The Hug Me Better® Bear has an inner bag filled with wheat that can be heated in the microwave. Wheat bags have been used as an alternative therapy for many years. Wheat has a unique cellular structure which can absorb heat or cold quickly and then release it evenly. This makes a wheat bag a wonderful and safe alternative to a hot water bottle. The Natural Wheat Bag Company also produce aromatherapy bears. 5% of all their sales are donated to the NSPCC.
