Aquarian Bath Organic Pillow

Overall Rating: 5 Stars

About:

“This flaxseed microwave pillow was made with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified Organic cotton fabric and contains 100% Certified Organic Herbs. You can have our pillow unscented or scented with certified Organic herbs. Choose unscented or other herb options from the drop down menu. The pillow fabric is a light but durable decor weight cotton by Harmony Art. The pillow can be used hot or cold on the neck, head or back. Store them in the freezer for using cold, or heat them in the microwave for sustained moist heat and heavenly herbal aroma (or unscented if you prefer). This pillow is approximately 20 inches long by 4.75 inches wide and contain certified Organic flax and Organic aromatic herbs weighing over 1.6 pounds. Aquarian Bath’s pillows are free form like bean bags so that they can be used as heating pads anywhere on the body, not just the neck. You can shape it any way you like to fit it most comfortable. The loose form feels great on an aching sacrum when positioned between it and a recliner, or take it to bed hot to warm your feet on a cold night. These pillows are packaged in clear biodegradable cellophane bags with a twist tie.
At Aquarian Bath we are transitioning to Hemp and Organic Cotton fabrics. They are bit more expensive, but it is worth the higher price. Look for more Organic fabrics coming soon. Here are some features of Organic Cotton:~ Cotton grown with non-GMO seeds means seed freedom for farmers in an industry plagued by suicides associated with GMO seed crops http://www.itvs.org/films/bitter-seeds
~ Cotton is grown in Organic soil with no pesticide sprays
~ Warp fibers stabilized using double plying or non-toxic cornstarch
~ Safe peroxide is used for whitening – no bleach
~ No carcinogenic formaldehyde used in processing
~ Low impact fiber reactive dying process or natural pigmenting with no heavy metals such as lead.”

My Thoughts:

I have reviewed several Aquarian Bath products in the past and enjoyed each of them. While their skin and body care products are not entirely organic, this pillow contains all certified organic herbs.

At the end of most training days, I’m whooped. On a given day, I typically run and lift weights for up to three (sometimes more) hours total. Thus, I really enjoy the time at the end of the day that I have to kick my feet up and relax. This pillow has been an excellent and immensely pleasurable part of that routine. Though I try to limit microwave usage, the packaging on the pillow recommended the microwave to heat up the pillow. You can still smell the herbs in the pillow without heating it up, but the heat takes the soothing to whole other level.

This product is so unique, so high quality and so perfect for the hard working athlete or fitness buff. Quite frankly, this pillow could suite anyone (even those that aren’t very active–though I’d encourage you to get active ;), as it is a great way to pamper yourself a bit and take in the therapeutic benefits.

I highly recommend this pillow. I also think it would make an amazing gift. You could get a friend or family member started with using organic skin & body care products–which is a great thing!
