Rice Bags
#41
I'm an herbalist. Just add some drops of a beautiful essential oil like lavendar or ylang ylang to them and it will eliminate all smell. Just a drop or two is all that is needed. The warmth makes them smell sensational. You can also buy fillings made especially for these bags that contain the oils already.

Nice idea, Ruth.. I'm wondering about whether the hand sized rice bag could be doubled and joined.. to bring warmth to both sides of the hand at one time. I often have hand pain [my guess is early arthritis since my dear old gramma had it badly] and know many others who do too. When I get a chance to try this I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks for your post!

When I was teaching (Home Ec) I had my students make some one year. We made a tube, filled it with rice and wound it around and around for a mug warmer. We also put spices like cinnamon and nutmeg in with the rice to keep it smelling nice.

Once in a ski resort area, while on a business trip in early 1980s, I called the main desk of the hotel to ask for a heating pad for a sore neck and shoulder. The clerk referred me to the kitchen! There, the responder said he would "send me a pad" and then I learned about what you are calling "warmers" Since then I have used sturdy cotton like duck, corduroy, and channels (several inches wide), in any size anyone would want.
