It works much better than the rice bag although I'm afraid most of you won't be able to take advantage of it.
I'm lucky to have a massage table with a face-hole at one end that makes it possible to breath through it while lying on the bed face down. Today I boiled a big pot of water and put it on the floor right under the massage table, exactly beneath the area where the hole is located, and I lied on the table with my face inside the hole looking down straight into the pot.
The steam that rose from the water warmed up my eyelids and it was more effective in opening the MGs orifices than the dry heat coming out of a rice bag. Also by lying face down instead of face up, gravity worked on my favor.
Next time I do it, I'm thinking about placing a hot plate beneath the pot of water so that I can keep the water boiling while I'm lying face down on the bed. This will increase the amount of steam that raises from the pot and the temperature will be maintained during the whole session.
Another added benefit of this heating method is that the entire face is evenly exposed to the steaming heat.
