Soothing Relief from Pain and Stress . . .Just a Cuddle Away

Sootheze Toasty Spa Friends Provide Heat, Cold, and Aromatherapy in a Delightful Way

Freemont, CA -- Pain and stress often go hand in hand. Whether you are seeking relief from injury, arthritis, surgery, muscle and joint conditions, or migraine headaches, it is important to relieve not only physical but emotional stress. In fact, according to researchers, stress can extend the total time it takes for a wound to heal by as much as 40 percent. Now, there’s an innovative, effective and even delightful way to alleviate pain and emotional stress by reaching out and cuddling up to a warm and toasty friend.

Sootheze is taking pain relief beyond traditional hot and cold therapy packs with Sootheze Toasty Spa Friends – a full line of comforting, easy-to-use products that not only deliver heat and cold therapy, but also offer the calming, soothing, and stress-relieving benefits of aromatherapy.

Designed for use from children to seniors, Toasty Spa Friends are available in multiple lines of different animal designs, including soft and snuggly bears, wild animals, pigs, bunnies, and sea creatures. Providing soothing comfort and relief from everyday aches and pains, these animals are ideal for friends and loved ones recovering from illness or loss, seniors feeling the effects of aging, and children who are happy and willing to accept relief delivered in a familiar, appealing and cuddly form.  Now people of all ages can use their favorite animal to effectively relieve a multitude of ailments, including: neck, back and joint pain; cramps; cold and flu symptoms; migraine headaches; agitation and anxiety often felt by Alzheimer’s sufferers.

Ultra-soft and calming to the touch, each Toasty Spa Friend is filled with nine whole herbs and USDA food grade natural flax seed that, when heated in a microwave for a minute or two, give off up to two hours of warmth and soothing aromas to provide effective, calming physical therapy for the whole body.  Unlike buckwheat and plastic pellets used in other types of microwavable heat pads, flax seed is the best for temperature retention and doesn’t break down, get dusty, lump or clump.     

What’s more, these adorable animals can also be placed in a freezer to provide relaxing cold therapy.  No more frosty ice packs or potentially dangerous electric heat pads and messy hot water bottles!  Sootheze products are the two in one solution, offering today’s smart, health-conscious consumers the most effective and relaxing way to help relieve almost any type of pain while also enjoying the therapeutic, stress-relieving benefits of aromatherapy.

About Sootheze

Sootheze was started in a one-car garage in 1995 by a massage therapy student and her husband. The original products were the Hot & Cold Therapy Pads and the Buckwheat Hull Pillows. In 1998, the first Toasty Bear was introduced, and the success of this product established the company as a leader in the heat, cold, and aromatherapy industry. Four years later, the Christine James Home Comfort Collection line was added, creating a comprehensive line of home therapy and spa products.  In 2004, Sootheze was acquired by Paul Losch and continues to grow today, offering unique, highly valued, premium quality products that fit most budgets and are quite unlike other “blister pack” offerings.
