Making a Microwave Heating Rice Pad

If you want a really simple and quick microwave heating pad, this is a frugal way to throw one together.

Supplies:

• 1 tube sock
• 4-5 cups of rice

• essential oil, dried lavender or dried rosemary (optional)

Instructions:

Fill a tube sock with 4-5 cups or rice or until the sock is 3/4 filled.

At the end of the sock tie a knot and pull tightly so the knot can't come undone easily.

Optional: Add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice. Add a few sprigs of dried lavender or rosemary.

To Use:
Place the rice filled sock in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. You can also place these in the freezer to make a cool pack.

These are great to put around a sore neck or on the small of a sore back. Also great during pregnancy. Make a few of them and put them on all your sore spots. These are much cheaper than the therapy bags sold in stores and work the same.

Note: Don't let the pack get wet.
