How do abdominal compresses work?
Tummy compresses help with flatulence. If you don't have a ready-made compress set at home, you can also use a compress or a small cotton cloth (the size of a handkerchief). A woolen scarf can be used as an outer cloth to hold it in place:
- Apply the oil mixture (e.g. camomile-fennel oil) directly to the cloth.
- Place the cloth in a food-safe plastic bag and seal it.
- The filled bag is folded up and placed on the hot water bottle. At the same time, wrap the outer cloth around the hot water bottle. Everything is warmed for approx. 2 minutes.
- The heated cloth is then placed on the abdominal region and secured with the outer cloth (e.g. woollen scarf).
