Why does heat help with pain?
The old wives' tale has it that a hot water bottle can relieve pain deep in the body - and now scientists have discovered why. A hot compress can physically shut down the normal pain response involved in stomach aches, period pain or colic.
"The heat doesn't just provide comfort and have a placebo effect - it actually deactivates the pain at a molecular level in much the same way as pharmaceutical painkillers," said Brian King, a senior lecturer in physiology at University College London, who led the research.
Dr King found that if heat is applied to the skin near where internal pain is felt, it switches on heat receptors at the site of injury. These in turn block the body's ability to detect pain.
"Heat is recognised by a group of receptors called transient receptor potential channels," said Dr King. "One of them, TRP1, responds to heat at around 40C. It's known to be on the sensory nerves that supply the internal organs like the gut."
When someone feels pain in the gut, a separate mechanism is firing. Receptors called P2X3 have detected ATP, a chemical that pours out of cells when they are damaged. The heat response appears to shut these receptors down.
"You've got the heat receptor on one side and the ATP receptor on the other side that will recognise the pain. Both are present in our cells and yet, when you activate one, it switches off the other," said Dr King. "What appears to be something that can sense heat can help you get over visceral pain by switching off the pain mechanism."

Customer Reviews
We tried colic calm, reflex meds, gripe water, everything and he was still uncomfortable. We started using the warm ease 3 weeks ago and i'ts made such a big differnece. We now have a relaxed feed at every feed. the warmth seems to relax his stomach muscles and he's not gulping down his feed. I totallyt recoomend this to others.
We put down our baby’s uncomfortableness and screaming to crampy wind giving him a sore tummy. Feeding was a nightmare. He was sucking in wind and his tummy was in knots. We now put his Warmie on before the feed to relax him and soothe his tummy and he feeds beautifully. Thank god for this invention!
Our baby had a very windy tummy and would scream when feeding which was very distressing. A friend suggested we try this product and we are very pleased that we did. We put on the belt before a feed and kept it on until we put baby to bed. It really helped baby settle and she didn't seem to get a crampy tummy as the muscles were relaxed and she was relaxed with the warmth. Thank you for inventing this product. We are very happy.
Would totally recommend this product. If your baby suffers from wind and cramps then get one of these. It’s made the world of difference to my little girl. We put it on before her bedtime feed.
We've been using this product for about 3 weeks now and we are so grateful we found it. I'd tried gripe water, colic calm, everything to try and help my little girl's tummy and wind. Nothing worked, but this is most definitely helping. It works just like a little hottie that you would use on your own tummy with period cramps. The heat just seems to settle her. Totally recommend giving this a go.
