Saskatoon-based artist and baba (grandmother in Ukrainian), started making heating/cooling pads for her family and friends, soon to be coined "Baba Bags" by one of her grandchildren. They are constructed with vintage and/or reclaimed fabric and filled with locally grown flaxseed.
Many similar products are filled with wheat. They work well, but as the water inside the grain is repeatedly heated, it will eventually dry out. In contrast, flaxseed contains about 42% oil and it is this oil that is heated rather than water, which means a flax bag will last longer than wheat. Flaxseed also feels softer and is more pliable inside the bag, making Baba Bags more comfortable and effective on any area of the body.
Because they are filled with flax instead of wheat, Baba Bags are 100% GLUTEN-FREE!
Baba Bags are therapeutic for many ailments including:
*Fibromyalgia
*Rheumatoid arthritis
*Postpartum cramping
*Hot flashes
*Lupus
*Menstrual cramps
*Sports injuries
*Joint pain
*Stomach and digestive issues
*Muscle tension and strains
