OK. So it never really gets cold by Northern Midwest standards down
here in Texas. But when I want to do a difficult bit in the "cold"
weather I prewarm the area. Hot showers or baths are best, but
heating pads or those wonderful microwaved flaxseed beanbags over the
area for about 10 minutes help open up the pores and get the
circulation going. Then henna and seal and WRAP. Even in winter
here, it's too warm to use plastic wrap. I use tp and paper tape,
then cover the limb with an ace bandage or wool sock. A nice hot
toddy and then a good night's sleep under lots of warm blankets and
cats.
The stains are as nice as in the summertime and last just as long.
