Anyone makes microwave heat pads

I use rice. These puppies are great when you have an ear ache or a sinus headache too. Especially with the sinus headache, because that little bit of weighted pressure feels nice (to me anyway...)

I've used wheat, barley and rice in the past, I sometimes put a littl ebit of lavender (the dried flowers) in as well, that givea a lovely soothing scent as well as the warmth.

I use rice...mostly because I buy rice in such large amounts, I always have some on hand. I sew a little bag and then put it into a cute case.

well i just dont know but this is something i would definitely like to learn about,

You can also make cold packs with rice.:) COLD PACK:Just fill a large freezer bag about half way with uncooked rice and freeze. The rice will retain the cold and make an efective ice pack when you need one to cool an injury. HOT PACK:Just fill the bottom of a cotton sock (old tube sock will do) with uncooked rice and tie off the top. Microwave until hot. It may only take 30 seconds to 1 minute to reach your desired temperature so keep a close eye om it the first time you heat it up. It can burn you if you leave it in too long. You can also add fillings like coarsely broken cinnamon sticks, lavender buds, whole cloves or whole allspice to the heat packs for a nice aroma. These rice bags can be made in different sizes depending on their intended use. Make a longer shape to lay over the shoulders and neck, or a square one to be laid on arms or legs, or applied to the lower back. http://www.reddawn.net/quilt/hotpads.htm

Yes I make rice packs as well. We call them our rice sockies. I keep mine in the drawer under my microwave so it won't get lost. I love the fact you can postion it anyway you want, and the heat is so soothing. The rice sock is also great for tension in my neck, when I've had a stressful day.

My friend made me one of these years ago when I hurt by back and shoulder, and the battle was on with my kids trying to get their hands on it every time I would put it down for a second. Needless to say, I always won! I have made the long ones filled with rice. Next, I plan to make one a little wider for my back. I had not thought of putting other things into it besides rice. I like the idea of adding something for scent. I may have to give a little more thought to what other fillings I might like to try.
