Effect of therapy blankets
Therapy blankets, with their filled weight, create a sense of heaviness that is noticeable when placed on the body, leading to relaxation. The deep pressure that results conveys the same signal to the brain as a loving hug.
The blankets weigh up to 12 kg and can be individually selected according to body weight and personal preference.
With appropriate weight, the release of the happiness hormone serotonin and the sleep hormone melatonin is promoted, while the cortisol level (the so-called stress hormone) is simultaneously reduced.
The result is a euphoric feeling of complete relaxation of the body and nervous system.
The weight not only positively affects sleep by enabling deep sleep phases to be reached more quickly, but also helps with relaxing on the couch, reading, and watching TV. Adequate recovery of the body and mind, achieved through improved sleep quality and intense relaxation, undoubtedly influences health and professional life.
Using the blanket can reduce stress levels, solve sleep problems, and increase productivity. Calmness and balance replace irritability and inner restlessness.
