BON Pillow - Green

ABOUT BON ACUPRESSURE PILLOW ↡ Ergonomically designed for use alone or with the BON Mat. The foam on our acupressure pillow has a perfect consistency for use on the neck, lumbar, spine, under the feet, or on any curved area of the body. Forget what muscle aches and pain feel like and take relaxation to a whole new level! BedOfNails provides acupressure to help the body release oxytocin and endorphins while activating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. It is used and may help to alleviate a whole host of issues, including neck and back pain, sore muscles, tension, daily stress and poor circulation. The mystical bed of nails originated over 1000 years ago and was used for meditation and healing. We have created a modern, ergonomically designed version of that ancient technology with a Swedish twist to model those same deep healing effects. Don't be alarmed from the look of these pointy spikes. They do not penetrate the skin. Due to thousands of nails, even though prickly at first, the sensation becomes after a minute or so rather blissful when pain and stress melts away. With more nails, the original BedOfNails® is more comfortable to use while giving you more treatment. BedOfNails® is the original brand that started the global acupressure mat movement and is designed with more nails than most other similar brands. More nails means your weight is distributed more evenly, which not only makes it more comfortable, but also provides a more effective treatment triggering more acupressure points. WHAT HAPPENS AND HOW IT FEELS ↡ The pressure of the rounded spikes against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which can provide a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which may make you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). You may feel the effects instantly - instant pain relief, instant calm - and you may even fall asleep! In less than 20 minutes each day, you may restore a sense of freedom to your body. Get back to what you love doing, like playing with your kids or enjoying your favorite activities, without having to worry about pain or being tired.
