What is Actipoche Chaud Froid used for?
Actipoche Chaud Froid 10x15cm consists of a blue gel contained in a plastic envelope. It provides cold relief for mechanical and inflammatory pain (sprains, strains, blows and bruises, headaches or toothaches), and heat relief for rheumatic pain (muscle contractures, backache, torticollis, lumbago, menstrual pain...).
The Actipoche Chaud Froid, conveniently sized 10x15 cm, is available in our organic pharmacy, offering a natural and versatile method of pain treatment. Designed to harness the benefits of cryotherapy and thermotherapy, this therapeutic tool provides fast, effective relief from pain, inflammation, swelling or muscle stiffness.
Versatility and ease of use
Its compact size makes the Actipoche an ideal choice for targeting specific areas such as wrists, hands, ankles or face. Whether you need a cold application to reduce inflammation following an injury, or a warm application to relax tense muscles, the Actipoche adapts to your needs for personalized, comfortable relief.
Easy to heat in the microwave for a thermotherapy session, or chill in the freezer for cryotherapy, the Actipoche is designed for repeated use. This reusability makes it an economical and environmentally-friendly option, reducing the need for disposable solutions or pain management drugs.
Safety and effectiveness
The Actipoche Chaud Froid is made from quality materials, ensuring safe and effective use. It is important to follow the instructions provided to avoid any risk of burns or cold injury. For extra protection, we recommend using a layer of fabric between the pad and the skin.
Ice packs and cooling compresses are part of the arsenal commonly used in sports medicine to soothe the pain of muscle strains, tendonitis, dislocations and sprains. All these techniques take advantage of vasoconstriction, while avoiding the risk of frostbite: direct contact with the ice is always avoided, and the procedure is repeated, but over short periods (no more than 20 minutes for compresses).
We also offer you Actipoche Multizones Argile Chaud Froid 12.5 cm x 27 cm, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
