Thermal Aid Provides Comfort With Both Heat And Cold
Adults and their kids can find cooling comfort or healing relief using the same hot/cold therapeutic packs offered by Thermal Aid. The Thermal Aid zoo characters, which are floppy and adorable animal figures, are actually cuddly comfort pads that can soothe the aches of all ages.
The zoo characters are just the right size to place on most adult sores. They also are readily accepted for hugging by children who may not understand the need for putting ice or heat on a boo-boo and keeping it there.
The figures are completely safe and contain 100 percent natural ingredients that will hold heat or cold, depending on which is needed to provide muscle relief from strains, pulls, or over use. They can even be used for toothache pain, low grade fevers, or to ease the bumps and bruises from a hard day on the playground.
The zoo characters are made of pure cotton and contain specially engineered chips of corn that provide the heating and cooling factor. The corn is refined by a patented process that removes the outer coat and germ tip of the corn, leaving only the purest portion behind.
This is what holds the temperature, whether the cuddly figure is zapped in the microwave or put in the freezer. Even without a temperature infusion, the figure is perfect for soothing hurts by just being there as a friend to hug.
The corn processing allows the animal figure to hold the temperature longer, according to the manufacturer. It also prevents the growth of mold and fungus or any other element that could affect those with allergies or that will just wind up being stinky. You can machine wash the figures, though, whenever needed. So the inevitable juice spills or taking the figure for playtime in the sandbox are not a problem.
The zoo characters are available in seven animal forms: Baxter Bunny, Happy Hippo, pink Bella Bear and blue Baxter Bear, Jo Jo Monkey, Ollie Koala, and Tiny Elephant. Regardless which figure you or your child selects, all the animals were specifically designed for the medical field and readily mold to injured areas. They have undergone university testing and have obtained doctor recommendations.
Because they are quickly and easily heated or cooled, Thermal Aid zoo characters can be quickly made available after an adult workout or whenever the kids get home. Some adults have found that by heating a figure in the microwave for a couple of minutes and applying it to the site of a previous injury for 15 or 20 minutes, they are able to go ahead with their typical workout routine.

For those who are uncertain which to use -- heat or cold -- the general rule of thumb is that heat is for muscles and ice is for injuries. In other words, use heat for strained or stressed muscles and cold for areas that have suffered actual physical damage and may be inflamed or swollen. The beauty of having a Thermal Aid zoo character on hand is that it will work for both.
Thermal Aid customers have said they typically keep their zoo character in the freezer because it will take longer to cool than to heat. If heat is need, they can just simply pull it out of the freezer and warm it up in a matter of moments in the microwave.
Anyone in the household can us the cute animal-shaped thermal packs -- even animals. Users have reported that dogs with hip or other joint problems will move better and easier after snuggling up to their new best friend.
