Wool warming waistband
In a sense, the belt is nature's physical therapy for the back. Only if an additional source of heat is required in the physiotherapy room, then when wearing a woolen corset, our own body is such. Closing it, the belt prevents heat transfer, and the accumulated heat begins to warm the back.
When warmed up, muscle relaxation occurs, which gives an analgesic effect. Such relaxation with heat is used to treat all diseases in which pain is caused by spasm, so the warming belt helps with:
- , during an exacerbation of osteochondrosis or intervertebral hernia.
- adnexitis
- prostatitis
- pyelonephritis

A warming belt made of dog or sheep wool is also an excellent prevention of sciatica in the cold season.
For fishing, hunting, picnics in autumn and winter - wherever there is a need for a monotonous sitting posture, it is recommended to wear this wool protection.
Why animal hair is used
Of course, theoretically, any woolen scarf can be wrapped around the lower back, and this will also help save the back from the cold. But it is the untreated animal hair that gives a therapeutic effect, since
- water-repellent, allowing them to withstand the rigors of life in harsh climates
- contains in its composition lanolin and wax, which have an anti-inflammatory therapeutic effect
Belts made of dog, sheep, camel hair:
- Protect from moisture and cold
- Possess increased hygienic properties:
- when using them, there is no greenhouse effect
- they let air through freely
- They cause a rush of blood to the lower back and improve blood circulation, which prevents congestion, inflammation and colds.
- By stimulating the nerve superficial endings, they produce a kind of light massage.
Skin contact with fur may cause slight irritation to some people. To avoid this, you can sheathe the belt from the inside with cotton fabric, or put it on top of natural underwear.
Where to buy and how to make a belt
You can buy a belt
- in a pharmacy
- medical equipment store
- on the market
You can also make a belt from dog or sheep wool yourself by contacting dog breeders or livestock farmers for material. In this case, the animals themselves, of course, do not suffer:
- long-haired dogs are combed and hair is collected
- sheep are tritely sheared, or rolled
- then yarn is made or wool is felted
The easiest way to make a belt is using a simple corset:
- pieces of dog or sheep wool are laid out in an even layer inside a double-folded cotton fabric
- sew the fabric along with the wool with diagonal stitches
- the resulting quilted lining is sewn from the inside to the corset
The disadvantage of this design is that it is somewhat cumbersome, although if you are at home and are being treated, and do not go somewhere to visit, then this is of no fundamental importance.
A belt knitted from dog yarn looks much prettier. The truth will take more work and time, but the result will please.
Such a belt can have an excellent healing effect and cost less.
