Advantages of Flaxseed filler in herbal pillows and heat therapy
Our Herbal Concept Product line uses 100% premium
flaxseed.
We use Flaxseed instead of many common less expensive fillers because:
-
It will not smell like cooked food
after heating.
-
It will continue to provide long
lasting heat use after use.
-
It will provide significantly longer
heat without burning the filler with the same bulk and weight.
-
It conforms smoothly to your body.
-
It has superior moisture absorption

heat therapy
It will not smell like cooked food after heating.
This is the one complaint you will hear about these
general types of product - Rice, Corn, Barley are foods - Flax seed is a
flower seed. Rice and corn have a the most significant problem with
smelling like cooked food after a few uses or slight over heating. While
you can burn flax seed, with normal usage it has a neutral smell.
It will continue to provide long lasting heat use after
use.
The oil content is the key flax seed has a very high oil
content, high quality flaxseed exceeds 40% (we use the best) rice will
have 10 to 15% and corn will typically have 4% or less oil content.
Flaxseed wins hands down. The oil is what absorbs and retains heat, the
high water content of other grains does allow for the radiation of heat and
provides moisture moisture but it is short lived and many of them do not regain
the moisture after heating.
It will provide significantly longer heat without
burning the filler with the same bulk and weight.
Again it is the oil, in flax seed it is what absorbs the
heat, not the fiber, which in lower oil content gains is the only source that
can absorb the energy once the water is evaporated. Also why grains burn more
easily the flax seed.
It conforms smoothly to your body.
Flax seeds are very small, in our pillows they feel like
grains of sand, almost liquid in texture. Flax seed does not bulk nor can you
feel individual kernels like corn and buckwheat, flaxseed will flow to
conform to your body
It has superior moisture absorption.
Flax seeds have a porous shell, compared to gains like
rice, and to the most common rice used, polished rice, there is no
comparison. One of the reason rice is polished is to reduce the amount of
moisture it will absorb to extend its shelf life.
The Disadvantages of Flax Seed
It is more expensive and takes more weight to fill your
pillow
We think it is worth it -- you will
too
Years ago - (we were one of the first companies to produce
this product commercially) our product contained a mixture of barley and
flaxseed. Over time the advantages of flaxseed continue to prove
themselves to be well worth the extra cost.
Yet you will find that we are competitively priced.
