Eye Care Pillows

The planet friendly heat compress that will leave your eyes happier than ever. Using an Eye Care Pillow on your eyes will improve your tear layer quality and relieve eye strain. Say “hello” to happy, healthy eyes.

 

Why does heat work? Gentle heat dilates your blood vessels which means more blood flow, so more oxygen coming in and toxins going out.  Heat also opens up special glands on your upper and lower eyelid margins,  called  Meibomian glands. These glands produce oil for your eye’s tear layer. Better eye lubrication means less tired, dry eyes and less redness.

How to use

You can warm your Eye Care Pillow in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time, until it’s warm to the touch. It should be warm, not hot.

Now lie back and place the Eye Care Pillow on your eyes for 4-6 minutes while keeping your eyes closed. It is recommended that you use your Eye Care Pillow at least once a day. You will start to feel the improvement in eye comfort within seven days. Your Eye Care Pillow can be used many times, but replace it when the fabric becomes worn.

Hint: You can add a drop of essential oil such as lavender oil to your Eye Care Pillow to get all the added benefits of aromatherapy. Make sure that the essential oil is not directly on your skin, but on the side facing up.

Did you know

The weight of an Eye Care Pillow on your eyes, stimulates the cardio-ocular reflect via the vagus nerve, which lowers your blood pressure and slows your heart rate down. Just the right way to end your day: calm, happy and content.

 

Planet friendly eye care

Every time you use an Eye Care Pillow instead of using eye drops, you are saving the environment from one more plastic bottle. This is not to say that eye drops should not be used, but why not do your bit by having naturally healthier eyes and reducing plastic waste? That sounds like a win-win deal, doesn’t it?

Eye Care Pillows are made from 100% cotton and dry rice, all of which are biodegradable. It is packaged in recyclable paper packaging with a thin see through section, so you can choose your favourite fabric design. Please discard your old Eye Care Pillow into your compost heap when you are done with it.
