Therapeutic Wheat Cushions
Our natural Therapeutic Wheat Cushions are an excellent, effective, and eco-friendly alternative to chemical-filled cushions used for heat and cold therapy. Our cushions are homemade using 100% cotton, filled with pesticide and chemical-free, wheat, dehydrated rosemary and lemon or sage and lavender - components and ingredients that you can feel good about using.
​
Our therapeutic pillows are a perfect way to provide soothing pressure while helping release toxins from your muscles, reduce back, neck & facial tension, promote relaxation, alleviate headaches and muscle aches.
Better yet? Its versatile design allows it to be stored in the freezer and when needed it is still pliable, it will not melt retaining its temperature without all the mess.
