Do you know the feeling when you just want to relax after a long day - but your thoughts are still spinning and you somehow can't switch off? This is exactly where a small but effective feel-good accessory comes into play: the eye pillow! Whether for relaxation, for better sleep or as a loving gift: a lavender eye pillow gives you real feel-good moments.

‍

What is an eye pillow - and why is it so good for you?

An eye pillow is a small, soft pillow that is gently placed on the closed eyes. It shields light and exerts a light, pleasant pressure on the eye area - which has an incredibly calming effect and can put the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation.

Our sustainable eye pillows are filled with organic linseed and delicately scented organic lavender. While the gentle pressure relaxes the muscles in your face, the natural lavender scent pampers your senses - so you can completely let go and calm down.
‍

Why the filling is so important

The effect of an eye pillow depends very much on its filling. That is why we select our materials with great care:

Linseed:

These small seeds have an amazingly high inherent weight. As a result, the cushion adapts comfortably to the face and creates just the right amount of pressure to relax the eye area. This gentle weighting is reminiscent of techniques from acupressure or shiatsu massage - practices that trigger deep relaxation with targeted pressure.

Lavender:

This fragrant herb is a natural relaxation aid. The scent of real organic lavender has a calming effect on the nervous system and can gently alleviate inner restlessness, stress or problems falling asleep.

In combination with the gentle weight of the cushion, the lavender fragrance unfolds particularly effectively - like a little aromatherapy for at home or on the yoga mat.

Why use an eye pillow?

1. ‍Promote deep relaxation: The gentle pressure on the eye area has a grounding and calming effect on the nervous system and can give you deeply relaxing moments - ideal for meditation, yoga or simply to switch off after a stressful day.
   ‍
2. More inner focus through darkness: by covering your eyes, visual stimuli are gently shielded. This allows your senses to rest better and you can focus on your breath, your body awareness and letting go. Your body associates darkness with relaxation.
   ‍
3. Fall asleep better: Optical light stimuli are gently shielded and the subtle lavender fragrance helps you relax - perfect as a natural sleep aid.
   ‍
4. Companion for yoga and mindfulness: the eye cushion can make a real difference in the final relaxation (shavasana) or during meditation because it helps you to focus completely on your relaxation and arrive in the moment.
   ‍
5. Pleasant, natural fragrance: The gently scented lavender has a relaxing effect and can promote emotional balance.
   ‍
6. Relax the eye area and face: The gentle pressure of the cushion relaxes the area around your eyes and face and acts like a fine freshness boost.
   ‍
7. Relaxation - always and everywhere: The eye pillow fits in every bag and you can take it with you everywhere: to the yoga studio, to the office, on trips and on vacation. It's a portable relaxation guarantee, so to speak :)

Application - it's that simple:

The eye pillow is a real all-rounder when it comes to rest, relaxation and little moments of well-being in everyday life. Whether you need a short break or are practising deep, mindful meditation, it is very easy to use: lie down comfortably and gently place the relaxation cushion on your closed eyes. You can use the cushion at any time to calm and relax your senses.

Here are some wonderful ways in which you can integrate the eye pillow into your everyday life:

• ‍PowerNap
  A short nap of 10-20 minutes can help you recharge your batteries. Simply lie down, put a pillow over your eyes and breathe deeply. The gentle pressure helps you to quickly calm down and regenerate - whether in the office or at home on the couch.
• ‍Shavasanaand yoga
  The cushion works wonders for Shavasana in particular: it darkens your surroundings, relaxes the eye muscles and allows you to sink even deeper into the mat. It is also a real highlight when practicing calm forms of yoga such as yin yoga.
• ‍Meditationand digital breaks
  After a lot of screen time, short breaks are important for the eyes. Whether during a guided meditation or in silence - the eye pillow helps you to switch off.
• ‍Sleepand evening routine
  The darkness under the pillow promotes natural melatonin production - important for healthy sleep. And the best thing is: unlike conventional sleep masks, it gently slips off your face at some point, so you can wake up naturally.
