Flaxi Lavender Heat Bags Foilage Charcoal

HOW IT WORKS

• Heat penetrates a few centimeters into tissue and stimulates the skin’s sensory receptors when the tissue temperature rises. Heat decreases transmission of pain signals to the brain and helps to increase blood flow to the injured area, which in turns expedites healing.
• Lavender soothes nerves (anxiety), improves sleep (insomnia), stabilizes mood (depression), and relieves pain (analgesic). During the heat process the fragrance is released, and by inhaling, the lavender stimulates the part of the brain connected to smell. The molecules that enter the nose pass to the lungs, and from there, to other parts of the body.
• When heated, flaxseed provides a gentle, moist heat which promotes healing. Flaxseeds are flower seeds, they contain 30-40% oil which remains inside the seed to be warmed again and again.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Heat Therapy - Simply heat in microwave in 30 second increments until bag feels warm. Place the bag over the aching area. The filling will gently shape to the body and offer targeted pain relief. It will retain its heat for up to 40 minutes.
Do not apply heat to obviously injured or infected tissue (swelling, red and/or hot), acute inflammation (e.g., flare-up of arthritis), or broken skin. Instead, use your Flaxi bag as a cold compress in such instances.
Cold Compress - Place Flaxi bag in the freezer inside a sealed bag for 30 minutes or until cold.
