Anxiety Disorder is a term used to describe a broad range of different anxiety-producing issues. We all might have experienced anxiety from time to time, but it is classified as a disorder when it continues over months, or years, either consistently or with many episodes.
If you wrap yourself in my weighted blanket at the onset of a panic attack, irritability, or a lack of concentration it will help you feel a sense of security and well being.
Anxiety can leave you feeling physically and mentally exhausted, so the weighted blanket can assist you in falling asleep which can be a struggle for those that have anxiety issues.
The weight in the blanket stimulates the production of serotonin which is converted to melatonin which is the hormone that tells the body to sleep. Serotonin suppresses feelings of unease and will boost your mood while the melatonin assists with feeling tired and ready to fall asleep.

Fibromyalgia is a medical disorder characterized by chronic pain, muscle and joint stiffness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
Because there is no single known cause as of yet, reducing
symptoms is presently the treatment. There are stress-related disorders that can accompany Fibromyalgia, leaving an individual with anxiety and depression. Muscle pain and spasms, lack of concentration, and insomnia are just some of the symptoms a person can experience. Besides pain medication, minimizing the symptoms is the main treatment. The Weighted Blankets can help people with relieving the symptoms of stress, anxiety and insomnia by assisting with the natural production of Melatonin by the weight reaching the deep pressure touch receptors throughout the body.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes five disorders under the category of pervasive development disorders, they include:
1. Autism
2. Rett Syndrome
3. Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
4. Asperger Syndrome
5. Pervasive Development Disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).
Weighted therapy blankets allow for deep pressure touch stimulation, which produces serotonin thought to be influential on mood, sleep, learning, appetite and memory.

At bedtime, cover your child with one of my weighted blanket to once again help the production of serotonin, which will lead to the production of melatonin; which is the hormone that helps us get a peaceful night's sleep.

While the child is awake, you can try using a weighted lap pad or weighted neck wrap on their shoulders. The deep pressure touch stimulation brought about by the weighted product will produce serotonin in the child, which is a hormone that will help to calm them and produce a happier more grounded state of mind.

A weighted blanket can save you money as compared to other therapies, and there are no side effects. Weighted blankets are often eligible for reimbursement under insurance plans.

Alzheimer’s disease
Most common in people over 65 years old, the dementia can cause confusion and stress.
Since it is currently incurable, as caregivers we can assist our loved ones by helping them feel comfortable and secure.
Giving a loved one a Weighted Blanket provides a comforting feeling of being held or getting a hug.
Insomnia can become an issue, only sleeping for one or two hours during the night then waking up and wander around the house.
Weighted Blankets give deep pressure touch stimulation which may assist with being able to get a full night’s rest for the individual and give a peace of mind for caregivers.

Weighted Blanket formulas are recommended to be 10% of the body weight plus 1-2 pounds for children. Adults can vary depending on weight and comfort.

Lap pads, blankets fidgets and sensory pads are all hand made and sized therefore there can have slight variances.

All weighted products are filled with non toxic commercial grade polypellets.

I usually have ready-made blankets in stock, but can vary with rush seasons like Christmas. I do custom made blankets to order for those that want something special.

A person with ADHD/ADD can’t stay focused on the task at hand and it can cause grades at school to drop below average. During the day a Weighted Lap Pad can help with hyperactivity and disorganization through the soothing effects of pressure on their laps. Having a Weighted Lap Pad would allow you to discretely ease their disturbances during the school day with the relaxing deep pressure touch stimulation that customized weight weighted lap pad can produce.

Weighted blankets work by reaching the deep pressure touch receptors throughout the body. Deep pressure touch helps the body relax just like a good hug, weighted blankets help us feel secure, grounded, and safe.
