An eye pillow carries with it many more benefits than many people may realize. They have long been regarded as luxurious treatments for everything from dark under eye circles to puffy eyes to relieving stress, but the real magic lies in how the little cushions work. There are many different fillings that can be put into them, some of them being gels, water, small beads, and more. Organic eye pillows have an added bonus with them though, and it is more than just being environmentally friendly.
An organic eye pillow might be filled with organic cotton or purified water, but the new sensation is a filling of hulls either buckwheat hulls or millet hulls. Another very popular organic filling is seeds, usually flax seed. The Pillow Company offers these, and the quality is top of the line. The unique shape of the flax seed allows the little bag to fit snugly around the curves of the face, which means that key acupressure points in the eye area are gently pressed. Of course, another important function of these little cushions is to eliminate visual stimuli so that the person can relax and self soothe appropriately.
Many people also use them to help alleviate migraines, tension headaches, and stress headaches. The light weight of the flax seed allows the person to instantly feel relaxed and completely at ease. Calming the users nerves and soothing the facial acupressure points in the area, an eye pillow also seems to help insomniacs by way of being a natural remedy as an alternative to sleep inducing drugs. The outside casings of the little cushions also vary in material and makeup; some are silicone, plastic, cotton, polyester, and others are more luxurious. For example, The Pillow Company offers their flax seed eye pillow in silk casing with a zipper on it that is also microwave safe. Some days might call for a cool compress over the eyes, and other days may need a warm one instead. The versatility of the companys product is just one of the factors that make it such a popular item.
The zippered casing allows users to remove the filling to wash the casing when needed. Also, there are many people that like to add herbs or essential oils to the eye pillow for added rejuvenation and relaxation. Aromatherapy administration is an important part of using one of these little bags, and The Pillow Company offers five different herbs to increase the benefits to users. From pain relief and relaxation to treating insomnia, these five herbs are key to a complete treatment.
Probably the most popular herb to add is lavender, which has a restorative, relaxing, and calming effect. Chamomile is well known for its stress reducing effects and its sedative like properties. Marjoram is a natural remedy for headaches, as it has many pain reducing properties. Fennel is used as an eye sight restorative, and is said to have a reviving effect on the eyes. The final common herb that is added to eye pillows is peppermint, which wards of mental fatigue, opens the sinuses, and has an uplifting effect as well.
