Mainely Ice

Microwave for moist heat therapy to relax sore muscles, improve circulation and flexibility.
Why moist heat?

Freeze for cold therapy to reduce swelling and pain.

Cold therapy helps reduce swelling and pain after surgery or injury -- sprains, strains, insect bites, and mild burns. Physicians often recommend icing with a bag of frozen peas to help reduce swelling and pain during the first 48 hours after an injury. Holding a bag of frozen peas in place becomes tedious after a few minutes. Put a bag of frozen peas inside this flannel cover and strap it on to keep the bag of frozen peas from slipping off. The cover is designed to hold a one pound bag of frozen peas that can be purchased at a grocery store.

This flannel cover is sold with an inner cloth bag filled with whole corn that can be microwaved and used for heat therapy. Use heat to relax tight muscles, help improve circulation and flexibility.

The corn pack may also be frozen and used for gentle cold therapy. Whole corn will not get as cold as a store-bought package of frozen peas because whole corn has less water content.

Our whole corn filling goes from the freezer to the microwave and back to the freezer. A bag of frozen peas should not be microwaved -- unless you plan to eat it!

Once a bag of frozen peas has been used as an ice pack it should not be consumed. Storing inside a flannel cover distinguishes them from the other frozen foods in your freezer.

Product Information

Cover: 7 by 10.5 inch cotton flannel cover has a Velcro strap that will cinch around legs or arms. A one pound package of store-bought frozen peas fits in the flannel bag. Strap is 1.5” wide and adjustable. Insert with Whole Corn Filling: 7 x 9 inch cotton insert holds 1.5 lb. whole corn. May be frozen for gentle cold or microwaved for heat.

Whole corn will not pop in the microwave and does not require added fragrances – unlike rice socks. Microwave heat packs are convenient -- no electric outlets needed and no hot water bottles.
