the wheat bags that you can warm in the microwave. They have been handmade with no scent added to the wheat so giving you the choice to fragrance it or not. The general rule is heat is very useful for muscle tightness and aches and ice is good for acute muscle strains and joints sprains. Click ligament sprains and muscle strains for more info. The heat helps the muscle fibres to relax by attracting warm blood to the muscle, which will help rid the area of lactic acid and loosen the fibres themselves, so making them slightly longer. Chiropractors tend to recommend heat for chronic muscle tightness, and to use before doing specific stretches they may have prescribed for your treatment. A warm muscle is always easier to stretch. So how a sportsperson has to warm up before they exercise, so does a patient before stretching normally, so as not to cause more injury. The bags are also divided into three compartments, so even amounts of warm wheat are kept separate. This means when it is on your neck for instance, the warm wheat doesn't sag down to the ends, leaving you with little or no heat over your neck.
