BB Weighted Blankets

About

Everything struck me at once in 2012! I went through many sleepless nights when I was dealing with many challenges that year. I knew I could manage my life but my insomnia was getting so bad my sleep was just down to few hours a night.
As a medical doctor, I know how chronic insomnia destroys every cell in the body. I was very tired, lethargic and irritable during the days and counting the hours during the nights. I was hesitant to take any pharmacological remedy because of the side effects and risk of being dependent to them. Besides feeling too tired during the day, I started forgetting basic things.
After some search in medical literature, I decided to try weighted blankets to improve my sleep. The science was explaining its effect as increased melatonin production by its massage effect. I did sew a weighted blanket with using small dry beans. My sleep improved after using it for a few weeks.
I was so happy with my better sleep, I decided to sew a better blanket after a while. First came the selection of a better fabric. I learned that advanced nanotechnology was being used in the textile industry to improve health and wellness. The new fabric emits FIR and clinically shown increased blood flow and oxygen level in the tissues. “Health Fabric”, “Performance Fabric” or “Responsive Textile” were used as the name and it was approved as a medical device & general wellness product by FDA.
I also decided to use special bioceramic beads made with FIR emitting minerals for weight so I can get the best benefit both from FIR energy and the weight. The FIR energy both from the beads & fabric would be the most beneficial with interacting with body during the long sleep hours. Then I turned my personal blanket project to a business plan. It took 3 years to develop and test many samples, adding aromatherapy and application for the patent.
Now we launched our blankets which can be used for insomnia, depression, anxiety, fatigue, autism and ADHD. They are safe for adults and children. We also developed laptop size pads using the same structure, the FIR loaded minerals block the electromagnetic field between electronic devices and the body. The same BB pads are also good for painful joints, inflamed tissues, stiff muscles. They can be used to improve pet’s health too.

As Shelly Ibach says on her recent article, when you get enough sleep you improve the lives of those around you, kindness and sleep are very related. My passion is the same as hers and Adrianna Huffington’s; improve the sleep quality for everyone, including our pets.
