Flaxseed pillows provide gentle, moist heat and a comforting weight making them a welcome treat for a chilly evening. These pillows can also be used year round for muscle pain, arthritis, stomach aches, menstrual cramps and so much more.
They also can be frozen and used to sooth aches, pains, fevers, and swelling.
There are other natural warming and cooling pillows that use corn, buckwheat or rice as fillers.
Flaxseeds are far superior because:
They contain around 40% oil, meaning that they can be reheated again and again without losing their ability to retain heat. Other grains contain mostly water that eventually cooks out.
The heat is also long lasting - flaxseeds keep half their heat even after an hour. Other natural fillers tend to cool down quite quickly.
Their small size and smooth shape allows the pillows to contour nicely around your body.
There is no cooked smell. When heating other grains like corn and rice, there is a definite cooked food smell. Flaxseed has very faint, pleasant earthy smell that is not very noticeable.
