What's so good about Wheatbags?

The wheatbag is a wonderful and natural way to ease aches and pains. If you’re not convinced then read on to discover how a wheat heat pack can really benefit you.

The wheatbag is one of those things that has many names. Heat pack, microwave hottie, bean bag, wheat pillow and so on.

It is not a new invention. In fact it’s as old as… who knows? But it’s safe to say we’ve been using them for ages.

So what’s so good about a wheatbag? I hear you ask.

First off - it is a completely natural way to ease aches and pains. Whether it’s a sore neck from hours hunched over a laptop, chronic lower back pain, period cramps or stiffness in joints - the wheat bag will offer soothing deep heat or relaxing cool. 

That’s right, you can use it both hot and cold.

Hot and cold therapy is one of the most efficient ways of dealing with pain, and there are many products out there offering to help. These products are often made with chemical filling, plastic materials and are single use. The wheatbag can be reused and reheated time and time again.

Secondly, why use a hot water bottle when you can use a wheatbag instead? 

It’s literally a warm cuddly hug and no need to mess around with boiling water or leaking lids. The grain filling shapes to your body and offers relief just where you need it - bliss!

Besides dealing with your sore back and keeping you warm, the wheatbag can be used in other areas that you might not have thought of.

If you are pregnant, recently had a baby or breastfeeding the wheatbag can help with ligament or pelvic girdle pain, to warm your little ones cot or pram prior to placing baby down, and as a warm compress on engorged breasts to help with the milk flow.

Suffering from headaches, migraines or ear aches a lot? Try our Eye Pillow to soothe and ease tension. Go for an unscented wheat bag if you are sensitive to smells, or you can add your own scent by adding a drop or two of essential oil to the surface of your wheatbag.

Try implementing a wheatbag next time you give someone a massage and they will love you forever. The gentle heat will warm up the muscles and prepare them for that deep tissue massage to really work wonders.

Our Hello Wheatbags are made from 100% cotton which is the toughest and most sustainable fiber around and we only use Australian wheat in our wheatbags. With our lumbar packs it is divided into sections which means the wheat stays in place and won’t gather in an uncomfortable bulk. You heard right: our wheatbags are made from all natural materials that have not been treated with chemicals, meaning they are perfectly safe to heat in the microwave.

So to sum up, the wheat bag is a simple yet effective product that can assist you in many ways and quickly become invaluable without a big price tag or costing the earth.
