1. Stress & Anxiety Relief

• The gentle pressure on the eyes and forehead triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation.
• Lavender-scented eye pillows can enhance this effect through aromatherapy, reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels.

2. Dark Circles & Puffy Eyes

• A cool eye pillow (store in the fridge for 30 mins) can reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels, which helps diminish under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
• Some pillows are infused with rose or green tea extracts for added skin benefits.

3. Sinus Relief

• Warm the pillow slightly (microwave for 10–15 seconds) to loosen mucus, relieve sinus pressure, and ease headaches.
• Herbal fillings like eucalyptus or peppermint can help clear nasal passages.

4. Improved Blood Circulation

• Warm compresses from an eye pillow can dilate blood vessels, encouraging better blood flow around the eyes.
• Better circulation helps with cellular regeneration, reducing signs of fatigue and supporting eye health.
  

HOT & COLD THERAPY:

• Cold: For puffiness, dark circles, headaches.
• Warm: For sinus relief, dry eyes, and relaxation.

• Place the eye pillow over your eyes while lying down to sleep for quick and peaceful sleep.
  
• Use an eye pillow in restorative yoga or at the end of your yoga practice during Shavasana or Yoga Nidra.
