Beginner Level

BEGINNER LEVEL -

Materials Needed:

Tube or dress sock
3 cups flaxseed or rice

dōTERRA essential oil(s)

Pour flaxseed or rice into sock. Tie a knot. To use, place in microwave for

2-3 minutes and then add 2 drops essential oil

TIPS:
• If you smell burning while microwaving heating pad, you are
microwaving too long. Try cutting down the heating time or lowering

the power setting to 50%
• Use the leftover fabric to make hand warmers

• Homemade heating pads make great gifts. Give a heating pad with
a bottle of your favorite dōTERRA essential oil to friends and loved
ones for a practical gift they are sure to love!

NOTE: If you do not have a microwave, you can heat your heating pad

by putting it in an oven-safe dish and heating in the oven at 150° for 15
minutes. Remember to set a timer and to frequently check your
heating pad to make sure it doesn’t get too hot and become a fire

hazard.

CAUTION: The heating pad will be very warm and can burn you if you
heat it for too long. Start by putting your heating bag in the microwave
for 1 minute, and then increase by 30 second increments until you have

achieved your desired temperature. If you accidentally heat it for too
long, let it rest until it becomes cooler. You might also want to place a

wash cloth or towel against your skin to act as a barrier and to ensure
you don’t get burned in case you heat it more than you intended.
