What Is a Buckwheat Eye Pillow?
A buckwheat eye pillow is a small pillow designed to rest gently across the eyes.
Filled with natural buckwheat hulls, these pillows create a soft, weighted pressure that encourages relaxation while blocking out light.
Because buckwheat hulls are naturally breathable, the pillow remains comfortable even during longer meditation sessions.
