About Herbies
Herbies were created by a Texas Herbalist for people of all ages to enjoy. She developed an innovative weighted herbal plushie design that offers both warm and cold therapy options.
Benefits/Instructions:
- For warm therapy: Remove the accessories. Place the Herbie in the microwave and heat for 30-60 seconds for instant warmth (Be careful not to overheat your Herbie).
- For cool therapy: Simply keep your Herbie in the freezer and place on the skin as needed for a nice cooling effect.
- For aromatherapy: No need to heat your Herbie, you can just squeeze it to release the aromatherapy benefits of the lavender buds that are inside. For added benefit, heat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before using.
- For sensory therapy: Herbies are amazing for sensory therapy. They are soft and have various textures. The consistent pressure can help improve focus and concentration, especially in individuals with ADHD or sensory processing disorders.
- For weighted therapy: All herbies weigh about 1.8 pounds. The gentle pressure can activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the mind and reduce anxiety. By promoting relaxation, weighted plushies can help individuals fall asleep faster and achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
- Portability: Herbies are designed for portability and ease of use, making them an ideal companion for on-the-go comfort. Whether placed in a backpack, suitcase, or enjoyed at home, Herbies offer convenient access to soothing relief wherever you are. Their compact and versatile design ensures that you can easily carry them for moments of relaxation and comfort.
- Summary: Weighted plushies work by providing deep pressure stimulation, sensory regulation, temperature therapy, and aromatherapy benefits. These features combine to offer a comforting and therapeutic experience for individuals of all ages.
