electric blankets (alternatives)

[Guest guest]

That's a good question. I am having Yang issues myself and can often not seem

to get warm enough at night. A few things that have helped are: using a couple

extra blankets and flannel sheets. Also, my partner bought a really good

sleeping bag (you can get ones designed for weather below 30 degrees, even below

0 degrees if you have more money) and that has been a good way to get extra

warmth without a lot of added weight. I know some people who sleep curled up

with hot water bottles and that helps them get warm enough to fall asleep. And

some people benefit from keeping their feet in socks, hands in gloves, and

possibly even wearing a head cap to bed.

Hi,

 

I've heard this about electric heating pads which I was using for

Castor packs. Now I use a hot water bottle for them. Are there

alternate recommendations for the blankets until one can get their

Qi balanced properly?

 

TIA,

Another way to stay toasty at night is to use a thermal blanket for your bottom

sheet, another thermal blanket for your top sheet and put a cotton quilt on top

of the (top) thermal blanket .

 

You can lose 15 percent of your body heat through the top of your head, so

covering the head is not a bad idea...a length of cotton gauze loosely draped

over the head and around the shoulders (keep the back of the neck covered too)

is often sufficient. Again...it's thermal. Those little fabric " cells " trap and

hold body heat.Socks are a good idea...as is keeping the wrists and ankles

covered.
