medicine pillow, from luxury to lifestyle
After some drugs are processed, they are put into pillows, or directly made into pillows. Through the pillow during sleep every day, they can cure diseases or maintain health. This kind of external natural therapy has existed since ancient times, and has been passed down from generation to generation, and is becoming more and more popular and perfect. However, because of the high cost and exquisite workmanship, the earliest medicine pillows were absolutely private customized luxury goods. Those who can enjoy medicine pillows are either rich or expensive. Ordinary people can’t understand the efficacy of medicine pillows.
There is a Ding Gong Xian pillow prescription in Zou Cunjian’s WaiZhi Shoushi prescription in the Qing Dynasty. The medicine pillow is made of wood, usually cypress or boxwood. First, make a pillow out of wood, then drill 128 holes in the pillow, and put 34 herbs such as Yizhiren and Qiang Huo into it. Continuous pillow use can help people keep fit and eliminate diseases. This kind of pillow is not cheap, so it is never close to the people. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that cloth pillows appeared in the medicinal pillows, which can be made of dozens of traditional Chinese medicines or just one flavor. This made it possible for the medicinal pillows to “fly into the homes of ordinary people”.

Women engaged in mental work often have migraines and poor sleep quality. It is not that you are too tired, but that “dryness” can not be removed. Chrysanthemum pillow can make your mind clear and greatly improve the quality of sleep. Li Shizhen said that chrysanthemum tastes sweet and bitter, and its nature is peaceful. It can eliminate wind and heat, benefit the liver and Yin, and benefit the lungs and kidneys. Using chrysanthemum as a pillow can stop headache, remove annoyance and heat, nourish eyes and blood, and lighten body and prolong life. Crush the dried chrysanthemums into pillows. If there is a tendency of blood stagnation and blood heat, a small amount of chuanxiong, Danpi and Angelica dahurica can be added to the pillow.

Many women are prone to “get angry” in summer, not only with sore throat, but also with red eyes and other symptoms. At this time, a cassia pillow can solve your problem. Cassia seed is salty and flat in smell, slightly cold in nature, and can replenish liver and essence. Cassia seed is small, and filling a pillow alone is very heavy. The compendium of Materia Medica contains a bright eye pillow, which uses “tartary buckwheat skin, black bean skin, mung bean skin, cassia seed and chrysanthemum as pillows to reach the old bright eyes”. The book does not specify the amount of each, but each flavor can have the same amount.
smell can eliminate food and filth, tea buckwheat pillow
Indigestion and loss of appetite are easy to occur in summer. Buckwheat itself has the function of digestion and decontamination, which can best reduce Qi and broaden intestines. For those with white and greasy tongue coating, add 200 grams of soaked Pu’er tea or Fujian rock tea, white mustard and Pinellia ternata to the pillow, grind and mix them to help dry dampness and remove phlegm.
I always feel “happy” and sleeping on straw pillows is better than buying bags
People who can’t sleep well always feel confused and unhappy. It’s better to buy a brand-name bag to improve your mood than to change a good pillow. Cao Tingdong, the author of Lao Lao Heng Yan, most recommends a straw pillow. It’s a pity that it’s a little heavy to pack mung bean skin to clear away heat. Loading tea leaves can remove annoyance, but when you put a pillow on it, the tea leaves will become broken slag. Grass is the best, soft and comfortable, and does not hurt your ears. What is not perfect is that Tongcao used to be wooden, but now it is replaced by tongtuomu, which is used to lead heat down and facilitate the waterway.
