Unscented Wheat Bag Banksia Sky Australian Made by Wheatbag Love How Wheat Bags Work The heat of the warm, unscented wheat bag will seep into sore muscles (think of those stressed shoulders or sore necks!) as well as encouraging increased blood flow into the area. This in turn allows the muscle fibres to unknot and relax which helps to reduce muscle pain. It’s simple, natural and very effective! Wheat bags are also very popular for keeping warm in winter. The way they conform to any area of the body make them more comfortable to hold or hug than a hot water bottle. They are perfect for warming you on the couch, keeping frosty feet warm or for pre-heating your bed sheets before you jump into bed. An unscented wheat bag is perfect for those who are sensitive to fragrance. How To Use Your Unscented Wheat Bag Place your unscented wheat bag in the microwave on high for 2 minutes (please test first with a shorter amount of time as all microwaves vary in power). We don’t recommend heating them for more than 2 and half minutes as they become too hot to put comfortably on your skin. Also keep in mind that wheat bags may not feel very warm when you first remove them from the microwave as the heat is concentrated in the middle of the bag. Give it a shake first and it will then start to feel warmer! Place the wheat bag on areas that are sore or aching. Remember to allow time for the heat to gently seep into the muscles or the affected sore area. The heat pack will last between 30-45 min depending on the surrounding air temperature. Wheat bags also make great cold packs. Simply place the wheat bag in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until it’s cold. Don’t worry – it won’t freeze as there’s no water content! You can even store it in there so it’s always ready for use. We recommend to keep it in a freezer safe container. You can then use it on sprains and strains where applying a cold pack is necessary to reduce inflammation and pain.
