Heat can create comfort and soothing when you need it most. It triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, which is a great way to create calm when you are overwhelmed, upset, or want to find a moment of peace.

I feel through my stomach, so I have always had a heat bag to help me self-soothe. It has helped me calm myself, but hasn’t been the most practical thing to have with me all the time.

When we started travelling, it made things tricky until I found Stoov Heated Bottles. Then Stoov brought out their heated cushion range, and that was a game changer.

There are heaps of varieties and colours available and while they are pricey compared to other products, they are completely worth the investment. European-made and designed, Stoov have safety standards I haven’t found on other versions.
