What is an eye pillow?

An eye pillow is also called a yoga eye mask or meditation eye pillow. Eye pillows contain an inner pouch filled with dried lavender and natural flaxseed, surrounded by a soft cotton cover. The outer cover is removable and washable, so the eye pillow always stays fresh.

Eye pillows are heavy enough to stay comfortably on your face and provide comfortable pressure. The flaxseed perfectly fills the hollows of your face, allowing the eye pillow to fit snugly against your cheeks. The weight of the flaxseed eye pillow also relaxes the muscles in and around your eyes. It blocks out light, so even your eyebrows are at ease. Add to that the wonderful, soothing lavender scent, and you'll feel completely relaxed.

The lavender scent in the eye pillows also helps with migraines, tension headaches, and depression. Surrender and let go of all the tension!

How do you use an eye pillow?

You choose when to use the pillow. Just before bed, when you get home from work, or simply in the evening on the couch. Perhaps you need a moment of peace after a long meeting. Or perhaps you want to enjoy the final relaxation exercise, Savasana, after an intense yoga session. Even then, an eye pillow can help you completely shut out your surroundings.

Are you comfortable? Place the eye pillow over your eyes so that the shape feels comfortable. Breathe in and out calmly. If you like, you can use a breathing exercise or meditation while doing this. Try to stay there for at least ten minutes and relax.

Do you really want complete relaxation for your entire body? Then consider combining the eye pillow with a nail mat A nail mat pillow can be used for complete relaxation. This combination of pillow and nail mat is often used for headaches and migraines.

Do you suffer from red or tired eyes? Then it can be helpful to cool or warm your eye pillow. You can place eye pillows in the freezer or refrigerator for 10 minutes before use to create a cold compress.

Do you need warmth for your face and eyes? This can be helpful, for example, when you have a headache or migraine. Heat the eye pillows in the microwave for 30 seconds at 900 watts. Be careful: never place eye pillows directly on your eyes if they are still too cold or too hot.

Is the lavender scent of your eye pillow fading? Here's a great tip: drop some fragrance oil onto the inner cushion. It could be lavender again, but you can also choose a different scent to suit your preference. Just be careful not to put too much oil on the cushion.
