Cold, Flu & Covid
A cold is a viral infection around the nose & throat; usually, it's harmless, and with appropriate rest, hygiene and health strategies, it will pass in a week - to 10 days. However, it is easily spread to others via airborne droplets through coughing or sneezing and high contact points, being a migrating ground for germs & viruses.
Keep Warm

Washing your hands & keeping clean
Avoid sharing items with people
Avoid high contact areas where possible
USING FLOW NANO
The use of the nano's heating element can help alleviate any symptoms associated with a headache.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
The NHS recommends the application of heat; it stimulates the nervous system, particularly the thermoreceptors, which 'may' block the signals/ sensation of pain to the brain. Additionally, heat increases blood flow to the area, which provides an increased rate of oxygen & nutrient delivery to muscles in that area, contributing to the muscles becoming more relaxed. Thus taking away any tension that the muscles may bring to the area.
