The Belly Buddy - For Gut Health and More
Ever heard the term our "Gut is our second Brain"?
A stomach ache might sour your day but it can be much more than that. The enteric nervous system is a mesh-like network of neurons that lines the entire digestive track. It causes the sensation of nervous butterflies or a pit in your stomach that are innate parts of our psychological stress responses.
Up to 90 percent of the cells involved in these responses carry information to the brain rather than receiving messages from it, making your gut as influential to your mood as your head is.
Gut Wisdom™ Stress and the Gut:
Our stress and worries are not just mental, Stress is also physical! When we are stressed our body's response is the "fight or flight" reflex. The "fight or flight" reflex is automatically activated by our sympathetic nervous system. It is designed to help us deal with life-threatening emergencies. It does so by acting in 'sympathy' with emotions such as anger and fear.
It prepares us for intense action. Our blood pressure and breath rate increases, our muscles tense, and blood is shunted off to our limbs, away from our digestive system, thereby turning off proper digestive and elimination function. The bi-product is indigestion, bloat, gas, constipation and/or a flare up of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Whether your looking to Comfort Stress or just Relax the Belly Buddy provides a warmth and relaxing feeling.
The Bully buddy is also great for sore muscles and tension. Your heated Belly Buddy can be used on the neck and shoulders to help release tension. Use for legs and arms for muscles sourness.
How to use:
To begin, Heat you Belly Buddy up in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (Oven Instructions Included with item). You Belly buddy will heat up... be careful and make sure it's not too hot. You Belly Buddy will stay warm for approximately 1 hour.
Then, sit or lie down comfortably so the Belly Buddy can rest on your stomach. Place a warmed Belly Buddy™ on your abdomen. Its warmth brings blood function back to your stressed belly. Notice how the warmth attracts your breath into your belly. Breathe deeply so that your belly begins to expand as you inhale and retract as you exhale.
As you and your belly relax, see if you can listen to your belly. What do you sense? What do you feel? What is your belly telling you? What does it need to feel relief? As you learn to listen to your 'gut feelings' during this experience, begin to listen and honor them in the midst of your everyday life.
Apply the Belly Buddy to anywhere you have tension or sore muscles to help relieve tighness, soreness, or tension.
Optionally: Add the Book "Gut Wisdom, Understanding and Improving your Gut Health"
Gut Wisdom can help give you insight into how your gut effects total body health. Gut Wisdom™ will help you learn how to listen to your gut to achieve total body health. Unlike other books on digestion, it is a friendly, readable, easy-to-understand guide that gives you specific procedures you can use to alleviate indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea, and many other common ailments.
Caution: Do not Over heat! Check temperature carefully! If it feel too hot let it cool before applying to body. Avoid heating the abdomen if you are pregnant, have recent scars, previous burns, sensitive skin, or skin infection. Do not use in place of medical treatment.
