In general any seeds that are around the size and hardness of buckwheat seeds will do – e.g. apple seeds are fine. mung beans are a tad too big and too round, pepper seeds are too soft. fenugreek might do, but usually they are quite small – experiment with a few and find ones that are easily accessible in your area.

Thanks to Mr Felix for his very helpful articles. As a Kindergarten student of Sujok /Acupressure, I keep referring to online info on the subject. Try putting seeds with medical tape on the assigned areas after massaging. This will prolong the effect and keep the headache away.not sure which ones can be used though. Fenugreek, green moong beans (with white part touching the skin), pepper… but not sure which will be most suitable here.

The weight of the flax seed works like acupressure on my eyes and temples. The flax seed holds the cold in to help reduce swelling and stress around my eyes. The peppermint scent just opens my sinuses right up and helps me breathe so much better. That alone helps me to relax. The eye pillow itself blocks out any light which always helps my headaches! The company I purchased it from is A Touch Of Satin. Their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com if anyone is interested.

They use organic flax seed and organic peppermint leaves and that was important to me. If you think this will help you then you might want to give them a look. I hope this helps everybody. It certainly helps me!

I shared this website with a couple of friends, and to our amazement, it does work! Although on friend said that it only works as long as you keep massaging, and it comes back gradually after you’ve stopped.
