- What are the bags used for? Our hot or cold packs can be used hot or cold for headaches like migraines, sinus and tension. They can be used cold for swelling due to injuries or pain after surgery. They can be used hot for arthritis, neck, shoulder or back pain or just to keep warm.
- What's inside? The contents are a combination of small grain like corn, milo, maize, sunflower seeds and a proprietary blend of 12 different herbs. We use herb seeds, not powders so they will last longer.
- You say you use herbs inside. Do you use essential oils or aromatic herbs like lavender? No. But you may add those to your bag if you like and it won't hurt the effectiveness of the bag.
- How long does the temperature last? Both hot and cold lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. Heat lasts longer in bed or under a blanket. Cold lasts as cold as a medical ice pack for 30 minutes.
- How long do they last? We have customers that have had their bag for at least 10 years. But who doesn't need a fresh one, right?!
- Can I wash my bag? Yes. Hand wash in the sink with Wool-light. Just be sure and dry it by draping over a dish drain tray or fan and shake periodically to help the grain dry. You may also dry in the dryer with a load of towels to keep it from banging inside.
- What are the different sizes and prices?
$28.00 Big Chief (11" wide by 22" long)
$14.00 Regular (5" wide by 22" long)

- Do you offer any discounts? Yes, We offer a SHOW Discount of $2 per bag on the Big Chief and Regular Bags, BUT you have to come see us at a show!
- What forms of payment do you accept? Visa/Mastercard/Discover/AMEX/Paypal and Personal Checks are accepted.
- Why do some items show as backordered? If we don't have the bag of choice made up and ready to mail it shows up as backorder. Also if we don't have the fabric in stock it will show up as backorder. In that case we will have to physically go and shop for the fabric, which can delay shipment. It is also possible that we may not be able to find your fabric of choice any longer and you might have to make a different choice. We will contact you if this is the case.
- Is shipping time affected by fabric choice? Yes, possibly. We might not have your fabric choice made up and ready to ship which will show as a back order. It may take up to a week longer before shipment. If time is of the essence, you may want to choose the product marked Generic, Ladies, Mens or Kids and the shipping time will be more in line with what's listed on the shipping choices on your cart.
