Chances are you've probably heard about weighted blankets. They've been all the rage lately and cropping up everywhere, from home goods stores to the Today Show to psychological journals and even parenting websites. But what are the benefits of weighted blankets, and what is the science that goes into Huggaroo's best weighted blanket for anxiety? Can a weighted blanket really be a reliable way to reduce anxiety symptoms in adults and children?

You may be surprised to hear the answer is yes. More than just a trendy fad, Huggaroo's weighted blankets really do affect the mind and body to ease anxiety symptoms. To summarize it simply, these blankets interact with the body's natural instincts to make you feel safe and protected. The gentle pressure of Huggaroo's weighted blanket acts just like a hug, signaling to your body that it's time to relax because you are with loved ones and out of danger. This triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, natural chemicals which are responsible for happiness and calming the mind. The sensation also tells the body to lower its levels of stress hormones. The two effects work together to break anxious moods and reduce stress naturally, with the added bonus of warmth and soft comfort thanks to Huggaroo's loving design.
