Operating Instructions

Once the inner pouch is prepared and re-inserted into the outer casing, the wrap is ready for use.

• Application: Gently place the wrap around your neck and shoulders, ensuring the weighted clay beads provide a comfortable, supportive sensation. The design allows for a perfect fit across various body types.
• Therapeutic Benefits: The hot therapy helps to soothe stiff muscles, increase blood flow, and alleviate tension. Cold therapy can reduce swelling, numb pain, and provide relief from soreness.
• Aromatherapy: The light lavender scent infused in the wrap promotes a calming and relaxing environment, enhancing the overall therapeutic experience.
• Duration of Use: Use for comfortable periods as needed. For hot therapy, re-heat when the warmth diminishes. For cold therapy, re-chill when the cooling effect lessens.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your neck and shoulder wrap.

• Outer Casing: Spot-clean the outer plush casing as needed using a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
• Inner Pouch: For the inner clay bead pouch, dry brush only. Do not wash the inner pouch with water.
• Storage: Store the wrap in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the inner pouch is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
• Important: Always remove the inner casing before cleaning the outer casing.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Heating/Cooling: If the inner pouch heats or cools unevenly, remove it from the outer casing and gently knead or shake the beads to redistribute them before re-inserting.
• Wrap Not Warm Enough: Ensure your microwave wattage is sufficient. Increase heating time in 15-second increments, not exceeding 3 minutes total, and always check temperature before applying to skin.
• Wrap Not Cold Enough: Ensure the inner pouch has been in the freezer for at least 2 hours. For prolonged cold, consider using a second pouch if available.
• Scent Fades: The lavender scent may naturally diminish over time. The therapeutic benefits of hot/cold therapy will remain.
• Beads Shifting: The clay beads are designed to shift to conform to your body. If they collect in one area, gently manipulate the pouch to redistribute them.
