Natural aroma-thermo-therapy for your
* sore muscles * aches * pains * chills * tension
* stress * headaches * stomach aches * ear aches

You can heat ‘em, freeze ‘em, hug ‘em, But you can't be without them!

"What's a Hug? It's a soft, polar fleece wrapped bag filled with grain and dried herbs. Our special processing ensures that the scent is infused into the grain for long lasting aromatherapy benefits. The polar fleece is a special fabric that is soft, durable, easy to keep clean, has amazing thermal retention and feels wonderful against your skin.

Place them in the microwave, toss them in the freezer or simply use their comforting and gentle scents as an aromatherapy pillow. Whichever way you choose, it is sure to become a household favorite. Complete directions for proper use and care of your Hug are inside the package."


I was so excited when I heard about the Herbal Hug and thrilled when Nancy sent me my very own!!

The Herbal hug I got is called the Body Pack. It is versatile and can be used anywhere on your body.

What I love the most is the smell!! I got the Rose and Chamomile one. Boy does it smell great.


I also love the fact that you can use it as a heat pack, cold pack or just as is.


It is so soft and comfortable to use, that you forget that its even there.






Herbal Hugs come in other sizes including Neck Wraps and Eye Bags.

Or you can get the Gift Pack with all three sizes!!




"What's in a Hug?
A Herbal Hug contains a blend of wheatseed, flaxseed and dried herbs. The grain is certified cleaned, however there is a chance that there are small amounts of other seeds in the grain. The fabric we use is satin for the eye bags and polar fleece for the rest of the Hugs.

How do they work?
The blend of grains that we use is one that was extensively researched to ensure a long lasting heat with excellent scent retention. The flaxseed is an oil seed which when used by itself can heat up very quickly and get to a temperature where it can burn skin. The wheatseed on the other hand takes longer to heat but people loose patience and will often burn a totally wheat filled bag. When combined in the right proportions, however, the flaxseed heats up fast and transfers that heat to the wheat, ensuring that your bag will have a longer lasting thermal ability over almost all the other bags in the market.

As the bag is heated the scent from the herbal content is released and you get a wonderful herbal scent to go with the thermal therapy, something we call aromathermotherapy."

Herbal Hugs is using compostable cello bags for packaging and in 2011 will be using all organic ingredients.


This is truly a great product, and I am glad to promote it!!


Now I am also glad to say that Nancy has offered one lucky reader their very own Body Pack like I got!!
