...Regular grain white rice (not minute rice)
...Old cotton sock, like a tube sock ...rubber band Be sure there is no metals in sock thread or in the rubber band. Place enough rice to fill up your sock and tie it tight with a rubber band. Put it in a microwave oven for a few minutes until it is as hot as you like. Makes a wonderful heat pack for any body aches, and you can take it anywhere because you don't need to plug it in. My kids use this for ear aches and I use it for arthritis. I heard that birdseed in place of rice also works but I have not tried it. Minute rice will burn in the microwave. It would be possible to warm up the rice on a cookie sheet in a warm oven and then putting the rice in a sock or casing if you don't have a microwave. |
