At a basic level wheatbags are bags of cloth filled with wheat & sometimes herbs or amomatherapy oils. They can be heated or frozen before use for heat treatment.

| How Do Wheat bags Work
Heat treatment has been shown to be effective at relieving pain (e.g. deep heat treatment rubs as sold at chemists). Wheat bags are very effective at retaining heat for a long period of time and releasing the heat with an even distribution. This ensures that with wheat bags you can get the heat treatment to the right place without messy creams or chemicals that you may not have enough safety information about.
Wheat bags do not contain liquid, so will not leak with any small puncture like products such as gel heat pads, this allows them a vey long life when properly used.
Applying gentle heat treatment to the body has been shown to increase the flexibility of ligaments and tendons, relax muscle spasms and bolster metabolism while increasing blood flow. Information suggests it is believed to be because the body's endorphin (opiate like chemicals) production is stimulated with heat.
Heat treatment with wheat bags is often helpful in the case of muscle spasms following a back injury, but should not be used on new sprains, recent injuries or wounds. Cold treatment is best in this case.
If you have a chronic, serious or nerve sensitivity condition you should consult your doctor before use. |
