SacksyThyme Microwave Heating Pad for Pain Relief, Flaxseed & Cherry Pit Herbal Heating Pad, Hot Cold Therapy (Grey)

Searching the internet for a quality, worth-the-cost natural heating and cooling pad. Came across this one, and I’m thrilled with it so far.*Menstrual cramps: Women, relieve your suffering with this! It’s like a warm, soothing hug for the ovaries. I typically have moderate to severe cramping during menses and in effort to avoid taking medication, I try natural remedies like warm baths, essential oils, and now this product. I stuck mine in the microwave for 1 min, 30 seconds and was pleasantly surprised with both the steady warmth and the ability to contour it to my body. I started off on my abdomen, then further down, and at one point between my legs almost like a diaper - lol. But hey, it worked and within a few minutes, I felt significant relief.*Headaches: Another use for this pad is for headaches and sinus pressure relief. I popped it into the freezer for about an hour, and the coolness wasn’t too sharp/shocking for my headache induced sinus pressure. Just cool it minimally and rest it across your eyes, nose, and cheeks. It can also be folded for double the weight, which is helpful sometimes.*Arthritis: Ah, the joys of rheumatic issues, am I right? Hot or cold, depending on how you treat your arthritis, this is a game changer. The heat and cold are both concentrated especially if you fold this pad; you can also sort of wrap it around you if you’re focusing on a hip or knee.*Pets: My cats especially seem intrigued by this pad, and after I had used it, I placed it on my coffee table. My cat immediately circled on top of it and took a nap. Not sure that it’s meant for this, but I can see this being useful from a holistic aspect for pet owners that are tending to animals with arthritis, hip issues, or even pets that are constantly shivering. Just be wary of temperatures and don’t go crazy heating it up.Other thoughts... the scent of this is pleasant and not overwhelming. Reminds me of a health food store or the smell of an aromatherapy room in a massage place. The fabric is sturdy and seems well-constructed. I purchased the black and white gradient stripes. Overall, this is absolutely a product that I’m glad I purchased, that I’ll get a ton of use out of, and that I would consider giving to friends and family as gifts — especially someone recovering from illness or injury.

This is a great product. I love it! It keeps the heat. It works great for pain relief. It has a great smell but it is not too strong a scent. I would highly recommend this product.

Like a few other people that reviewed this product i have endometriosis too and have been longing to get one of these for so long. to heat helps tremendously with my symptoms. i try to be an honest reviewer so here it goes. the product its self seems really well made. the thing i liked most was that it came with a warranty for a year. the size of the product (for me) is perfect and covers the width of my body relatively perfectly. The scent of the thyme is so relaxing and not over bearing. I get migraines from overly scented things and this is just a light smell. it also keeps the heat very well, I put mine in the microwave for 1:30 and the heat lasts for about an hr. surprisingly you can also chill this one too. instructions that came with it say to keep in the freezer for about 2 hrs in a resealable bag. so far i have not had any negativity with my purchase. it actually arrived way before it was scheduled to which i was so grateful as i was dealing with my symptoms. colors are true to picture but i should note that its not machine washable but you can spot clean if needed. I would definitely recommend getting this product and plan to buy more lol. i honestly didn't know how much i would love this thing.

I love the weight and the scent. The design on the fabric is nice, and it’s easy to use. However, the heat dissipates in just a few minutes.

My old bean bag had thinner material and eventually tore. This one has great quality fabric! It did however get flagged at the airport when it was in my carry on. They weren’t too sure what they were seeing on that screen with a bunch of small round looking seed things floating in my bag. I set the bean bag on top of my snack bag inside my carry on duffel bag

I am super pleased with this well-made, sturdy, and beautiful heat pack. I use mine daily for warming up my bed at night as well as for muscle pain and headaches. I especially love that it is made with organic filler, so I’m not cuddling up with glyphosates. I also appreciate the center stitching creating two channels to hold the filling in place, and that a soft fabric tag with heating instructions and materials list is sewn in. Great product design! The scent is lovely too. Beautifully packaged and promptly shipped. Would make a wonderful gift.

My eye doctor told me to put hot compresses on my eyes every day for about 15 minutes. He said to use a damp washcloth. But I would have to re-heat it about 10 times. Royal PITA. I heat this up in the microwave and put it on my eyes on a damp washcloth. Done. Feels really nice and smells really nice. The weight is perfect also. Reminds me of heated homemade cherry pit pillows my Swiss friends always took to bed. And I did too when I was there in the winter time!
