Wheatbags are a great natural way to heat up or cool down your muscles. Wheatbags Love was created in 2014 by a remedial massage therapist who was sick of looking at the plain colours on offer. Each bag is handcrafted in Australia from 100% cotton fabric in a variety of stunning designs. Like anything fashionable, the designs come in and out. We have just released the latest three designs here at Shop Naturally.



 

Each wheatbag is filled with wheat which is a great temperature conductor. Pop them in the microwave for 2 minute sand they hold their heat for 45 to 60 minutes. They can be used on muscle tension and pain, which helps to increase blood flow to the area, and they are also great to use for menstrual cramps for the same reason. It is for this reason that we have included them in two of our custom packs from Hannahpad. Whether you're buying reusables or organic tampons, they are a great product to pair together.

Available in two sizes, an eye pillow and a regular bag, we find the eye pillow is a sufficient size for most people. and they are the more popular choice. Wheatbags Love sell these in an unscented version and two scented versions. After testing the scented versions, we found the aroma wore off over time and we much prefer to just sell the unscented wheatbags and allow our customers to add their own essential oils to the bag. When using for PMS, anything with Clary Sage in it will assist nicely. If you're using a wheatbag to relax as well as relieve muscle tension, using an aroma diffuser with the same essential oil that you have on your bag will give you an aromatic boost.

For muscle strains and sprains, anyone who's trained to treat sporting injuries will tell you that you need to ice the muscles. The wheat inside the bag will also retain cold, so place your wheatbag in the freezer and use it as a cold compress. Don't worry, the wheat doesn't get wet in the freezer and spoil them, they just get cold.
