This is a 20" long and 14" wide rice/flax seed pad. I segment these bags so
the rice stays more evenly dispersed. 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. These are not just for adults, children love them too. They get ease
from growing pains, gas pain, sports injuries, a fun way to get comfort when
they are sick. They are also great for relieving anxiety and depression. I also
can add essential oils to your bag for aromatherapy. I will take special orders
and do bulk pricing. Check me out on Facebook and follow and like my page.
