While pursuing a healthy lifestyle, many people are beginning to pay attention to how to improve their quality of life through daily necessities. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine pillows are considered to bring a series of health benefits due to their unique herbal characteristics. However, selecting the appropriate materials and using them correctly is crucial.
Traditional Chinese herbal pillows can be made from materials such as iron skin, buckwheat skin, chrysanthemum, cassia seed, galangal, mugwort, etc., which have the effect of assisting in treating insomnia. If using traditional Chinese Herbal pillows, it is recommended that patients use them under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Iron sheet: Iron sheet material implants are the main raw material for making traditional Chinese medicine pillows, but iron sheet is prone to moisture, breeding bacteria, and is not conducive to physical health, so it is generally not recommended to use. Using iron sheets to make pillows can be worn while sleeping, allowing for longer contact between the head and pillow, promoting local blood circulation, and improving sleep quality;
2. Buckwheat husk: Buckwheat husk is one of the raw materials for making traditional Chinese medicine pillows, which has the effect of assisting in eliminating fatigue and improving sleep quality. However, due to the hard texture of buckwheat skin pillows, improper wearing may cause scalp damage, so it is usually not recommended to use buckwheat skin as a pillow;
3. Chrysanthemum: Chrysanthemum has the effects of assisting in clearing heat, detoxifying, calming, and calming the mind. It can be used to treat diseases such as wind heat and cold. However, chrysanthemum has a strong odor, so it is not recommended to use chrysanthemum as a pillow to avoid causing excessive odor and affecting sleep quality;
4. Cassia seed: Cassia seed has the function of assisting in clearing the liver, brightening the eyes, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movements. It can be used to treat symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, unclear vision, and excessive tearing. However, the Cassia seed pillow does not have a therapeutic effect on diseases, so it is generally not recommended to use it;
5. Gao Liang Jiang: Gao Liang Jiang has the effects of warming, relieving pain, and stopping vomiting. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Chinese medicinal materials with a tendency towards heat are all biased towards heat. Using Gao Liang Jiang to make pillows can promote the circulation of qi and blood in the head, playing a role in relieving pain;
6. Artemisia argyi: Artemisia argyi has the effect of assisting in warming meridians, stopping bleeding, dispersing cold and relieving pain. It can be used to treat diseases such as deficiency cold hemorrhagic disease, cold abdominal pain, and cold dampness pain. However, due to the fragrant aroma of mugwort leaves, it is not recommended to use them as pillows to avoid excessive odor and affecting sleep quality.
Through the above introduction, you should have a deeper understanding of the material selection and use of homemade traditional Chinese medicine pillows. Remember, although traditional Chinese medicine pillows may help improve sleep quality and assist in the treatment of certain conditions, they cannot replace professional medical advice and treatment. Before trying any new health products or therapies, especially when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine materials, it is best to consult a doctor or professional medical personnel for advice. By using the right methods and appropriate materials, traditional Chinese medicine pillows can become a part of your pursuit of better sleep and a healthy lifestyle.
