In today's hectic world, we could all use a bit more relaxation. That's where Manitoulin Farmstead lavender eye pillows come in – they're not just comfy, they're backed by science. Let's break it down and see how they can help you chill out.

The Vagus Nerve and Weighted Pressure

Ever heard of the vagus nerve? It's like your body's built-in relaxation switch. Lavender eye pillows use weighted pressure to stimulate this nerve. Research shows that this gentle pressure can slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and reduce stress hormones like cortisol.

Now, let's talk about that lovely lavender scent. It's not just pleasant; it's scientifically soothing. Breathing in lavender's aroma triggers your brain to release feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These guys help you feel calm and content. Combine this with the vagus nerve stimulation, and you've got a powerful relaxation combo.
