with sensory difficulties whom I work with, they are so cute and soft, no one would
suspect that they can serve a very therapeutic purpose! All the children whom I have
used your blanket with, love it."

"I just wanted to let you know that we did receive the Bean Blanket yesterday in
time for Christmas. Thank you very much for the trouble you went to in order for
us to get it so quickly. My son absolutely loves it. He spent a big part of today
with it wrapped around him, and is asleep under it right now. It really is amazing
to me how much it calms and comforts him. Anything that brings him some
peace means the world to my husband and me.
Thank you."

Hugs Have Health Benefits
|
Researchers at the UNC Chappel Hill
studied oxytocin, which is frequently
referred to as the love hormone, and
discovered that people who get lots of
hugs and other warm contact at home
tend to have the highest levels of oxytocin.
Oxytocin has shown to lower the levels of
stress hormones in our body, reducing
blood pressure, improving mood,
increasing tolerance for pain, and playing
an important role in sustaining more
intimate relationships.
Additional research is confirming that
oxytocin has a significant role in reducing
anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and
promoting an overall sense of well-being.
Oxytocin, produced naturally by our body,
is also proving to have calming and
comforting benefits for children and
adults with Autism, Aspergers, and
ADHD.
