Global Market for Baby Disposable Diapers to Reach US$29.0 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

A highly commoditized market, baby diapers is intrinsically a tough category for manufacturers to operate in. But the market confronted its toughest challenge ever, manifested in the form of the recent world economic slowdown. Although baby diapers are necessities and represent baby care products that are not readily compromised by doting parents, the market nevertheless is not recession proof as widely opined. The prolonged world economic recession has taken its toll on the baby disposable diapers market with demand growth decelerating in developing markets and sales eroding in developed markets such as the U women's coats nited States.

Decreases in purchase frequencies, coupled with consumers trading down to branded goods sold at popular-to-moderate price points, has exerted pressure on the market's revenue earning capability. Shrewder use of the product and innovation in absorptive capacity has extended the period between diaper changes, thus leading to a decline in purchase frequencies. Fall in purchase frequencies is also the result of frugal consumer spending triggered by falling disposable spends, reduction in household wealth and rise in unemployment. Additionally, the recession has induced shifts in consumer preferences towards lesser expensive cloth diapers, which further squeezed revenue opportunities in the market.

Growth in baby disposable diapers market post recession primarily hinges onto resurgence in consumer spending habits, and gradual trading up to premium diapers, which can generate higher revenue for market participants. With the recession triggering changes in baby diapering systems, manufacturers across the globe are seeking new ways to stay afloat. Interestingly, manufacturers in developed, mature markets such as the US and Europe are focusing on the premium segment to expand value sales. This is primarily because falling birth rates in these countries leave very little scope for volume sales gains. Innovation ranks high on the charts with leading players like P&G and Kimberly Clark focusing on roping in top-notch designers to develop designer baby diapers. The designer diaper market is thus forecast to emerge as the next battleground in these markets, with diaper R&D shifting from developing super absorbent and safe materials towards aesthetics, and thus developing product concepts for designer diapers.

Key marketing strategies adopted by manufacturers to revitalize the market include adoption of adroit marketing strategies, such as, offering price-to-value benefits, innovating product features and harnessing the power of social media to target modern socially networked parents. Russia, China, Brazil, India, and other developing countries pan out attractive future growth opportunities for manufacturers, and product variables poised to score the highest gains will be convenience and ease of use and disposal.

As stated by the new market research report on baby disposable diapers, Europe continues to remain the largest regional market. Asia-Pacific on the other hand, is the fastest growing regional market. The sheer number of annual births, increase in the number of working women, fast-paced consumer lifestyles, improving economic affluence, rising spends per child, and growing awareness over the importance of hygiene are the primary factors driving robust growth in Asia-Pacific.

Major players in the marketplace include Associated Hygienic Products LLC, First Quality Enterprises, Godrej Consumer Products, Kao Corporation, Kimberly-Clark Corp., Ontex, Procter & Gamble, SCA Hygiene Products, Uni-Charm Corp, among others.

Add a Touch of Black Magic with Laura Ashley

All Hallows' Eve is almost upon us, with the supermarkets full of grinning pumpkins and ghoulish masks, not to mention tooth-janglingly huge bags of sweets with which to tempt the children.

There are better reasons to come over to the dark side than the lure of candy, though - charcoal tones of jet black and deep grey are a spot on trend for AW10, adding a dramatically elegant touch to any interior. Whether featured on large design elements, like curtains, or smaller items, such as light shades or cushions, it's not just the timeless sophistication of monochromatic black and white that will add interest to an interior. Colours from this palette will also add depth to pearly greys or muted metallics, as well as perfectly complementing natural shades of biscuit and ecru - and giving a further punch of drama to the warm berry and deep red tones that make interiors so very enticing in the colder months.

Winter is rich with the promise curling up cosily on a sofa, with the curtains drawn against the night - and whether your women's coats chairs are covered in the sumptuous velvet of the Caitlyn range, or windows hung with Isodore's lush brocade, the Laura Ashley range of fabrics offers plenty of choice for those wanting to create a wickedly beckoning, slightly gothic look.

Experts say that the best rest comes in a room that is sufficiently dark to usher you away to Dreamland, so charcoal elements will not only enhance the look of your bedroom but also assist you in getting the perfect night's sleep - after all, who wouldn't prefer darkness to come by way of the luxe Kimono or Lille wallpapers than in the under-eye smudges of a restless night?

Fears about incorporating darker colours into a room with smaller proportions can also be assuaged with the inclusion of a bold mirror like the Henshaw, framed in sleek black, to add the illusion of space, or easy-to-incorporate home accessories along the lines of or the pinch-pleated silk of the Fenn shade or piles of Vittorio and Nigella cushions.

Hallowe'en may have a magic of its own but these interior elements are more bewitching than witching, more treat than trick. And really, why would you want it any other way?

Richard Maize: On Christmas, Hanukkah - How Do We Decide Which Charity, How Much?

"There are so many worthwhile charities to donate too on Christmas and Hanukkah. Where does one start and one end in their time and efforts in donating to charitable funds," asks Richard Maize.

"First off, you need to recognize that you are a 'giver,'" says Richard Maize. "For me, my wife Rochelle and I have established the Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation, http://www.richardmaizefoundation.com, that was established as a vehicle to give to a wide variety of both local LA and global charities. Our foun women's jackets dation is simply a family foundation with a limited amount of funds."

"Here are the reasons and charities we look at," says Richard Maize.

"Family and friends are involved. The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation would say that almost all charities are worthwhile and for our associates to be involved, the only thing we can do is to support and applaud their efforts. Charities are a selfless job and I am grateful that my friends and family are not only involved financially, many of them are very involved with their time and effort. We just don't say no. For example, this last weekend, the Foundation supported a function for ORT," says Richard Maize.

"The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation are especially supportive of humanitarian causes and charities that are in desperate need of funds if only just to keep their lights on for Christmas and Hanukkah - throughout the year."

Richard Maize adds: "Some are religious oriented. The Jewish Federation, Vista del Mar, YLDI, Chabad of BelAir, JVN, US Committee for Sports in Israel (Maccabiah Games / Jewish Olympics) and many others."

"Among those that are non generic in nature are Cedar Sinai hospital (Board of Governors), feeding the homeless. And USO - it gets no better than supporting our service men and women. And helping those in catastrophe such as in Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake of recent events."

"The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation is mandated by the income the founders make from year to year. There are no grants nor outside contributors," says Richard Maize.

"A minimum of 15% of the yearly gross income is forwarded to the Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation."

"As to why and how much to give to each charity is predicated on what each charity stands for and our belief in it. Also make sure that the majority of actual dollars donated gets through to the cause that you are giving. There are charities that have such big salaries to the executive staff and the politics of the individual charities are of such, that only a very small percentage of the actual dollars given are used toward the cause," says Richard Maize.

"We have no problem with this young man of 26 years of age - Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook - giving a great amount of his sudden wealth to charities," says Richard Maize.

"The question is why?"

"A simple and good answer would be that Mark Zuckerberg simply doesn't need that much money to live a lavish lifestyle and while being young and still earning more than he will ever need. Zuckerberg may want to help a variety of needy organizations and for that much money can actually make a very big difference."

Richard Maize concludes: "I was recently asked if I made a one billion dollars, what would I do with it? The answer I had was I would be able to give more away."

Richard Maize adds: "For one, it avoids the income tax on those gross dollars so that the government is participating. And second, I couldn't do anything more with a billion dollars than I could with 200 million (other than buying completely unnecessary toys). I could live where I wanted and drive any car I chose. Vacations would be lavish and so would the clothes on our backs. At the same time, a big contribution would bring a big welcome smile to needy people and or medical research. That would make me the happiest."

The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation is a philanthropic organization that supports and contributes volunteer and financial resources to causes locally in the community and worldwide by supporting meaningful programs focusing on art, culture, family services and health care that work to help people live more fulfilling lives.

Richard Maize, a respected leader in the mortgage banking real estate industry, http://www.richardmaizerealestate.com, and a mentor to young entrepreneurs, has generously supported organizations and causes including the American Cancer Society, Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services, Hurricane Katrina, Los Angeles Police Foundation, USO, Haiti earthquake relief efforts, Israel Flying Aid and Cedars Sinai Board of Governors.

Richard Maize and his wife, Rochelle Maize, are longtime benefactors of the American Cancer Society, among many other organizations, and Richard Maize has been recognized for his efforts on behalf of more than a dozen charitable groups and community projects.

The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation supports an extraordinary number of foundations, organizations, and non-profit groups.

The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation is a philanthropic organization that supports and contributes volunteer and financial resources to community and global causes by supporting programs focusing on art, culture, family services, and healthcare. The Rochelle and Richard Maize Foundation's efforts also help people with cancer and those who care for them lead live more fulfilling lives.

Celebrity Baby Blog Reviews Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack

Celebrity Baby Blog recently reviewed the Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack and Shorthaul Backpack -- and their celebrity owners -- Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin. Baby Sherpa scores a hole in one for quality, durability and great design.

Elin Nordegren Woods and Tiger Woods both own Baby Sherpa bags to carry in their travels and during long days out on the golf course with baby Sam Alexis Woods. But Elin's Baby Sherpa bag is extra special to her.

The company outfitted her with a Short Haul ($85) version of their popular bag in Cobalt Blue and Gold, the colors of her native Sweden. The Short Haul has all the features of the larger Baby Sherpa bag, it's just made a little smaller for petite women and people who are not packing for as long of a day out with the kids. We love how completely tough and functional these bags are. Not to mention nearly indestructible.

Celebrity Baby Blog Review

In the world of diaper bags, Baby Sherpas are the true professionals. You may feel comfortable with an amateur bag for a quick trip to Starbucks. But for that all day outing at the zoo? Or that 11 hour trip back east to see Grandma? Well then it's time to pack it all up in a hardworking backpack-style bag. It's time to reach for a real performer that was inspired by the climbers of Mt Everest.

Baby Sherpa bags were designed with some serious parenting in mind. No convenience has been overlooked. Dads love this bag too because there is a place for everything and it does not make them look like a dork who is digging through their wife's purse. They can appreciate that this bag is not for wimps and it means business, celeb dads Brad Pitt and Tiger Woods are fans. The functional features and ways you can make this bag work are almost too numerous to list, but click on the extended post for a basic tour and a coupon code.

The Coolers:
The bottom part of the bag is a generously sized, mylar-lined insulated compartment. Keep your food and beverages cold (or warm) in here. A mesh pouch at the top of the compartment holds your ice pack in place, if you use one. Want to keep your own water cool and baby's bottle warm? No problem. A detachable insulated bottle pocket on the outside of the bag keeps everything just the right temperature.

The Pockets:
When it comes to bags like this, you really can't have too, many can you? The pockets on the Baby Sherpa are not gratuitous. They all serve a higher purpose. On the inside, up top, there are easy to access separate compartments for diapers and wipes, a change of clothes, and toiletry/first aid items. These interior compartments easily hold all your diapering needs, a change of clothes and a lightweight blanket. The dense foam, padded diaper changing pad slips into it's own dedicated compartment along the backside of the bag and does double duty as added padding and back support when you are wearing this bag. Then there are all the outside pockets. Two zippered and two mesh outer pockets contain all the stuff you need to grab in a hurry.

The Hangers On:
You know how kids always want to bring along a blanket or stuffie? And then they get sick of carrying it ... Or how they g Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) et too hot when you get to where you are going and hand you their sweater (sherpa)? How about when their shoes get all sandy at the beach and they refuse to put them back on? You could not, or would not want to shove all this excess gear into a normal diaper bag. But with the Baby Sherpa you have a way to carry them, and remain hands-free, because the Baby Sherpa has toy loops, plastic hooks with carabiners and bungee cord lacing on the outside. Stuff that blankie and stuffie under the bungee cord, clip those shoes onto a caribiner and carry on! Additional clips, hooks, and rings are provided on the straps for you to attach keys, a cell phone or any and everything else you might ever want to have dangling at arms reach.

The Ergonomics:
This bag is designed to get you there with all your stuff intact, including your own back. So you can skip that trip to the chiropractor's office. The Baby Sherpa has been ergonomically designed and includes sternum and hip straps for those days when your journey is extra long and your load is extra heavy. The shoulder straps are heavily padded and adjustable for any size.

The Finishing Touches:
Everything from the rough and tumble exterior cloth, to the high quality tough as nails zippers and sturdy mesh, is designed to perform, and to last. This is a bag you can take with you anywhere, anytime -- It's up to the challenge. Some thoughtful additions to the exterior that we appreciate include reflective tape accents for nighttime visibility and a carrying handle on the top of the bag for grab and go convenience. It's also nice to know that this bag will serve you well long past the diaper days. It's an excellent bag for hiking, for students, or to store all your video/photography equipment. You'll never outgrow this bag.

It's easy to see why these bags are popular with celebrities who travel with their kids regularly. Brad Pitt has been spotted carrying the camo version of one of these bags and more recently, Elin and Tiger Woods received these bags for their all day outings. Tiger got the full size Baby Sherpa and Elin got the scaled down Short Haul version in blue and gold -- The colors of Sweden, her native country.

Yeastrol, the Next Best Thing for Yeast Infection Treatments with No Side Effects

Does Yeastrol cure yeast infection? Yes it does, read my review below to avoid the embarassment I went through to find out.

This is my honest review of the popular homeopathic cure without any false promises and hype.

I have been trying many products for yeast infection. Some were expensive, some were ineffective; and some were effective too, but only after prolonged application.

But most of all, I was unhappy with the side effects which most of these products had. Now at last I have been able to find the right cure. I have tried it & found it really effective. This is one of those very few products which actually perform as they claim!

But do not take my word only! No way! Understand a few facts. Then try it out yourself. See how it works for you. This is the only way you can come to know how wonderful Yeastrol is.

Some Facts

But first of all, here are some facts about yeast infection. The candida organism is already present in our intestine. Usually, it remains under check when we are healthy. But at times, there may be an overgrowth. There are many factors for it. These include stress, hormonal changes, or due to high level of acids in the body.

This high incidence of yeast in the body causes infection. It is this infection which gives rise to itching. And you know how troublesome this itching is. It can happen anywhere, anytime. And I am sure all of you know how irritable it is, especially since you can't go to a doctor every time, can you?

This itching does not spare anybody. Hence I was always looking for a product which would suit both men & women. This Yeastrol review is about one such product which I have used & found to be really effective.

So What Do You Get?

This Yeastrol review is about a homeopathic cure for yeast infection. Homeopathic means that there are practically no side effects, as only natural ingredients are used. Yeastrol is a blend of twelve natural ingredients. All these ingredients work synergistically with one another.

This natural medicine relieves your body not only from itching, but also help in the elimination of the other symptoms which are caused by this infection.

These include: abdominal pain, mouth ulcers, digestive disruptions, eczema, weakness, bloating, nervous anxiety, skin rashes, digestion problems, genital itching and rash, vaginal or penile discharge, burning urination, urgent need to urinate, and joint pain.

What I Like About Yeastrol Thumbs Up

    No pills to be taken – since you constantly keep on forgetting & break the cycle. Also, they are a problem in case you are travelling or are busy in a meeting.

    Not a cream – creams are quite messy. Applying them is not easy. Also they may make your clothes stained.

    Ease of use – it is just a spray. Hence it is really easy to use. Besides, this spray can be done anywhere.

    Natural – hence you are not taking in any harmful chemicals

    No Prescription- all natural so you can buy over the counter or order discreetly online

    No side effects – this is what I like the best. This is one product I have found with simply no side effects at all.

    Heals variety of symptoms – Yeastrol does not take care of itching alone. There are various other symptoms of yeast infection, like weakness, mouth ulcers, etc. Yeastrol contains multiple ingredients. Hence it is able to take care of all these symptoms.

    Effective & fast acting – Yeastrol needs to be taken in by spraying 2-3 times a day. Hence it is a fast acting solution, which is highly effective.
    The guarantee is 100% ironclad. You can try out Yeastrol for almost 3 entire months. And in case, you are not happy with the results (which I don't think will happen) you can return the unused & unopened bottles within 90 days of your purchase.

What I Don't LikeThumbs Down

Yeastrol is a quality homeopathic cure, it is not a magic pill, however. This Yeastrol review is not only about the benefits of Yeastrol. There is no product till date which is perfect. Hence even Yeastrol has some disadvantages. Yeastrol, while it works for most people, it doesn't work for everybody because everyone is different. Nothing works 100% of the time.

This Yeastrol review is about a product which is all-natural. Every single ingredient of Yeastrol is derived from nature. There is nothing in this product that has the ability to disrupt any of your body processes. Thus it cannot cause any harmful side effects.

This is because it addresses the disease's causes, as well as symptoms. Once you use Yeastrol, you will clear yourself of yeast infection as well as any parasites which may be thriving in your body.

Yeastrol has been guaranteed to be safe as well as effective. It is ready to be used by anybody who is aged 14 or above. Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) It is safe for the elderly also.

Yeastrol has another very big advantage. It can be used together with other medicines. There will be no adverse side effects or any drowsiness. You have the option to further improve its effectiveness.

Simply avoid certain things from your diet like alcoholic beverages, white flour products as well as processed foods. And remember to add certain things in your diet like raw garlic, whey protein and of course, all kinds of fresh vegetables.

So now by reading this Yeastrol review, you are well aware that you don't have much to lose by trying out Yeastrol, except just your yeast infections :-)

Remember if Yeastrol doesnt work for you return all unused and used bottles and you will receive you money back.

Phoenix Top Doc, Dr. John Bass Provides Another Year of Breast Reconstruction Services to the Phoenix Indian Medical Center Through Partnership with Susan G. Komen

While breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among American Indian women, very little information on breast reconstruction surgery is provided to these women. Why has breast reconstruction information been so rarely available for Native women?

According to a past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), it is due to lack of both insurance coverage and personal empowerment through patient education. Consequently, Native women often do not get breast reconstruction after mastectomy unless they have private insurance or can afford to pay for this procedure themselves. Very few have these options, so the majority of American Indian women have not been able to get reconstruction.

2006 was a breakthrough year for American Indian women who underwent mastectomy. This was the first year the Susan G. Komen Foundation awarded the Phoenix Indian Medical Center the grant Whole Again: A Second Year Project to Build a Capacity for Breast Reconstruction Surgery for American Indian Women with Breast Cancer.

The objectives of the grant were to:

•     Purchase the necessary equipment needed to provide breast reconstructions at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center
•     Provide breast reconstruction surgeries for American Indian women
•     Contract with a plastic surgeon to provide surgical services since the Phoenix Indian Medical Center did not have a qualified plastic surgeon on site.

The Phoenix Indian Medical Center selected Phoenix-area plastic surgeon, Dr. John Bass, to provide the surgical services and train their Phoenix Indian Medical Center general surgeons to perform many of the reconstructive procedures themselves.

Dr. Bass has been active in the Maricopa County Medical Society since 1989 and served as president in 2001. He has been affiliated with Paradise Valley Hospital, John C. Lincoln Hospital and Medical Center, Scottsdale Healthcare Hospitals and Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. He currently is providing services at the Scottsdale Healthcare Hospital – the Shea and the Osborn campus as well as at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center. Dr. Bass is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Lipoplasty Society of North America, the Maricopa County Medical Society and the Arizona Medical Association.

Dr. Bass and the Phoenix Indian Medical Center team have agreed to partner again to provide breast reconstruction services to 10-12 patients this year to offer more options to American Indian women.
Breast reconstruction can change a woman's life exponentially.

•     One of Phoenix Indian Medical Center's patients who underwent reconstruction was so empowered that she went on to become the hospital's new Reach to Recovery volunteer. This is a program sponsored by the American Cancer Society that trains women to become volunteers within their community who meet with newly diagnosed women, providing them with support through their diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
•     Another patient who underwent reconstruction recently was a model in a breast cancer benefit fundraiser fashion show for Banner of Hope, a local breast cancer fundraiser.

The patients say it best:

•     "It feels good to have modesty again"
•     "I won't have to worry about losing my prosthesis in the swimming pool anymore!"
•     "I feel balanced again"

Bright Medical Focuses On Adults Diapers

Urinary incontinence is often a sensitive and private subject. Due to this sensitive nature, public conversation surrounding the issue is very limited, as are statistics relative to incontinence products. To find out more about the public's knowledge, opinions, and usage of incontinence supplies and conditions, Bright Medical decided to conduct a study on the women's coats subject.

Bright Medical hired a local marketing consultant to conduct the market research. Participants were both male and female, and ranged from age 56 to age 74. The study was completely anonymous and conducted on a small scale.

The survey reveals that 67 percent of participants described the process of publicly purchasing incontinence products including adult diapers, waterproof bed pads and wipes as "moderately embarrassing." Compared to women, males were more likely to be embarrassed when making the purchase. Of all respondents, 72 percent would opt to purchase adult diapers and other incontinence supplies online versus in a brick-and-mortar store, given that the expense was the same.

"Fortunately, my wife and I have yet to deal with any urinary incontinence problems. But if we ever do, I'm sure it will be pretty embarrassing to purchase whatever products we will need. If there is the option of making these purchases online and the price isn't much higher, that is what we would do," responded one male participant.

The study also shows that the majority of respondents were greatly unaware of the variety of incontinence products available. Less than 35 percent of participants were familiar with the usefulness of hospital bed pads, waterproof bed pads and incontinence skin care products. The majority of participants were also uninformed of the green alternative to adult diapers, adult cloth diapers.

The research indicates that participants who do purchase incontinence supplies spend approximately $73.46 per month on adult diapers, briefs, and or liners. Medicare and most insurance providers do not reimburse patients for the expense of adult diapers.

Through its unique business structure, Bright Medical is able to offer adult diapers and other incontinence products at discounted prices, often up to 50 percent. There are 17 products under Bright Medical's "Adult Diapers" product category, including briefs, pads, and liners. Of those 17 products, 11 are sold in quantities meant to last a month. These quantities range from 60 per case to 168 per case. The average cost of these products is $35.25, less than half the amount reported in the study. The briefs range from $29.07 for a case of 60 briefs to $56.13 for a case of 90 briefs, with an average price of about $54.45. The average price of a month's supply of pads is $29.95 and ranges from $24.80 for a case of 144 pads to $35.09 for a case of 168 pads. Liners range from $21.58 for a case of 72 liners to $46.33 for a case of 112. The average cost for a case of liners is approximately $33.49. Bright Medical's prices are much lower than the reported average. The products are still high-quality and manufactured by the best brand names in the industry.

Bright Medical's study also reflects a lack of knowledge concerning which incontinence products are most appropriate for varying conditions, situations, bodies and lifestyles. In response, Bright Medical has issued a guide full of tips to help guide consumers determine which adult diapers, cloth adult diapers, and other incontinence supplies are best for his or her situation. This guide is currently available on Bright Medical's blog.

Urinary incontinence is a fact of life for many disabled and elderly men and women in America. It can be the result of being born with spina bifida, an aggressive treatment of prostate cancer, or aging. A lack of proper incontinence products can result in depression, embarrassment, and decreased mobility. However, the right adult diaper and other incontinence products can improve personal hygiene, comfort and mobility.

About Bright Medical
Bright Medical is a leading online medical supply marketplace that carries the best name products at the best prices. Popular categories include Bathroom Safety/Assists, Incontinence Care, Respiratory Products, Hospital Beds and Accessories, Orthopedic Supplies, Walkers, Scooters and Wheelchairs. Most Bright Medical orders are shipped within one business day and are carefully monitored until delivery.

Nadiflow Tranquility Eye Pillows Featured in Spa Magazine

Nadiflow.com, the US based online retailer of fitness and lifestyle clothing and accessories for men and women, has its Tranquility Eye Pillows featured in the current Spring 2012 edition of Spa Magazine. Nadiflow's Tranquility Eye Pillows are filled with organic flax seed and fragrant lavender, encased in a removable cotton batik cover, and are made in the USA. In addition to the universally appealing scent of lavender, the aromatherapy benefit of the lavender in the pillows helps promote relaxation and sleep. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.nadiflow.com.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, more than 60% of Americans are getting less than eight hours sleep and more than 40% report being too drowsy to perform efficiently at work or at home a few days or more a month. In a study sponsored by the Sense of Smell Institute at Wesleyen University, Dr. Namni Goel rigorously tested the effect of lavender on nighttime sleep and found that it improved sleep in men and women. She discovered that lavender increased the amount of time subjects spent in slow wave or deep sleep, which is the restful restorative phase of sleep. This resulted in higher vigor scores on the Profile of Mood States test. Dr. Goel also found that although lavender improved sleep for both genders, it worked better for women.    

"What's really nice is when people tell me how much the Tranquility eye pillow helps them to relax," says Lisa Silverman, Managing Partner of Nadiflow. "The calming fragrance and weight of the organic flax seed on one's eyes really help you relax after a long day. And I just love the colors of the cotton batik covers, they're truly amazing."

The Tranquility Eye Pillow is available on Nadiflow's ecommerce site at http://www.nadiflow.com.
In addition to selling eye pillows, Nadiflow also offers a complete collection of yoga wear, casual activewear, yoga mat bags, footwear, and jewelry.
