Did you know?The Benefit Facts of Flax Seed in Body Warmer Pillows

Flax Seed, because it is a flower seed, has no cooked food smell in the air or on your clothes because it is not a food product. Our Flax Seed Microwaveable Body Warmer Pillows retain their heat for nearly an hour because the oil in the seed has been heated and the shell traps it in, giving off damp moist heat for a longer period of time. For those sensitive to aromas, our handcrafted flax seed products are unscented. Other body warmers and cold packs are made with corn or rice in them. Corn has a 4% and rice a 10 - 15% oil content and has a tentency to develop a bad odor with continued use. These grain products contain mostly water, which cooks out, leaving the heating medium dehydrated, so it doesn't hold the heat as long and stinks. Our Flax Seed Microwaveable Body Warmer Pillows are made to withstand continued usage that far exceeds the life expectancy of corn or rice as a heat medium.
