The Sock & Rice Trick: Instant DIY Heating Pad That Actually Works

Next time you're in pain or need to warm up, skip the store-bought heat packs. All you need is:

  • 1 clean cotton sock
  • Uncooked rice (not instant)
  • Optional: A few drops of essential oil (like lavender or peppermint)

Steps:

  1. Fill the sock about 3/4 full with rice.
  2. Tie the open end tightly or sew it shut.
  3. Microwave for 1-2 minutes. Check the heat before applying!

This trick works great for:

  • Back or neck pain
  • Warming your bed on cold nights
  • Soothing cramps or sore muscles

Bonus: Add essential oils to make it a calming aromatherapy experience.
