Hi. Just wondeted has anyone tried the weighted blankets which are supposed to help with calming and relaxtion.Used for may different things including anxiety. I have also seen a bracelet that releases essential oils.Anyone had any success with these too???
Hi Joanne,
I’d be interested to see if anyone’s had any success with these as well and for what kind of anxiety and the severity of it.
Personally I have quite a heavy blanket and have found it so comforting that those flimsy light weight sheets etc.
Sorry I’m not much help here!
thanks for you response. Hopefully someone has tried them. They are expensive but if they work they will be worth every penny!!
While I have no tried them, I have friends who have and swear by them. I am hoping to get one for myself once I can afford to do so. Right now I use a rice bag I heat up and the weight of that often helps. So I wonder if a full body weight will.
I've been wondering this too. I'd like to get one but they're sadly much too expensive for me. I make do with piling two quilts and a couple of pillows on me. As to whether a weighted blanket works... From what I've read, it depends on the person. The weight is calming for some people but others feel trapped under the weight.
Don't know about bracelets that release essential oils. I suppose scents can help to calm you down. I have a Vicks inhaler stick that I use when I'm outside and starting to feel nervous. I know that thing is supposed to be for nasal congestion, but I do like the smell.
Hi all. I have emailed a company called senso rex to find out exactly what weight I need for the gravity blanket. I'm going to give it a go....got some money for xmas. Will keep you all posted on how i get on. Fingets vrossed!!@
