The wraps

What's inside

A heat wrap is a simple thing done properly: cotton, rice, and dried herbs, sewn so the fill never bunches or shifts.

Why rice

Rice holds heat longer and more evenly than wheat or flaxseed, and it doesn't develop the faint burnt smell those fillings can get after repeated warming. It also takes to cold just as well, so the same wrap works pulled from the freezer as it does from the microwave.

How to warm one

Microwave in 30-second bursts, checking heat between each, until it feels right against your skin.
Most wraps are comfortably warm at 60–90 seconds, depending on your microwave.
Never microwave longer than 2 minutes at a stretch, and let it rest if it needs more.

How to cool one

Place in a sealed bag in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Use for sore muscles, headaches, or swelling, same as a cold pack.
Let it return to room temperature before microwaving again.

Cared for, they last

A well-made wrap, warmed and rested rather than overheated, holds up for years. Keep it dry between uses, avoid direct flame, and store it flat rather than folded so the rice doesn't settle unevenly.

"Treat it like a good cast-iron pan. A little care, and it outlasts most things you own."
