I have had mine for years and it hasn't turned rancid. You may want to add some dried peppermint leaves if you like. I have used many dried herbs before. Peppermint and lavender mixed are my favorites. I usually dampen the fabric and microwave 1 1/2 - 2 min. It is so relaxing and I love the two fragrances together. I have used flax seed some of the bags and rice the other times. My flax seed bags are the oldest....5+ years for several of them I made for myself and my daughters.
