The Thermal-Aid bears are designed to eliminate pain, swelling and fever in small children. These bears make treating kids easier than ever before. The bears are safe and made from 100% natural cotton and filled with natural corn. Warm it up in the microwave or freeze it in the freezer. Our Bio-Engineers and Doctors worked closely with milling experts using a unique patented process, which removes the embryo/germ tip cap and outer coat from each kernel of corn. This leaves the purest and cleanest portion of the corn product. This process hardens the specialized de-germinated corn, allowing it to hold temperatures evenly for long periods of time. It also eliminates mold, fungi and foul odors often associated with natural heating/cooling products. Uses for Thermal-Aid Treatment Packs include: Arthritis, back pain, muscle soreness, menstrual cramps, neck pain, carpal tunnel, headaches, and migraines, sprains/strains, sunburn, fever, stomach aches and flu symptoms, bug bites, lactation, babies with colic (under adult supervision), multiple sclerosis and growing pains. See enclosed instructions for details. 100% Natural Doctor Recommended Thermal-Aid Bear is great for kids of all ages! They are great to help reduce fever"s when applied cold out of the freezer and they also are a great heat source for a child to cuddle with at bed time.
