Circulation: Adequate circulation is the key for any healing to take place. In cold situations your muscles and joints are not getting the circulation that they get when its warm, as the cold restricts the blood vessels. Heat dilates vessels allowing nutrient oxygen rich blood in and allowing the veins to remove the "pain chemicals" which are released around injured or diseased body parts.
