Operating Instructions

A. Hot Therapy (Microwave Use)

For long-lasting, penetrating warmth to relieve muscle stress, tension, or pain:

1. Ensure the wrap is clean and dry.
2. Place the wrap flat in a clean microwave. Do not fold or bunch.
3. Heat in 30-second increments. The maximum recommended heating time is 3 minutes total.
4. Carefully remove the wrap from the microwave.
5. Test the temperature on the back of your hand or wrist before placing it on your neck and shoulders.
6. Apply the warm wrap to the desired area.

Note: The wrap may feel slightly damp after heating; this is normal and indicates the natural herbs are releasing their aromatic properties.

2. Chill the wrap in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
3. Remove from the freezer and plastic bag.
4. Apply the chilled wrap to the desired area.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Spot clean only. Do not submerge in water or machine wash, as this will damage the natural filling. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean any soiled areas, then air dry completely before storage or next use.

Storage

Store the wrap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrap is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

• Wrap not heating sufficiently: Ensure your microwave is functioning correctly. Increase heating time in 15-second increments, not exceeding the maximum recommended total heating time of 3 minutes.
• Wrap too hot: Allow the wrap to cool for a few minutes before applying. Always test temperature on skin before use. Reduce heating time for future uses.
• Aroma fading: The natural scent may diminish over time with repeated use. This does not affect the therapeutic heating or cooling properties of the wrap.
• Unpleasant odor: If an unusual or burnt odor occurs during heating, immediately stop heating and discard the product. This indicates overheating or damage.
