Plaid therapeutic heating-cooling eye bag, rice bag, heat pad, cold pack

This is a 10" long and 4" wide eye bag. These are great for migraines, allergies, and tired sore eyes. I segment these bags so the rice stays more evenly dispersed. The average heating time is 1-3min but can vary depending on the microwave. Check it often during the warming process and shift it around so the rice can be evenly heated. Overheating can result in a burn, so please be careful. When placing your bag in the freezer, I recommend that they are put in a plastic bag to prevent the freezer smell from attaching to the fabric. Rice bags release moist heat that helps to aid with circulation and pain relief to sore muscles and joints. As your bag cools down, the heat becomes even more penetrating. The heat helps dilate blood vessels and increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to help heal damaged tissue. It also decreases the transmission of pain signals to the brain and helps relieve discomfort. When used as a cold pack, it works by reducing blood flow to a particular area, which can significantly reduce inflammation and swelling.
