Relieving tension and stress through deep relaxation

Use your lum eye pillow during meditation, to prepare for a restful sleep, to relieve headaches or to soothe puffy and tired eyes suffering from excess screen time. They are also commonly used during the final stage of yoga practice (savasana) as part of restorative relaxation. 

  • You can choose to customise your pillow with UK-grown lavender buds for an ultra-relaxing experience! 
  • Each lum eye pillow is filled with UK-grown linseeds - chosen for their silky texture and their ability to fit the contours of your face.
  • The weight of each eye pillow has been carefully chosen to provide the best balance of soothing pressure and to block out unwanted light.
  • This eye pillow can be used for hot or cold therapy - either through gently warming for 20 seconds in a microwave, or storing in a fridge and using as needed.

How to use

Use warm or cold to relax tired eyes, to alleviate headaches, or before bed to help prepare for a restful sleep. 
Here are some instructions if using them for the first time:

  3. Remove from the microwave and apply over the eye and forehead area.

Inspired by the Red Squirrel

Red squirrels are an iconic Scottish animal, with their flashes of red among the treetops an exciting sight to see in the Scottish countryside. Up until the late 1800s, red squirrels were the only squirrel species in the UK, but following the introduction of grey squirrels from North America, and the continued fracturing of their forest habitat, they are now threatened with extinction within a few decades.
