The eyes not only provide us with our ability to see – scanning and filtering billions of stimulI, every second of every day – they also have vital connections to meridians, organs and emotions.
In creating the MRL Eye Spa series, which includes three new products targeting the eye and surrounding eye area, Marie combines all of the philosophies and principles she has learned during her many years in the complementary health industry. The MRL Eye Spa Series is the first collection by Marie Reynolds to specifically target the eyes.
“The MRL Range is designed to be adapted and mixed to evolve and use as and when required. I felt the release of an eye series was needed to not only implement a treatment for the eye area but also a therapy to give the 360 approach to the intricate and complex environment of the eyes and all the energetic pathways they hold.” – Marie Reynolds
On the adjacent diagram, you can see how certain meridians link to the eyes.
Each meridian has a partner organ and a Yin or Yang relationship as well as an emotion that affects the body as a whole. Any massage or compress on or around these zones will have an influence to a specific point on the body.
The eyes truly are the windows to our soul, so let’s give them the care they need. Now, let us introduce the new collection…

MRL EYEBALL
These ergonomic and cooling MRL Eyeballs are the perfect way to apply Eye-Drate, whilst supporting drainage of stagnant lymph and blood flow.
Eye Ball soothes and calms the skin around the eyes as you glide the spherical metal ball around the orbital of the eye socket, focusing on key acupressure points to stimulate the meridians associated with eye strain, migraines and tension.
For an added cooling effect the MRL Eyeball can be kept in the refrigerator overnight.

Repeat on the upper eyes (just under the browbone) from the inner eye (Bladder zone) to the outer (San Jiao), taking care not to apply to much pressure.
With the tip of the eye balls gently apply pressure either side of the bridge of the nose (Bladder points) and make small rotations for a count of 8.
Sweep up under the brow bone gently applying a little pressure and slow down the sweeping movement. X 3 times. (Covering Bladder, Gallbladder and San Jiao zones).
Using both tools, gently squeeze along the brow, lifting as you go x3 times.

MRL EYE SPA
The use of electronic devices including computers, smart phones, iPads andthe lack of sleep can lead to eye strain, fatigue, dehydration, ageing of the eyearea. It can also lead to blurred or decreased vision and eye strain.
The eyes and surrounding areas provide small energetic gateways (meridianpoints) that may be deficient in energy or have energetic excess causingmigraines, headaches, sinus and eye conditions.
The MRL Eye Spa, is a self activating hot compress designed specifically for the eyes, which has been created to improve stagnation and congestion of the sinus cavities and relieve congestion or throbbing pain from migraines ,headaches and sinusitis.
A recent research from the National Library of Medicine, concluded that applying a hot compress to the ocular surface increased retrobulbar (behind the eye) blood flow and could be used to improve blood supply in this area. This simple and inexpensive treatment could become a key approach in the treatment of glaucoma.
The application of warmth around the eye area pulls in moisture from the surface of the skin to the deeper layers, hydrating delicate superficial fascia, also stimulating oil glands and lipids that contribute to our tears that hydrate our eyes.
The application of the MRL Eye Spa mask influences energy on the surrounding meridian points – for example migraines that may make you nauseous are linked to the Gallbladder meridian, frontal headaches are linked to the stomach meridian.
The MRL Eye Spa is made of cotton and infused with Chamomile, known for its calming and anti-inflammatory actions. Its design incorporates three layers of fabric with a patented 2mm thermostatic control middle layer. The thermostatic layer has free 12mm central area for pupil protection but surrounding areas are made from nano far-infrared fibres.
The mask is recyclable once layers are separated and middle layer disposed.
