A hydrocollator is not designed for heating herbs; rather, it is a device commonly used in healthcare settings to warm and maintain the temperature of moist heat packs or towels for therapeutic purposes. These packs are typically applied to areas of the body to alleviate pain, reduce muscle spasms, and promote relaxation.
The hydrocollator unit itself typically maintains a temperature range between 160 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit (71 to 77 degrees Celsius). This temperature range ensures that the moist heat packs achieve an optimal therapeutic temperature when stored in the unit.
If you are considering using heat for herbal applications, it's essential to explore dedicated devices designed for herbal purposes, such as herbal infusers or specific temperature-controlled appliances, as the hydrocollator is not suitable for heating herbs.
