We need solutions that soothe joints or painful muscles. Dr Mercola Rheumatoid Arthritis Diet. Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis can be difficult sometimes you need help stretching with deep tissue tools and finding relief when sleeping with the Mosaic weighted blanket.

I am seeing a ton of rave reviews regarding these Mosaic blankets. I needed to dig deeper and I discovered that Mosaics are designed to be 8-12% of your body weight. We’re referring to the type of sensory hacks that give calm to arthritis, anxiety, and also people that experience clinical PTSD. The idea is to give the feeling of being hugged or held to you. So all the warm and fuzzy feelings you get from this sort of input is replicated through an weighted blanket. Most of the times you experience cramping or pain in the joints or muscle it is because you are unable to relax or stretch that muscle or joint.

This blanket, provides the experience of being hugged tight, which is as soothing regardless of your age.

Anyone who has experienced this type of distress and sought relief understands how frustrating it can be.

So at about $150 for the blanket that could last years and help alleviate pain and allow me to sleep it is a no brainer.

But not all are created and just a few are made for breathability. Like any great idea, tons of brands pop up to offer inferior products .

Fortunately Mosaic is based here in Austin, TX and they fabricate here as well. I’ve been visiting a few reviews based on the products. The Mosaic blanket seems to be among the most relevant early adapter into the fashion and we absolutely love the quality and variety they offer.

I recently went to Minnesota to get a wedding and the 30 degree weather made me wish I had my Mosaic blanket with me. Might have weighed my carry-on down a little too much on thought.

I’ve been using mine with my Muse headband and the Gaiam roller. I’ll tell you stretching my problem areas out has been a huge benefit.

So, I’m seeing a ton of rave reviews regarding these Mosaic weighted blankets. I had to dig deeper and I found out that Mosaics are specially designed to be 8-12% of your body weight. We’re referring to the same type of low-tech sensory hacks that give calm to those that experience clinical PTSD, anxiety, and within the spectrum of autism. Essentially, the idea is to give you the feeling of being hugged or held. So all the warm and fuzzy feelings you get from this type of sensory input is replicated through an evenly distributed weighted blanket. Natural chemicals in our body regulate our mood and overall sense of calm by helping us to settle down from stressful or anxious situations, relax faster and sleep deeper eventually. Sounds like it’s worth a shot to me, so I’m giving it a shot for this holiday season and bought myself one.

When under the blanket, you experience that great feeling of being hugged, cuddled or swaddled which is as soothing for adults as it is for children.

 

Undoubtedly, the nostalgia of being a child plays its part and for this reason I’d personally pay unreasonable amounts. But at about $150 for the blanket that can last years and help me sleep. I’m in.

But beware, not all are created equally and only a few are designed for breathability. Like any good idea, tons of brands pop up to offer inferior products for a great idea.
