In recent months, I have been in physical therapy. Upon arrival, the therapist would bring clay wraps to place on my ankles to loosen the muscles and ligaments that are causing my dropped arches.1. I took a glass pie platter and placed the wrap on its side in the shape of the platter.2. Ensure the clay beads are evenly distributed so that you get the right amount of heat when placing in the microwave.3. It says 20 seconds, that did nothing. But 2 to 3 minutes worked perfectly for me (no longer than 20 minutes it’s says on the back of the bag it comes in.4. It’s not as hot as the ones in my physical therapy office but it does a great job and it smells good too.5. It does weigh at least 2 lbs and I purchased two.6. The pain and stiffness subsided after sitting for 5 to 10 minutes.

I was a little skeptical about how these clay beads would work. I have to say I am very pleased. I heated about 2 minutes in 1000 watt microwave to get it nice and hot. The heat lasts very long and it has a nice light scent.

Love the smell

This was really nice to wrap around my neck for stiffness/pain. It took several tries in the microwave to get it warm enough for me, but it certainly felt great and helped once I had it warm enough and wrapped it around my neck. It can also be placed in the freezer and used cold. The cover is a very nice, soft velour fabric...very luxurious feeling. I didn't notice much of a scent at all, but I didn't really purchase it for aromatherapy benefits so that doesn't affect my review. I'm sure I'll get many years of use out of this. I can see it being really nice to use in the winter if you're in a drafty cold room.

Used for a strained neck, works very nicely.
