A heavy, weighted blanket can actually be more comforting and even beneficial to your health than your standard blanket. Weighted blankets are therapeutic blankets that weigh between 5 and 30 pounds. The pressure from the extra weight mimics a therapeutic technique called deep pressure stimulation, which uses firm, controlled pressure to relax the nervous system.
For many people, weighted blankets have become a routine part of stress relief and healthy sleep habits, and for good reasons. Blankets may benefit people with anxiety, autism, and insomnia, among other conditions. Researchers have studied the effectiveness of weighted blankets in alleviating physical and emotional symptoms. Although more research is needed, results have so far indicated there may be benefits for a number of conditions, such as anxiety, autism, stress and insomnia.
In this article, we explore how weighted blankets work, as well as the benefits of using these therapeutic blankets.

A skincare tool that everyone is raving about right now is the Truth Treatments System NRGY Facial Toning Device. It combines Microcurrent Technology and EMS into an easy-to-use, powerful and hand-held facial toning device.
Microcurrent is a non-invasive technique that generates a low-voltage current similar to the natural electrical currents produced in a human body. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is a type of microcurrent that works on a deeper level than traditional devices. The combination of EMS and microcurrent has been shown to be a more potent form of treatment given the synergistic effects of the various technologies working seamlessly in tandem for more noticeable and quicker results.
Truth Treatment Systems’ rechargeable microcurrent and EMS facial device provides an adjustable output of microcurrent pulses delivered through four levels and two modes. It is designed to address several skin concerns, such as temporarily improving circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, visibly firming and tightening skin, re-educating the facial muscles, improving muscle tone and contour, and aiding in plumping deeper lines and wrinkles with continuous use. Results are noticeable and very satisfying.
