About the wheat bags
The Wheat Packs are made and produced in Queensland Australia, near Goondiwindi on the property Carpendale. They are designed, created and sewn by the Farmers wife Helen!
About Helen
Helen has always been creative, and after supporting the farm for years in the office, this Agricultural lady decided she needed to express her creativity through her work.
Not being able to eat the product (wheat) produced on the property, but with a love of sewing, the Wheat Packs came about. An inherited sewing machine, an overlocker, bought corduroy cotton fabric and some wheat from the silo… and off her journey began, very soon family and friends were putting in their orders, and so became Carpendale Creative!
The uses of wheat bags
Our Hand Made Australian Wheat Bags can be used either warm/hot, in the microwave or frozen cool/cold, in the freezer.
Hot therapy heat packs assist with both relaxation and pain management and provide relief for muscle pain and stiffness in joints. Heat therapy increases your circulation which in with appropriate stretching exercises, helps improve or optimise your flexibility and your joints’ range of motion.
For abdominal and soft tissue pain, heat stimulates the nervous system and this “overrides” the message of pain naturally. Heat also increases blood circulation, thereby decreasing pain as well.
Cool Therapy is best in the first 48 hours after an injury. Generally a fresh injuries become swollen and inflamed and cool therapy will decrease the blood flow to the injury, decreasing swelling and inflamation. Possibly decreasing recovery injury time.
