How To Make A Flax Seed Heat Therapy Pillow

If you have a bit of natural fabric you would like to reuse (old flannel shirts work well-use the sleeves) you can make a natural therapeutic pillow by sewing it up and filling it with flax seed, cherry pits, feed corn, whole wheat not wheat flour, uncooked barley grains or rolled oats.
When finished, microwave for 1-2 minutes or put in freezer for a cold pack. Have fun!!

@bobbysaka2003 I'm not sure where to get flax seeds but i have one made with white rice. My aunt that made it put cloves in it for the aroma. If you can't sew you can also use a long clean sock and tie the open end with a rubber band, ribbon, etc. These are great as ice packs too. I keep one in the freezer and one out at all times. My aunt also made mine with like pillow cases that closes with Velcro so if they get something on them you can take the case off and wash it.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing

I love this idea! Just a question, when using flax seed -- are you using the seeds whole or ground? If, for instance, you were to use an old knee high sock what is your best guess on how much to fill it with?

Bobbysaka2008 you can use plain white rice (not instanat) and then microwave it for 1 to 2 mins
