Handmade Wheatbags for Natural Pain Relief & Winter Warmth

Wheatbags by Wheatbags Love are lovingly handmade in Melbourne using natural materials, designed to bring warmth, comfort and gentle relief to tired bodies. Their longer length makes them ideal for draping across the shoulders, tummy, lower back or feet—perfect for soothing sore muscles or staying cosy on chilly days.

Whether you're easing tight necks or warming up before bed, these wheatbags mould comfortably to your body, offering a more natural and flexible alternative to hot water bottles.

How Wheatbags Help

When heated, the warmth from the wheat encourages blood flow to tense or inflamed areas. This natural increase in circulation helps muscles to relax, unwind and release built-up tension—especially in common stress areas like the shoulders and neck.

Wheatbags are also a wonderful winter companion. Curl up on the couch, pre-warm cold sheets, or defrost icy toes—the possibilities are as comforting as the heat itself.

How To Use

Put your wheat bag in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. We don't recommend heating them for more than 2 and a half minutes as they become too hot to put comfortably on your skin. Keep in mind that wheat bags may not feel very warm when you first remove them from the microwave as the heat is concentrated in the middle of the bag. Give it a shake and it will start to feel warmer!

Then place on areas of soreness or aching. Allow time for the heat to gently seep into the muscles or sore area.

The heat will last between 30-45 min depending on the surrounding air temperature.

Wheat bags also make great cold packs. Place in the freezer for at least 30min until it's cold. Don't worry it won't freeze as there's no water content! You can even store it in there so it's always ready. Keep it in a freezer-safe container. Then you can use it on sprains and strains where cold is necessary to reduce inflammation and pain.

Where to Use

• Sore shoulders
• Tight necks
• Period cramps
• Lower backs
• Aching knees
• Sport-induced soreness or tightness in hamstrings, quads, or glutes
• Stomach pain
• Wrist and Ankle sprains (generally best to use cold but depends on the nature of the injury)
