Nature's Way Herbal Pack not only smells great but it works well to soothe aching muscles. I have my own and recently bought one for a friend for Christmas. She was so appreciative and was as happy with her product as I am with mine. Definitely a good buy and the price cannot be beat!

PROS:
Smells nice
Heats up in about 2 minutes
Provides a really good, moist heat to affected area
Stays hot a fairly long time
Does not smell "burnt" when microwaved, like my old pack (not a NW pack - which had broken rice bits in it instead of herbs).

CONS:
Fabric feels somewhat thinner than I expected, I am worried about how it will hold up over time, being heated up frequently.

Instructions say to heat up for 1 minute, but I found that was nowhere near long enough - the pack was barely warm. About 2 minutes works great for me.

All-in-all, this pack is very nice. I expected something similar to my old pack which had broken rice bits instead of herbs, but this has a nice strong herb smell, retains heat well, and works well for me on affected area to relieve pain.

I have not used it as a cold pack.

I really love these packs. I bought two a few years ago and they are still in great condition. They also smell fantastic! You can use them for heat or cold. I throw them in the microwave for about 3 minutes and they stay hot for a good 20 minutes which is something I really like about them. I don't know if all the herbs do much other than smell nice, but they work great for being an ice or heat pack!

I have been a customer of theirs for a couple of years. The product is as promised, smooth transctions evertime and shipped in a couple of days. Great Amazon seller and product!! Thank You!!

this product is exactly what i was looking for. after doing lots of research on these herbal packs, i decided to go with this one and im very glad i did. gets very cold when left in the fridge. feels wonderful either layed accross my forehead or chest. very relaxing to use

These packs are great! We've had a couple that my wife got at a nursing seminar several years back. My wife suffers from chronic migranes, and these packs really work well for both hot and cold therapy. Our packs have been HEAVILY used and have literaly HUNDREDS of hot/cold cycles on them. The print on the cloth has faded somewhat over the years, and the aroma from the various seeds is pretty much gone, but as hot/cold pads they still work well. I'm finally ordering more to get the aroma therapy aspect back, but even so I'll still use the old ones as well. I've recommended these to friends and they have been just as impressed with theirs as we have been with ours.

I have found all of Nature's Way pack products (the eyepatch, the basic patch and the shoulder pack) to be warm, sturdy and effective. I like how the filling can be adjusted to mold to ones body although they could be slightly fuller. I also wish they would stay warm longer. However, the construction is very quality and should last for some time.

The whole family loves the herbal pac. We find it holds it's heat longest when the exposed side is covered (i.e.for my back, I place it and sit up against a pillow)

This pack smells wonderful and works great for headaches and or congestion. Definitely relaxes you and soothes you. I have been using aromatherapy packs for years. They always takes the ache from sore necks too.

I have used this product in the past. However, we were flooded out in Sept. and I lost the pack as well as any info for the item. The Basic Pack is wonderful. I have a bad back and this pack is perfect for it. I heat it in the micro. My son-in-law, who is a roofer, recently had an operation on his leg, due to falling off the roof. I gave him the pack which he freezes. He said it was great.
