Eye pillows

Do get pain around your eyes during a migraine attack?  Or even a tension headache?  I sure do, which is why I’ve used an eye pillow for the last few years.  I’ve had two of them, and I’ve researched a lot more than that.

An eye pillow has a lot of advantages.  It blocks out the light, it’s cool (you can even cool it more in the freezer), it provides a gentle pressure, and some even provide gentle aromatherapy (and/or aromachology – see the aromatherapy/aromachology article).  I like the silk eye pillows and – you can read more about what I like in the eye pillow article.

I recently updated our page on eye pillows, and I found some interesting new treasures.  For example, there’s this Hugger Mugger Silk Eye Bag with Neck Pillow. It comes not only with an eye pillow with flax but a neck pillow with buckwheat hulls.  I’m a fan of buckwheat hull pillows – once again, they are cool and can be cooled more in the freezer.  This pillow provides neck support, and will contour to the shape of your neck.  And, of course, using the both together will cool down two sides of your head.  There are a few other suggestions in the article.

Anyway, I recommend you read a little about eye pillows and try one out if you haven’t before.  Make sure you get one you like, and it will serve you well for a long time.
