FOOD GRADE GOLDEN FLAXSEED
BUT WHY FLAXSEED INSTEAD OF OTHER GRAINS?
~Whole flaxseed provides a gentle, moist heat which promotes healing.
~Flaxseeds are flower seeds, rather than grains, so they contain 30-40% oil which remains inside the seed to be warmed again and again. Other products lose their ability to retain heat as the moisture cooks our of them over a period of time.
~ When heated, Omni-Spring flaxseed pillows retain half their heat after an hour. Many customers use them under their blankets to keep their toes warm - children love them plus the pillow will still be warm hours later.
~Flaxseed never has the "cooked grain" aroma other grain based products have when heated over and over again.
~The weight of flaxseed is gentle and conforms to your body.
~ Flaxseed pillows may also be chilled in the freezer to soothe fevers or slight inflammations, though they don't get cold enough to provide numbness needed for things like sprains and back injuries.
FABRIC
~ 100% Cotton Fabric: I use quilt grade cotton fabrics, along with flannels and batiks - cotton fabrics set comfortably against the skin and are hypoallergenic
We use many different brands of essential oils. Over time we have found a few favorites but have also discovered the region from where the herbs and spices are harvested along with different distillation methods makes each vendors essential oils unique and different. We are happy to share our favorites in these signature blends.
The natural scent of the organic flaxseed has a clean, crisp, and slightly nutty aroma. Nothing beats the basic natural aroma of unscented flaxseeds!
Unscented is the best choice if you are unsure about which blend to choose. Some migraine sufferers have aromatic triggers and usually have an idea which aromas cause the trigger. If you are purchasing an eye pillow or neck pillow - you can always add a couple of drops of your own favorite essential oil to the inner bags. (If you are purchasing one of the other products - test the essential oil on a paper towel or tissue to see if it is clear or contains color - otherwise you will risk discoloring your pretty pillow fabric 😅)
Essential Oils: Eucalyptus + Lavender + Rosemary + Peppermint and Clove.
Dried Herbs: Lavender buds + Rosemary
Breathe Easy is the favorite choice for migraine sufferers.
Peppermint oil by itself rubbed on the temples and back of neck has been a preferred treatment for the migraine sufferers in our family.
The combination of essential oil along with hot/cold therapy pillows really help loved ones relax and find comfort from not only headaches but other aches and pains as well. Breathe Easy blend may also ease congestion and soothe aches associated with asthma, sinus infections, bronchitis, colds and flu.
