Nature's Approach Herbal Neck Wrap Microwavable Shoulder Wrap Cotton Organic Heating Pad - Cold Therapy Pain Relief for Muscle Tension Stress Reduction (Shoulder Wrap Celestial Indigo)

I fractured my elbow a few months ago and I started to see a physical therapist while in recovery. My PT recommended this product because it creates a moist heat, which penetrates to the bone unlike dry heat like a traditional heating pad. Just microwave it for the recommended time (I think it’s only 2.5 minutes) and apply to area. It’s nice and large so it wrapped around my arm and then some. The heat lasts a long time and the weight feels soo nice when used on my shoulders or on my stomach for cramping. Its feels like a warm, comforting hug. I’m so thankful my PT recommended this!

This shoulder warmer is fantastic for aching muscles, stiff neck, headaches, and the smell is amazing. I highly recommend this item. I have been purchasing these for years and as one wears out I buy a new one.

I have become somewhat of a reluctant connoisseur of a variety of heated shoulder wraps, having purchased scores of them over the years, from liquid filled, electric and my preferred, these buckwheat or grain filled wrap (not sure what the filing is, honestly). My primary use is for treatment of migraines, and these style wraps are one of the few items that allow me a moment of relief. Somehow the hotter I can get one of these and place on my head and face, my neurons seem to become confused by the overload of sensation and I get a moment of relief. This style wrap has become my "go to" because the lack of a protective cover allows a more direct heat transfer, and the grainy filling forms easily to my face, shoulders and head. They heat in a microwave quickly (3 to 4 minutes in mine) and retain the temperature well. I have been known to re-heat it a dozen times in a 6 hour period, all without incident. This particular pack/wrap is great, although there are many similar styles out there. Large enough and filled appropriately to allow for folding and maneuvering into various positions (which I do often). I use it a lot, and based on previous experience, expect several hundred uses or a couple of years before the inevitable small holes seem to pop up. Not unexpected with the severe usage I demand. I will purchase by a couple more to keep around as backups. It is like a security blanket, I travel with it and need to know it is there, even though I may not required it's relief.

A friend gave me one of these shoulder warmers years ago when I used it until it fell apart. I then started looking for a replacement and tried a few before I found this one. I put this in the microwave for two minutes almost every morning and then start my morning chores with it on my shoulders. I lift weights and run and work out quite a bit so between the weights and the planks I always have a few twinges, but I’m not really using this for big pain. However, if you just want something that is cozy, comfortable and would help neck or shoulder pain this thing is wonderful. My best friend also has one and loves it and my brother, who does have neck and back issues says it helps!

I had a “herbie” like this several years ago. I got it at a home and garden show. I loved it! Used it almost every night for several years. My daughter asked for one for Christmas this year and I read the descriptions of several different ones online. This sounded like the closest if not exactly like the one I had. I ordered one for her for Christmas and had to get one for myself as well because I don’t have my original one any more. I was so pleasantly surprised that it has the same scent and works just like the one I used to have. I love how the warmth is so soothing for sore muscles. I will be ordering a couple more soon because my son loves to use mine and my granddaughter loves to use my daughter’s. This way they will have their own. I highly recommend these! You will not be disappointed!!

Use these all the time for migraines. I leave mine in the freezer on a constant basis so it’s available.

I didn't realize the aroma would bother me. Also so many cuts and stitches in it. Not smooth and very uncomfortable. Can't use but the one time I did, it does not stay hot even when heating for 4 minutes. My old one I heat for 2 1/2 minutes and can keep on me for at least an hour. This didn't stay hot for 5 minutes and too heavy for me. I reordered another one from previous manufacturer that I love but a square instead on oblong but I know it will work for me. I didn't save box or any info in it and I cut the tag off so didn't even try to return it.

I like the size and the shape and the fit of this pad. I’ve tried it with microwave heat, and with freezer cold and both work very well. It stays on my neck and does not slide off like some other ones I have had. I would recommend this product

I used this on my neck, back and shoulders. It’s big and smells nice. Might need to heat it longer in the microwave because it’s huge. It’s a little heavy too in a good way

Works as described.
