Linseeds, or commonly known as Flax are used in our special heat pack for the eyes and are especially good for relief of symptoms such as dry eyes, blepharitis, and MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction) as well as providing general comfort and warmth to the eyes.
The cotton eye mask comes filled with Linseeds which are often recommended to provide relief to common eye conditions such as dry eyes and Blepharitis.
Eye mask heat packs are also known to be effective in the treatment of Meiboman Gland Dysfunction (MGD). MGD causes the eyelid gland secretions to become thick and sticky, which then causes blockages in the gland orifices which can become solid and prevent the natural lubricants of the eye from oozing out. The Meibomian glands run vertically through the upper and lower eyelids and when these are affected it can cause several unpleasent symptoms. The most common would be a girtty sensation or constant feeling that something is stuck in your eye and often there is also a burning sensation or general soreness of the eyelids.
By using a specially designed linseed microwave heat pack on the problem area, the soothing heat generated from the product can stimulate the natural secretions of the eye and provide you with instant comfort.
