Wheat & Lavender bags Blog
10th March 2014
Wheat and Lavender Bags or Heat Packs (as some people prefer to call them) are an excellent tool in the treatment of many painful complaints.
Here at Kim’s Classic Handmade Soaps we have been producing our selection of Wheat and Lavender Bags for twelve years now, and have lost count of the number sold after all these years.
What we do know is, they are well regarded and our clientele regularly return for another when they see the need.
So what can they be used for?
• Arthritis pain
• Rheumatism
• Period Pain
• Cramping
• Sports Injuries
• Headache
• Sprains
• Muscular Aches
Just because they are referred to as a Heat Pack, doesn’t mean you can’t use them as a Cool Pack too. So, for swelling or inflammation leave it in a bag in the freezer. Works a treat!
One of the best things about having a Wheat and Lavender Bag in your home is that it can be used over and over again. No need to be running out buying an endless supply of pain killers when you can just reach for your heat pack, and let the heat or cool treat your pain.
Here in Australia Wheat and Lavender bags have had a bit of bad press lately, due to the unfortunate death of an elderly lady who heated a wheat bag and put in her bed to warm it. Unfortunately the heat bag was too hot, and went on to smoulder under the covers which in turn caused the fire where the lady perished.
This is a very sad turn of events, and a timely message that all Wheat and Lavender bags should come with instructions and those instructions should always be followed.
