RE: Heat Therapy Pillow
I found that this method of therapy really works. If you don't want to go to the trouble of sewing,try what my grandmother does. She takes two old socks (don't have to match) fill one with Rice, tie the end in a knot. Slip the other sock over the first and tie another knot. You can heat this in the microwave same as before. If you get some festive socks you can have one for all seasons.

I used dried corn once. It was great until the winter we were away and the mice found it!

I have a Heat Therapy Pillow with drid beans. It works pretty well too. Is there anything else that it can be filled with? Donita in Colorado

RE: Heat Therapy Pillow
I make mine extra special especially when giving it as a gift. I add a few drops of Lavendar oil to the rice. The heat will bring that smell alive. As the smell gets less and less just add a few drops to the outside cloth. I like Lavendar because it has a soothing effect. It helps reduce stress. I hope this helps.

I make these too but when heating them in a microwave, I put them in with a bit of water in a cup. The rice is less apt to burn and better also for the microwave

RE: Heat Therapy Pillow
Great ideas! Why not not make a heat therapy pillow to keep food warm when taking to a party?? Try wrapping food/covered container in newspaper using your heat pillow and placing in a paper bag!

RE: Heat Therapy Pillow
I make something these - but I make my rice bag out of muslin and make a "pillowcase" out of fleece or flannel or other nice fabric. This allows the outer casing to be washed if it gets dirty, or the rice bag to be easily replaced if the rice gets old. It does not have the ties to tie it on though.
I find the extra layer of fabric between me and the rice is nice because sometimes it is too hot. Regina in NY

Yes, they are great! I use mine all the time, & any cheap rice will do. It's almost a nice damp heat & stays hot pretty long. I nuke mine 2 mins, then it is really hot. I used cotton material & on one I made, I sewed a centre seam lengthwise so the rice doesn't all bunch up.
