Wonderful Wheat Bags

Wheat bags, although a simple design, can offer a multitude of benefits for people of all ages. 

As well as a rest and relaxation aid or source of warmth, they have been used as a versatile holistic remedy for many years and are known to aid a variety of ailments, providing effective relief quickly and without effort. Wheat bags can be used anywhere on the body due to their rectangular shape and because they're only partially filled with natural grains that can move freely, they have the flexibility to mould themselves to the contours of your body area. 

Traditionally filled with wheat and lavender buds or lavender essential oil, which for some, can enhance the soothing experience, more options are now available without lavender, appealing to those with allergies or a dislike for the scent, and offering availability of use to a wider audience. 

Wheat bags offer an array of possibilities as both heat therapy and cold therapy and are always at the ready when you need. 

Wheat Bag Heat Therapy

We've all suffered with neck pain from poor sleep posture, post-exercise aching muscles, cramps, stress and fatigue, which can be easily remedied with soothing heat therapy. For people suffering with conditions such as arthritis or poor circulation, heat therapy from a wheat bag can provide some respite and pain management, without the need for medication. This is because heat not only relaxes our msucles, it boosts blood flow to the area being treated which has a reparative effect. Alleviating discomfort in this way has a positive impact on our mental wellbeing too. 

Wheat Bag Cold Therapy

The symptoms and effects of migraines, fever, sprains, swelling, bruising and bumps can all be diminished with the application of cold therapy, which  primarily works by reducing inflammation and pain in an area by constricting blood vessels; it essentially numbs the area by slowing down nerve signals, thereby reducing pain perception. 

Another considerable advantage of wheat bags is that they're eco-friendly; made from all natural materials, they're completely sustainable and reusable, making them a preferred alternative to electrically operated or disposable thermo-therapy packs. All in all, wheat bags are convenient, adaptable, multi-functional, affordable and a must have for every household for on-demand ailment relief. 

Heat Treats has an extensive range of wheat bags and heat packs, with over 200 designs to choose from priced between £6.95 up to £29.95, including regular shaped patterned and plain cover wheat bags, wheat bottles, novelty heat packs and our unscented collection.
