I believe in making products that are useful and that I would be happy to have in my life! Most of our products are created because of something that I really need or could imagine enjoying at home.
Last year, I suffered from an acute frozen shoulder, so I made myself a Wheat Bag to get relief from the constant pain.
The team and I tested out a few designs and were so happy with the final sample, we decided to add it to our collection.
We’ve tested our wheat bags rigorously for safety, comfort and effectiveness. They're independently tested for safety and by me and the team for comfort and effectiveness. See the Safety Sheet here.
We've created wheat bags in four beautiful linen colours from our popular Garden and Hedgerow designs, duck egg blue, natural, mustard and sage green.
Our final design has incorporated all the learning from my original wheat bag.
We are so happy to have a product that can be a great help with all kinds of pain and inflammation, from soothing menstrual pains to giving relief to muscle strains and aching joints.

Benefits of Using a Linen Wheat Bag
1. Natural Pain Relief
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Linen is a natural fibre derived from the flax plant, which is biodegradable and requires fewer resources to produce compared to synthetic materials. Additionally, wheat, as the filling, is a renewable resource, making this bag an environmentally friendly alternative to electric heating pads or disposable heat packs.
- Reusable and Long-Lasting
Unlike single-use heating packs or chemical heat wraps, each linen wheat bag can be used over and over again. With proper care, it can last for years, making it a cost-effective and sustainable option for your health and wellness needs.
- Dual Functionality: Heat or Cold Therapy
Our Linen Wheat Bags aren’t just for heat therapy. You can also use them as cold packs by storing them in the freezer. Cold therapy is particularly helpful for reducing swelling, soothing headaches, and treating sprains or minor injuries. This dual functionality makes it a versatile tool to have on hand for various types of relief.
- Stress and Anxiety Reduction
A warm wheat bag can be the perfect addition to your relaxation routine. The warmth helps to ease stress, anxiety, and even insomnia. Whether you place it on your shoulders, lap, or stomach, the comforting weight and warmth offer relaxation in an instant.
