The Effectiveness Of Weighted Blankets To Reduce Stress And Anxiety Levels

It is common to feel stressed, alone, and anxious in the daily routine. Although there are many medicines to improve this feeling, there are also other chemical-free alternatives that can help control those emotions. One highlight is the use of weighted blankets that utilizes the power of weight to simulate a feeling of being hugged and helps users to relax or simply provide extra comfort.

The Ms. Bliss Weighted Blanket is one of the best-reviewed products of this type and comes in two formats: with or without aromatherapy. The one with aromatherapy has Lavender and Peppermint scents which are known for their calming properties.

Another exciting feature is that the Ms. Bliss is the only weighted blanket that can be put in either the microwave or the freezer. Temperature changes can also help relieve tension as the uniformly distributed bead filling provides the right amount of weight to keep it warm or cool.

It is made of a premium soft and plush shell and an inner filling of fine-grade and ultra-comfortable unscented grains. This combination was designed carefully to provide the best feelings and is also suitable for sore spots and joints.

To pick a blanket size, it is ideal to think that they should be 10% of your body weight, but lots of adults/kids enjoy anything between 8-20% of their weight. Studies have also shown that weighted blankets can be a complementary therapy for insomnia, sleep, or anxiety issues common in autistic people.
