Flax Seed Heating Cooling Pad

Relaxing Heating Cooling pads are reusable hot or cold weighted packs. Simply place in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time or place the pillow in a plastic bag for cold pack. Sets perfectly around the neck,  on your eyes, or rest on your back or stomach. The chambers allows for even distribution of the flax seed.

Covers are made with cotton designer fabrics, which are removable to allow them to be washed. The muslin pouches are filled with flaxseed, (scented pillows are filled with a combination of dried lavender or chamomile, along with a few drops of essential oils). 

Why Flax Seed?

• Whole flaxseed provides a gentle and moist heat.
• Flaxseeds are flower seeds, rather than grains, so they contain 30-40% oil which remains inside the seed to be warmed again and again. Other products lose their ability to retain heat as the water cooks out of them over time.
• When heated, flaxseed pillows retain half their heat after an hour.
• Flax never has that “cooked grain” smell other grain based products have when heated over and over again.
• The weight of flaxseed is gentle and comforting.
• Flaxseed pillows can also be chilled in the freezer to sooth fevers or slight inflammations, though they don’t get cold enough to provide the numbness needed for things like sprains and back injuries.
