When it comes to natural pain relief, comfort and effectiveness shouldn't be compromised.

That’s why at Zea, we’ve created a better kind of heat pack—one that blends traditional comfort with modern, nature-inspired innovation. Our  Natural Lupin Heat Packs are filled with 100% Australian-grown lupin, offering a safer, longer-lasting, and more soothing alternative to wheat packs.

In this blog post, we’ll explore why lupin is a superior choice for heat therapy, how Zea’s Natural Lupin Heat Packs stand apart, and how to get the most out of yours—whether for everyday comfort or targeted pain relief.

Lupin vs Wheat Heat Packs

When you think of a heat pack, you might picture a traditional wheat-filled pouch. But we’ve taken a fresh approach—by choosing lupin, a legume native to Australia, known for its superior heat retention, comfort, and safety.

Lupin is actually one of Australia’s most widely cultivated crops, and for good reason. It holds both heat and cold longer than traditional wheat, reheats more quickly, and lasts longer over time.

Unlike wheat, lupin is naturally odourless and doesn’t release moisture when heated. That means no musty smells or dampness—just clean, dry, therapeutic warmth right where you need it.

Lupin is also known to be more hypoallergenic than wheat, making it a gentler choice for children or those with sensitivities. It’s lighter in weight, more moisture-resistant, and all-around more comfortable to use.

The Zea Relief Difference

We’re proud to say our Heat Packs are:

All-Natural & Chemical-Free

Made with 100% natural lupin and cotton fabric, our packs are free from synthetic additives, chemicals, or artificial fragrances.

Australian-Grown & Handmade

Supporting local matters. Every Zea Relief Therapeutic Heat Pack is lovingly handmade right here in Australia, using sustainably grown lupins from Aussie farmers.

Longer-Lasting Heat

Thanks to lupin’s dense structure, our heat packs stay warmer for longer, delivering consistent, soothing relief to tired muscles and joints.

Dual-Purpose: Heat or Cold Therapy

Need cooling comfort? Just pop your Zea pack in the freezer for a refreshing cold compress—ideal for inflammation or post-workout soreness.

Odourless & Allergy-Friendly

Say goodbye to that musty wheat smell. Lupin stays fresh and dry, making it perfect for those with sensitivities.

Designed for Everyday Use

Our heat packs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to target different areas of the body—from the Adjustable Hip & Lower Back Wrap to the Neck & Shoulder Pack, and our ever-popular Rectangle Body Pack. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to unwind at the end of a long day, there’s a Zea heat pack designed to fit your lifestyle.

How to maximise your relief

For even greater results, we recommend pairing your heat pack with our Zea Relief Range. Apply a layer of Kunzea Concentrated Massage Oil or Kunzea Pain Relief Cream, then follow with the heat pack to help the active ingredients absorb deeper into the muscles and joints.

Wellness, the Natural Way

Whether you're easing sore muscles, managing chronic pain, or just need a moment of relaxation, Zea’s Natural Lupin Heat Packs deliver comforting relief you can count on. Backed by the power of nature and designed for everyday life, they’re a simple yet powerful addition to any wellness routine.
