Wheat Bags NZ – Natural Heat Packs That Fit Where It Hurts

Wheat bags are small bags filled with wheat grains or lupin that are heated and then used as a natural remedy for aches and pains, or as a way to keep warm during colder months.

Wheat bags are used to relieve:

• Neck and shoulder tension
• Lower back pain
• Period cramps
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Stress, anxiety, and trouble sleeping

They provide natural, drug-free relief through gentle heat or cooling therapy — and are a must-have in any wellness routine. Our wearable wheat bags allow you to stay mobile while healing.

For heat therapy:

• Place your wheat bag in the centre of the microwave.
• If using a wheat-filled bag, add a cup of water to prevent drying out.
• Heat for 1.5 to 4 minutes depending on microwave wattage and bag size.
• Check temperature on the back of your hand before applying.
• Reheat in 30-second bursts if needed.

For cold therapy:

• Place your wheat bag inside a sealed freezer bag.
• Freeze for at least 40 minutes.
• Apply to the affected area for cooling relief from swelling or inflammation.

Using a wheat bag can help you:

• Ease muscle and joint pain
