Heat is not just a pleasant sensation: it has a direct impact on emotional well-being. For several years, scientific studies have shown that exposure to a source of gentle heat stimulates the release of oxytocin, often called the "bonding hormone".
Oxytocin is naturally produced by the body when we experience something soothing: a hug, an embrace, or simply a moment of comfort. The warmth then plays a triggering role. It sends a safety signal to the nervous system, which promotes muscular and emotional relaxation.
Wrapping yourself in a warm blanket not only reduces stress but also enhances feelings of comfort and emotional connection. In a sometimes demanding daily life, offering your body this moment of warmth is a simple and natural way to support your inner balance.
At Poolard Plaid, we believe a product should do more than just keep you warm: it should contribute to genuine well-being. That's why our blankets are designed to create that enveloping, cocooning sensation that promotes the release of oxytocin, and therefore deep relaxation.
