Rice-flax seed therapeutic heating/cooling pad, heat pad, cold pack, rice bag, doula, beach, shells

This is a handmade rice/flax seed bag that can be warmed up in the microwave for moist heat or put in the freezer. The neck wrap is about 15" x 9". These are segmented so the rice stays in place better. The average heating time is 1-3min but can vary depending on the microwave.  You can also warm up your bag in the oven at 325 for about 20min. Check it often during the warming process and shift it around so the rice can be evenly heated.  Overheating can result in a burn so please be careful.  When placing your bag in the freezer I recommend that they are put in a plastic bag to prevent the freezer smell from attaching to the fabric.  Rice bags release moist heat that helps to aide with circulation and pain relief to sore muscles and joints.  As your bag cools down, the heat becomes even more penetrating. The heat helps dilate blood vessels and increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to help heal damaged tissue.  It also decrease the transmission of pain signals to the brain and helps relieve discomfort.   When used as a cold pack it works by reducing blood flow to a particular area which can significantly reduce inflammation and swelling that cause pain.  These bags help with strains, migraines, joint pain, inflammation, PMS, anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, and post surgery and injection recovery.  Children and babies also love rice bags. Its a fun way to help ease growing pains, gas and sports injuries. They also help calming anxiety ridden adults and children. The neck wraps also work great for putting in front of your keyboard while typing.  I also can add essential oils to your bag for aromatherapy.  I will take special orders and do bulk pricing.
