To use hot:
Place the herb pack in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. If the microwave does not have a turntable, flip the herb pack over half way through the heating process to avoid burning. Each microwave provides heat differently. To avoid burning the herb pack, it is necessary to check the herb pack every 30 seconds while it is heating. Check to see if it is hot enough; if not, heat it for another 30 seconds until you get the desired heat.

For moist heat, mist the herb pack with water before heating it. Misting also increases the life of the herbs by preserving freshness. To reheat, place the herb pack in the microwave and heat it for about 30 to 40 seconds.
If you don't have a microwave you can heat the herb pack in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°; wrap the herb pack in foil, heat for approximately 15 minutes.
