Studies show that 100% pure, farm-fresh flax seed is the best filler for your microwavable heating pad. You may find cheaper packs, but chances are they are filled with corn, rice, fruit pits, cherry hulls. They *may* have a sprinkling of flax in there, but that’s not enough. You always want 100% pure flax seed, and here’s why:
1. Flax seed is 30-40% oil. When heated or chilled, the oil grabs the temperature faster and RETAINS it longer.
2. The oil is flax seed provides a MOIST HEAT— far more therapeutic than a dry heating pad.
3. Flax seeds are tiny, uniform and SILKY SMOOTH– like sesame seeds. They are soft, and conform well to any part of the body.
4. Because it is a flower seed rather than a grain, flax WEIGHS LESS and DISTRIBUTES MORE EVENLY than cheaper water-based fillers .
5. When heated, flax seed DOESN’T COOK like rice, corn and barley. You can use it for years and years…and it will never smell like overcooked food!
A cheaper microwavable heating pad isn’t your best value– a well-constructed microwavable heating pad handmade in America and filled with 100% flax seed is always your best bet!
