Revolana organic flaxseed heat packs all include a machine washable organic cotton cover for easy maintenance. Flaxseeds are derived from the cultivated flax plant. It is one of the first species cultivated by men whose traces date back tens of thousands of years.

Flaxseeds are oleaginous, that is, they contain oil. In the heat packs, it is that oil contained in the seeds that accumulates heat or cold. Flaxseed oil is known for its relaxing, soothing and analgesic properties. Unlike heat packs in other materials, flaxseed heat packs have a double effect: heat and the properties of flaxseed oil. Flaxseed heat packs are often used by physiotherapists to help with healing.

Since flax seeds are small, heat packs are very malleable and soft. They always perfectly follow the area on which they are applied.

In the microwave, they can be heated approximately 1mn30 at 750W. With experience, you can adjust the time to get what you want. If the heat pack is folded in the oven because of its size, it should be folded on the other side during heating for good heat distribution.
