🌎 ECO MATERIALS 🌎 Another reason I love & recommend @pranamat! . In the world of acupressure massage mats, not all are created equal. If I am going to recommend a product to my patients, not only do I want it to work well, but I want to feel good about how it’s made too. . With Pranamat, I can relax knowing all the materials are natural, ethically sourced, and made using energy from renewable sources. . What’s inside? . ✅ COCONUT FIBER – A zero-waste material, the coconut fiber is sourced locally as a by-product from the food industry. Used as a supportive filler, it is naturally resistant to dust, mold, and odor. ✅ NATURAL COTTON – The cotton cover provides a breathable protective layer. ✅ PURE LINEN – Produced using natural, hypoallergenic dyes, the sustainable linen covers are available in a variety of beautiful colors. ✅ HIPS PLASTIC – Pranamat’s signature lotus flowers are made from recyclable plastic. In fact, HIPS plastic is the greenest plastic in existence with 43% fewer carbon emissions, 42% less water than other types of plastic, & 30% less energy needed. . The attention to detail doesn’t stop there. Pranamat has also developed a special heat adhesion technology to attach the lotus flowers so there’s no need to worry about exposure to toxic glues, acetone, or chemical fumes. . With all these qualities, it’s no wonder Pranamat was awarded the STANDARD 100 certificate by OEKO-TEX® which guarantees it is free of harmful substances & safe for intensive skin contact. .

Who knew 15 minutes on this mat could change my whole day? 😊 As a small business owner & caregiver, I’m on the go - bending, twisting, & lifting all day. I have loads of opportunities to create pain & stress in my body but not a lot to get rid of them. When I’m short on time and long on stress & pain, I need something quick & reliable. As an acupuncturist, it’s only natural I would love acupressure. And one of my favorite methods of acupressure is my Pranamat Massage Set. Just 15 short minutes on the mat encourages my body to relax, release endorphins, reduce inflammation, & improve circulation. If you’re like me & your body needs some TLC, try one of my 3 favorite ways to use Pranamat: 💚 BACK MASSAGE Start by placing your Pranamat on a flat surface (the bed, sofa, or the floor). Slowly lie down so that the pillow sits under your head, neck & shoulders while the mat covers your whole back. Need extra attention on the lumbar? Position the pillow on top of the mat and under the curve of your back. Not ready for bare skin on the massage lotuses? Wear a thin t-shirt during your massage. 💚 HEAD & NECK MASSAGE Suffering from headache or neck tension? Place the Pranamat Pillow or Pranamat Moon under the nape of your neck so that the Pillow’s lower part reaches the top of the shoulder area. Lie down slowly. Take a few calm, deep breaths while you acclimate to the massage lotuses. 💚 LEG MASSAGE Tired, achy legs? This time, position the mat underneath the legs. Feel free to add the pillow underneath the knees to enhance contact with the massage lotuses. Ready to give it a try?

Why Are Those Ear Seeds Hurting My Ears? 😫 If you’ve ever tried ear seeds, you may have noticed some tenderness at a few of the acupressure points & wondered if it was normal. Absolutely! The good news is that not every point will feel tender. And a point that is tender today may not feel tender the next time you place a seed there. Why does that happen? Your ear represents a microsystem of the entire body. If there is pain or disharmony in one area of the body, the corresponding point on your ear may feel tender or sensitive. But don’t take them off just yet…the tenderness is a sign that your point is active. As the discomfort in your body begins to subside, so will the tenderness at the acupressure point in the ear. Pretty cool, huh? 😎 PRO TIP: If you’re a side sleeper & the tenderness interrupts your sleep, feel free to remove the ear seeds at bedtime & replace with a fresh set in the morning. You will still get great results!
