• Yes, all Wheat Bag can be used for cold therapy as well as heat therapy.
• To use it for cold therapy, simply place the wheat bag in one of our Freezer Bags for a couple of hours.
• Cold therapy can be beneficial for reducing swelling, soothing muscle strains, or alleviating headaches.
• The wheat bag will stay cool and provide targeted relief, similar to using an ice pack but in a more comfortable and flexible form.
• Don't place the wheat bag straight on bare skin, just wrap it in a soft cloth or towel before applying it directly to the skin to avoid discomfort.

• To keep your wheat bag in the best condition, it’s important to clean it regularly but carefully. We recommend spot cleaning the wheat bag with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt or stains.
• Avoid soaking the entire bag in water, as this could damage the filling or the fabric.
• If you notice any lingering odors or stains, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the fabric, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then shake it off gently. This helps absorb odors without affecting the wheat or lupin filling.
• It’s also a great idea to heat your wheat bag every couple of months (even when not in use). This helps to prevent any moisture from building up in the filling, keeping it fresh and effective for longer.
• For storage, store your wheat bag in a clean, dry drawer or cupboard away from direct sunlight or moisture. Avoid placing it in damp or humid environments, as this could lead to mold or mildeww

• However, we strongly recommend adult supervision when young children are using the wheat bag to ensure they are not exposed to excessive heat and to prevent accidental burns.
• Always check the temperature of the wheat bag before allowing children to use it, and never leave a child unattended while the wheat bag is in use.
• If you are uncertain about its use for specific age groups or concerns, please consult with a healthcare professional.

• The wheat filling has been the traditional choice for heat therapy and has been used in wheat bags for many years.
• Wheat provides a good source of heat retention, but it can sometimes have a stronger odor after repeated heating, and it may not retain heat as long as other alternatives.

• On the other hand, the lupin seed filling offers several advantages.
• Lupin seeds retain heat for a longer period, providing prolonged relief from pain and tension.
• They also have a much reduced odor compared to wheat, making them a more pleasant choice for those sensitive to smells.
• Additionally, lupin seeds are non-combustible, which means they are safer to use, reducing the risk of overheating.
• And Lupin is allergy friendly for Coeliacs or anyone who is Gluten Sensitive.
• Lupin-filled wheat bags can also be a great alternative for people who are sensitive to wheat or have gluten intolerance, as lupin seeds don’t contain gluten, making them a suitable option for those avoiding wheat-based products.
• However, it is important to note that people with nut or legume allergies should avoid lupin-filled heat packs, as lupin is related to peanuts and other legumes. There have been instances where individuals with nut allergies have experienced allergic reactions to lupin. If you have a nut or legume allergy, we recommend using the wheat-filled option instead, or consulting with a healthcare professional to ensure it's safe for you.

Whether you choose wheat or lupin seeds will depend on your preference for odor, heat retention, and safety features.
