The therapeutic teddy bear is much more than a traditional heating pad! Its effectiveness comes from the moisture released through osmosis when the organic cereal grain blend inside is heated or cooled. This unique blend has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike traditional heating pads filled with cherry pits or flaxseed, the therapeutic teddy bear does not become extremely hot or cold. Instead, it becomes pleasantly moist when briefly heated or cooled. After about 15 minutes, its temperature naturally adjusts to closely match body temperature. For this reason, when used according to the instructions, our therapeutic teddy bear is considered highly safe, even for newborn babies. Features: - Therapeutic teddy bear (13 × 18 cm) - Includes a removable cereal grain insert and a machine-washable cover - Suitable from birth through adulthood - Can be used warm or cold - Helps reduce inflammation - Recognized by Health Canada and the European Union - Lovingly made in Quebec, Canada
