Organic Herbal Neck Pillows from Herbs and Aloha
|
Organic peppermint, lavender and mamaki, a traditional
Hawaiian medicinal,
make this thermal neck pillow a therapy for the soul
as well as sore necks and shoulders.
Other information:
An all-natural, luxurious, yet therapeutic pillow,
u-shaped and slightly under-stuffed to conform to the
neck for maximum contact.
Separately covered with 100% cotton thermal knit,
a strip of 100% cotton Hawaiian fabric, and an Herbs
and Aloha muslin tag. The filled insert can be removed
and the thermal knit cover can be washed then dried
in a dryer. The covers are prewashed and preshrunk.
Filled with an insert made of 100% cotton muslin,
which is hand stuffed with an individually hand blended,
all organic fill of flaxseed, peppermint, lavender
blossoms, and mamaki leaves. No oils or fixatives are used.
Mamaki is a traditional Hawaiian medicinal plant,
traditionally drunk as a tea for both physical and
spiritual healing. Mamaki is a particular species
of non-stinging nettles naturally found and currently
grown only in Hawaii.
Approximately 2 pounds in weight.
Provided in 100% cotton fabrics in three colors:
natural organic cotton thermal knit, sky blue
thermal knit cotton,
and navy blue thermal knit cotton, with
varying Hawaiian print broadcloth and an Herbs and
Aloha muslin tag sewn on each.
Packaged for freshness in 9" x 12" resealable plastic bags.
To use neck pillows as hot packs heat for one and a
half minutes in an 1100 watt microwave oven. Adjust
heating times according to wattage of the microwave.
Increase time for lower wattage ovens; decrease time
for higher wattage ovens.
The pillows will retain heat for about 30 minutes,
depending on room temperature, and whether other
insulating material (such as blankets or other pillows)
is around the neck pillow.
Heated pillows feel cozy and comforting, smell
wonderful, ease tense muscles and can relieve
headache or neck ache.
Heat greatly increases the release of the fragrances
of the scented pillow. The peppermint provides a
mentholating effect, opening the pores of the skin
and helping to clear sinus passages. Lavender is
traditionally known for its soothing qualities.
Mamaki, described above, is a traditional Hawaiian
medicinal, and a low mellow note in the fragrance.
To use neck pillows as cold packs place neck
pillow in the freezer for a half hour or more.
Flax seeds don't stick to each other when frozen,
so the pillow will be freezing cold, but still
flexible and able to conform to your neck,
forehead and temples, or crown of your head.
(Or anywhere else you need a cold pack.)
For long term storage, store pillow in freezer
if possible. For general storage, the colder the
temperature and the less air circulation, the better.
Keeping the pillow in its resealable plastic bag will
help to keep it fresh. Air oxidizes the herbs.
Allow pillow to cool thoroughly before replacing in
sealed plastic bag.
