Bean Bag for bodyache , anyone???

I will like to share this little "bean Bag" I use whenever I have my shoulder ache, neck pain and back pain.  I was using it to ease my neck pain last night and I think of sharing it  with the SHCian.

Sew a little pillow case of about 10" x 5" and fill 3/4 full  with wheat (Xiao Mia – look like the bailey – u can get it at any provision shop or NTUC. 

Heat the "Bean Bag" in the mirco-wave oven for 1min-1 1/2min. Place it on the "Body ache" . Please place a small towel over it if u have sensitive skin.  It help alot especially on the Knee-Cap pain. It don cure but it release the pain. Some old folk told me that their knee cap is not that painful after long term using it.

I used to sewed this bag for old folk and they are very happy as some are too poor to keep going to the doctor whenever they have this knee-cap problem.

If u have friends and relative who stay in cold country , they can use this as a warmer in the winter.  Please try it out or pass this "Bean Bag Remedy" to friends. It is cheap and reliable as well.

If u keep this bean bag dry ,u can use it for many years. Good Luck

  1. Hello Karen,

    Thanks for the tip.

    Been having this knee problem for the last couple of years and it is usually quite bad after every walking session. Reaching 50 ,but feels like a “Low ah pek”.

    I know at this age, bodyache is very common. I was using it last night and tot I share it with the SHCian.

    Make two smaller bags for the knee cap. It help alot to release the pain.

    I don know why they use wheat, This lady from the “SPA” told us the secret of the filling in the bean bag that was sold in the shop.

    They used the bean bag as part of the therapy for our back ache at that time of treatment

    I believe wheat is rather hard compared to bailey, when bailey get contact with water , it soften very easily but not wheat , this is also why wheat take a longer time to cook.

    No harm trying it out.

  5. Hi Karen

    I can sew the bag for u . Let me know where do u usually use it for – shoulder/back or the knee cap, so that i can know how big u want the bag to be.

    I can fill it up for u as well.

    Please do give me a reminder as I am busy with the buying all the crystal and my kids going back to school next week.

    Let me know and I can buy the Xiao Mia tomorrow morning.

    Thanks u for your support (haha) cos so pathetic no one interested in the bean bag.

  7. Hi Karen

    Thank you very much for your kind offer.

    At the moment, I am not suffering from any ache..touch wood..so I don’t really know which size to ask from you.

    I am more interested on the type of wheat used and how it looks like.

    Perhaps you may sew one that I can use for shoulder and for knee-cap. I think a medium size will do.

    Thank again.

  12. Hi Karen,

    Just saw your article on bean bag.
    I am having shoulder ache, right upper arm ache and back pain for about 2 weeks. Have gone for chinese physician massage and salonpas. The ache is don’t go away…

    Not sure whether I am capable to make one myself??

  13. Hi Karen

    I have send an e-mail to your hotmail.

    I am looking forward to the “Crystal Angel Craft Class” and also to collect the bean bag from you. Its like a birthday present, so timely.

    Thanks again for taking the trouble and having it sew for me.

    Regards

    I can sew the bag for u but u have to fill it up yourself cos carrying one with me for Douglas it rather heavy (3 packet in each bag.

    Don think I will meet u at any event cos I can go down on the gathering next month. I will be in Yew Kwong IT class on 24/June, will u be there.

    Go thru my Craft class and see if I can c/o to anyone who is coming down for the crystal.

    Hospital also use this method to release the pain , the thereapy actually taught a patient to make this bag to use it at home instead of keep coming to the hospital for the heat bag.

  17. Hi Karen,

    Thank you very much for helping to make the bean bag.
    Will not be able to join the IT class (fully taken-up) on 24/6. Can I still join your crystal class on 27/6?

    Cheers.

  18. Aaron

    Sure u can come down and have fun with us.

    I will bring along the casing for u and show u the beans. Anyway, will check the shop along Hock Hai and see if they sell the bean, if so , i don mind to get it for u & Jie cos it is very near HAN.

    See u on Friday. We will be there at 6.30 and having dinner there.

  19. Karen Thio,
    I’m interested in one of your bean bags. How heavy are the beans? Could you also get me some? Thank you.
    See you next Friday.

  20. Mary Chan

    Like what Douglas said, posting something “Free” and I will be expecting lots of emails (haha)

    I am offering the “casing” only – my dear Mary Chan. I cant fill up all the bag cos it is rather heavy . I filled each bag with 3 packs of Beans….

    WIll show u the beans and at the same time the packing, those who are interested will have to get your own bean , I ONLY SUPPLY THE BAG (CASING)

    Now Jie, Douglas & Aaron who will be at the craft class want a bag, I can only do it for Douglas cos he is the first one to ask me.

    As I told Aaron & Douglas, I will check out the shop near Han if they got the bean, if so I will get it for u , if not , then the casing only, ok.

    I can only help that much (haha)

    Karen

  21. My dear Karen, I wasn’t expecting anything free. I will definitely reimburse you for the bag as well as the beans.
    Let me know how much they all cost. Thanks.

  22. Mary Chan

    I am curious on how members know of the free bag , now I just realised that I can go to the “latest Post” to read all the new comments.

    Sorry for the mis-communication break-down. I already sew about 10 bags to give away.

    No grudge bear, please I cant write good comments like what u do on line with STEVEN CHAN la. (ha)
