Use Electric Blanket Navigation: Main page » Health & Fitness Author: . An Electric Under Blanket provides a constant and gentle heat from the shoulders to feet. The stiff and painful joints, affected by arthritis, are relieved. Heat is useful to decrease pain, ease muscle spasm, increase stretching capability of muscles and enhance blood circulation at the joint. The application of heat expands the blood vessels and rouses sensory receptors, which impede the transmission of arthritis pain through the nerves.Method of Use It consists of an electric wire placed in an appropriate fabric. When current passes through the wire, it gets heated. This heats the fabric. In turn, the skin is heated. Some varieties have an overheat protection system. If absent, it is necessary to check the signal for overheating. The device can be used for all body parts, but is specially used for the neck or back. The heat should be comfortable. It should not feel, as if the skin is being burnt. We may add some towels between the blanket and body. The body part being heated becomes red and sweaty. Before reapplying all redness should disappear. Do not sleep on the electric blanket. Heat temperature should not be in excess of 45 degrees i.e. 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Greater temperature leads to tissue damage. Types Some Electric Blankets are made of 100% polyester and can provide warmth in seconds.
