Autumn restock — 20% off your first pad ends in --:--:--
Infrared heat + 6 botanicals

Relief that stays after you unplug.

The Velara pad pairs steady far-infrared warmth with a refillable herbal core so heat carries the botanicals into the muscle instead of sitting on the skin.

The refillable core

Twelve botanicals, milled and sealed into a pouch that lasts 100 uses.

Coarse-milled, never powdered, so the volatile oils survive storage. No fragrance, no fixatives, nothing synthetic — the same warming-compress formula Vietnamese households have used for generations.
