Heat;
Place wheatbag in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. The wheatbag may not feel very warm when you first remove it from the microwave as the heat is concentrated in the middle of the bag. Give it a shake and it will start to feel warmer!
Place on desired area and allow time for the heat to gently seep into the muscles or sore area.
The heat pack will last between 30-45 min depending on the surrounding air temperature.
Do not use on anaesthetised skin i.e under epidural anaesthesia due to risk of burns.
Cold;
Place in the freezer for at least 30min 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.
Keep it in a freezer safe container. Then you can use it on sprains and strains where cold is necessary to reduce inflammation and pain.
