Make Your Own Relief Pillow

RE: Make Your Own Relief Pillow By (Guest Post) Buckwheat hulls also make a great filler. They are really light so it doesn't get heavy, and they hold the heat and scents very well too!

It works really well with whole flax seeds and sewing every 3 inches or so to close off the pockets. Keeps the filing from all ending up at one end. But since flax seeds are so tiny, you need a tighter weave fabric than a tube sock. You can get whole flax seeds at most health food stores in bulk.

Has anyone ever made one of these and where can I buy the cherry pits for a reasonable price? I am thinking about making these for Christmas gifts.

They work great.

I like this idea Posted on 02/10/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Relief Pillow By Anonymous (135) Blog! Contact Cheryl, that is a great idea!! Those pillows in the mall AND at the flea markets are expensive. I'm going to make one of those to use on my sore neck. Thanks for sharing.

If you have a sore foot or ankle you can drape the heated rice sock over the sore area.I have Rhumatoid arthritis,and sometimes myhands really hurt and I just hold the sock over them it feels so soothing.

Posted on 01/16/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Relief Pillow By marinewife5 (43) Contact This idea applies to making a super heating pad, like the microwaveable ones for which you can pay $10+ at the store. Make a more substantial casing out of some cheap material or old pillow case (as long as its a tight enough weave to hold the rice) Make it any size/shape...8" X 15 is a good neck size. Make a separate case for it, so it can be thrown in the washer. Fill with rice and potpouri (if desired)Heat in the microwave as Cheryl stated. It will be moist and smell like cooked rice but the moisture is good with the heat. These make great gifts that are much appreciated...and cheap, cheap to make.
