A mini pillow you'll love to hug as you unwind into your new Sàntú spa-inspired sleep routine with the Tribal Marks' Aromatherapy Lavender Mint Eye Pillow.
Ready to say goodbye to low energy, headaches, stress, and high blood pressure related symptoms? Our trend-setting Ankara wax print pillow offers a multi-faceted solution to enhance sleep quality and relaxation. It combines acupressure tension relief, light blocking, and aromatherapy, with potential neurological signaling benefits for a soothing, calming experience.
The eye pillow is designed with an inner pillow, and removable, washable outer pillow for prolonged use. It is filled with flaxseeds; sprinkles of magnesium crystals; lavender buds, and drops of lavender and peppermint distillates to help send you into that sweet Sàntú state.
Use it as is, or heat it or cool it. See below for more ways to understand your eye pillow.
BENEFITS:
-
Acupressure Relief: The light weight of flax seeds and magnesium crystals provides gentle acupressure, targeting tension points in the forehead, cheekbones, temples, neck, and shoulders.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Flaxseeds have the unique ability to retain heat or cold, making them ideal for use as a warm or cold compress. Warming the eye pillow can soothe tired eyes, while cooling it can help reduce puffiness. Wrap in plastic bag to put in freezer.
Lavender Power: Emerging evidence continues to support lavender oil's potential as a medicament for neurological disorders, demonstrating anxiolytic, mood stabilizing, sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsive, and neuroprotective properties in both animal and human studies. Crush the pillow to reactivate and release the lavender buds aroma. You may also add a couple of lavender essential oil drops to the inner pillow.
Neurological Signaling: The applied pressure on the eyes may activate the oculocardiac reflex, affecting the vagus nerve, influencing a neurological signal to the brain. This mechanism potentially contributes to the overall relaxation response.
Light Blocking: Shields the eyes from glaring light and visual stimuli, facilitating a darkened environment for relaxation.
Mental Calming: Beyond light blocking and acupressure, the lavender eye pillow promotes mental calmness, helping the mind unwind and find rest.
Blood Pressure Support: The relaxation induced by the lavender eye pillow may contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels, promoting overall cardiovascular well-being. If you have a low blood pressure diagnosis, please consult your physician before use.
Health Condition Relief: Lavender pillows are known to alleviate various conditions such as headaches, migraines, and stress-related discomfort, providing a holistic approach to well-being.
DESIGNER'S NOTE:
Creating the Ankara Aromatherapy Lavender Eye Pillow was quite the convergent collision.
I was simply looking to solve another problem the Tribal Marks way. One that addressed health and wellness, and reiterated some of the solutions I was already screaming about. It also needed to feature our Ankara wax print fashion.
After going through the first round of production, I became quite obsessed. I don't usually run short of words but it's just such a good and soothing feeling. Is it that aroma that our tribe raves about, and the way I felt after plopping the little pillow over my eyes, knowing all the goodness and science behind it? Or is it pairing it up with the SheaCrafted Natural Relief Magnesium lotion and waking up feeling like I got hours of my life back? And to think it was just the beginning as I saw it serve others in our community really well.
Oh, the artist and evangelist in me can't wait for you to try this and get hooked. Embrace the natural ingredients ready to pamper and support you in a toxin-free manner.
P.S. Sàntú means “to inspire, revive or renew” in the Nupe language.

ANKARA AROMATHERAPY EYE PILLOW CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Only wash and dry the outer pillow - do not wash the inner pillow.
It is natural for the aroma to fade away over time. Squeeze the pillow all over to reactivate the flower bud aroma. You may also add a drop of lavender and peppermint each unto the inner pillow to add more aromatherapy power over time.
