The outer pillow case is made from 100% SA cotton Shweshwe fabric and is designed to be removable and washable (cold wash, warm iron, do not bleach/tumble dry/ dry clean.)

The inner pillow is made from cotton seed cloth and is filled with natural flaxseed which has been lightly scented with pure lavender essence oil. The inner pillow should not be washed.

Eye pillows are placed over your eyes and are commonly used during restorative yoga, meditation, shavasana and yoga nidra.  They are known for supporting relaxation and calming the mind, as well as reducing visual distractions.

Eye pillows are said to balance our nervous system and stimulate our vagus nerve which triggers deep relaxation.  Eye pillows are also very effective for insomnia and for reducing anxiety.
