Heating and Cooling Your HeatbagUpdated 19 days ago

How to Heat (Hot Therapy)

For a long-lasting, natural warmth, heat the clay bag only in the microwave.

  • Settings: Heat at maximum power.

    • 800W: 60 seconds

    • 1000W: 55 seconds

  • Important Rules: * Never microwave the outer cover (the metal zipper is a hazard).

    • Ensure all additional microwave features (like grill or convection) are turned off.

    • Only heat the bag when it is at room temperature. Never heat a frozen clay bag.

    • If you prefer more warmth, continue in 5-second intervals until you reach your desired temperature.

How to Cool (Cold Therapy)

For soothing relief from inflammation or heat, place the clay bag in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Before use, check that the temperature is comfortable for your skin.

Essential Precautions

  • Always Use the Cover: Never apply the clay bag directly to your skin. The cover is designed to regulate temperature and protect you.

  • Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not use on open wounds, sensitive skin, or areas of severe swelling.

  • Check for Damage: Before each use, inspect the clay bag for punctures or leaks. If damaged, discard it immediately.

  • Supervision: Adult supervision is required. Do not allow children to heat the bag unsupervised.

  • Medical Advice: If you have a serious injury or chronic condition, consult your physician to ensure thermotherapy is right for your specific case.
