Rice Heat Therapy Bag Tutorial
Posted November 24th, 2007 by Kristin
Rice Heat Therapy Bag with Washable Cover

Materials you will need:
fabric scraps
1/4 yard linen or other fabric (I used this
linen blend.)
1/4 yard muslin
2 lbs short or medium grain rice
essential oil
4” of 3/4” wide Velcro

The blog is illustrated and goes on step by step to describe how to make these bags. A very nice gift and very practical. The neat thing is that she adds essential oils to the rice or flax (not to the eye pillow, though).

She does say to microwave the bag to make it hot and asks if the MW does anything bad to the essential oils. I'd say as long as you're not eating them, it would be ok. Any thoughts, Granny?

I think you now have Freeper mail.

I see no reason to not use the E. Oils in them, as they do in soaps, etc.

If too much were used, it would/or/could make one itch where it got on the skin, but that goes away in a day.

These same paks can be frozen for ice packs, but many say a bag of frozen peas is the best ice pack.
