I love the quality - it is so luxurious and very well presented and packaged I must say. When I opened the package, there was such a pleasant and calming aroma. You can smell it all the way through, very therapeutic and impressive indeed. After the delivery, I tried it and straight away felt the benefits after just 10mins of use. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I actually felt very good relief just minutes after. I now use the mat daily. It helps me with my migraines, and also my back pain has eased. Overall, I am so happy with the product. I highly recommend it. You have to be consistent with it, and you will see the benefits.”

This lavender microwavable wheat bag makes a wonderful wellbeing gift to let someone know you’re thinking about them. Heat packs are so valuable to people who have aches and pains. The heat helps dilate blood vessels, which in turn will increase the flow of oxygen to muscles. They’re also great for keeping you warm in the winter months.

Review: “Absolutely beautiful product! Shipped so quickly and works great. The fluff on one side is so soft and the heat lasts just long enough! Absolutely wonderful - will definitely be buying more!”

A Himalayan salt lamp is one of those classic wellbeing gifts. Negative salt ions are released when the lamp is heated. These can boost blood flow, improve sleep, and increase levels of serotonin in the brain. As it starts to warm, the colour of the salt lamp changes from pale pink to a dark orangey-red.

Review: “Very pleased with this purchase. One lamp I bought for a Christmas present and one I kept myself. I believe the lamps have health benefits and have certainly helped with my allergies. As a plus, they provide a nice warm glow, which I miss from not having a real fire anymore. They are also safer than using candles.”
