When are cold therapy and heat therapy used?

The therapeutic use of cold or heat is a well-known physiotherapeutic treatment. However, the usage of heat or cold on the affected area depends on the type of pain. Heat therapy is an effective way to relieve pain caused by muscle strain and tension. Cold therapy is recommended for acute inflammation or sports injuries like sprains, contusions, bruising and swelling. If you are in doubt on whether to apply heat therapy or cold therapy, please take expert advice from a medical professional.

How does the heat therapy patch work?

Hansaplast Lion Heat Plaster provides sustained intense heat, and at the same time blocks the transmission of pain signals. The effective ingredient capsaicin helps relax the muscles by increasing blood flow as well as the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, accelerating removal of metabolic by-products resulting in pain relief.
