What’s in the Bee Calm Stress Relief Set?

The Bee Calm set contains two tools to help you manage stress, headaches, and fatigue.

Lavender Eye Pillow. An eye pillow is used to block out light and help the body to rest. Our Backyard Bees eye pillows are made with real lavender flower buds; the scent is known to calm an anxious mind. The pillow is not heavy, but the gentle weight contributes to a feeling of safety and calm.
Backyard Bees Peppermint Pine Headache Salve – applying a little of this salve to the temples and/or at the base of the neck help to reduce the severity of a headache, and may even make it go away completely. Pine needles are a natural analgesic!

Our Backyard Bees pillows are made with salvaged fabric. The pillow cases are removable for easy washing.

Natural Stress Relief

In this bzz-y world, we all have to adapt to stressors, or things that force our body to react. Even honey bees can get stressed – the heat, the crowds, the competition. Our Bee Calm duo is perfect to help you recover from an especially rough day, without any medicine.

Our lavender eye pillows are filled with organic flax seed and lavender buds. They are great for yoga, meditation, and helping you get that power nap! Closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths is an excellent way to combat stress.

Other stress relief ideas include getting adequate sleep, proper hydration, and getting outside for a little bit of exercise!

Power Naps

You’ve heard the term ‘power nap’, right? A power nap is a short rest – experts say 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time – that reduces fatigue and reenergizes you.

Eye pillows can help you get into ‘power nap mode’ efficiently by blocking out incoming stimuli. The Queen takes a power nap around 3:00 – it helps! Try it!

Green Gift Ideas

If you’re considering our Bee Calm Duo for someone as a gift, you may also want to think about our Lavender Neck Pillows. Similarly made with lavender flower buds and flax seed, these are often heated to provide muscle relaxation for tense and tight muscles.

Our Backyard Bees Pink Grapefruit and Thyme Foot Soak is another idea for a sweet and thoughtful self-care item. A foot soak is a fantastic way to rest at the end of the day.
