No Herbs – No additional herbs are added for those with aroma sensitivity. Please note that flax has it’s own nutty aroma, so this option is not entirely unscented. The value of a flax seed pillow is not diminished as the weight of the pillow either warmed or chilled is always a therapeutic benefit.
Mother Earth Pillows are filled with food-grade Golden Flaxseed combined with our proprietary herbal blends. We manufacture our products in the United States using golden flax, dried herbs, Himalayan salt (salt pillows only), and recyclable/reusable packaging.
Our Buckwheat Hull Pillows are made with buckwheat hull only and do not contain herbs.
Absolutely! Store pillows in a sealed plastic bag and place in the freezer for several hours. Chilled pillow can be placed directly on bare skin and conforms comfortably to the body area for optimum cold application.
WARNING: OVERHEATING AND MOISTURE EXPOSURE TO THE PILLOW will negatively impact your pillow and it will no longer be usable. Mother Earth Pillows recommends warming your pillows in a towel warmer and secondly by microwave. We recommend the Elite Towel Cabi which is available on our website.
If you choose to use a microwave oven, the warming time of the Mother Earth Pillow greatly depends on the size of the pillow and the power of your microwave. Instructions are included with all of our pillows or may be found on our web site. Place pillow on a clean plate. It is important that the pillow moves freely and does not touch the inner sides of the microwave to avoid hot spots or scorching the flax seed. Additional 30 second warming intervals help create the desired temperature level.
If additional warmth is desired as pillow begins to cool, reheat at 30 seconds intervals. Microwave power ranges from 500W to 1500W, so heating times should be adjusted according to your unit. Always test before using.
Mother Earth Pillows stay warm for approximately 30-40 minutes. The natural oil in the golden flax holds heat/cold longer than other fill products.
Our proprietary Herbal Blends can last more than six months depending on pillow size and usage. We do provide herbal blend Essential Oil spritzers to refresh your pillow. Click HERE to view our oils and spritzers.
Remove the pillow cover and wash it in cold water. Do not use a dryer! Lay the cover out flat to dry and then replace.
Our Simplicity Pillows do not have removable covers. Spot clean the surface of your pillow, being very careful to not saturate the cover or get the flax wet.
WARNING: OVERHEATING AND MOISTURE EXPOSURE TO THE PILLOW will negatively impact your pillow and it will no longer be usable. If the flaxseed in the pillow is exposed to water, the wet flaxseed will band together permanently, hardening the flaxseed. The pillow will no longer be flexible nor will it hold heat or cool as designed.
We do not recommend that you place a Mother Earth Pillow in the dryer for warming purposes.
Will a dryer heat the pillow to a therapeutic temperature? Probably not.
Is it possible that tumbling it will destroy it? Yes.
Mother Earth Pillows recommends using a Towel Warmer (we recommend Elite brand Towel Cabi) or a microwave oven to heat your pillow.
No laundry dryers, no crock pots, no conventional or convection ovens – we’ve heard it all!
Food-grade golden flaxseed has natural oils that do not exist in brown flax or other fill types. Those natural oils hold heat and cold longer than comparative products.
