The head and neck area of the human body is rich in blood vessels and nerves. The main blood vessels include the external carotid artery, internal carotid artery, vertebral artery, and their corresponding veins and branches.

Tea Pillow Making Method

Pillow Case

Sew a high-density dark cotton cloth measuring 40*30cm into a bag.

Filling Material

Select 1000-1500 grams of fresh tea leaves from the current year's harvest, processed with floral materials like osmanthus. Through gas-liquid circulation technology, the floral fragrance permeates the tea leaves under the influence of osmanthus. Special processing techniques then soften the tea leaves, making them less prone to breakage under pressure.

Pillow Maintenance

Air-dry the pillow core at least twice a month. After drying, gently pat the pillow core to loosen the tea leaves and enhance comfort. The tea fragrance can last approximately 2-3 years. Keep the pillow dry during use to prevent mildew. Tea leaves naturally have antibacterial and anti-mold properties; simply air-drying can restore their original characteristics and aroma.

Tips:

1. Tea residues should be dried in the shade, not under direct sunlight, to prevent loss of fragrance and reduced efficacy.

2. Generally, replace the tea filling every 3 months.

3. The pillowcase is best made of cotton or mulberry silk fabric. A pillow size of 50cm long and 30cm wide is suitable.

4. Typically, a pillow height of 10-15cm is appropriate, but the exact size should be adjusted according to individual physiological curvature.

What are the Benefits of Tea Pillows?

1. Tea pillows are suitable for individuals with active metabolism, especially those who sweat heavily from the head during sleep. Excessive sweating can dampen the pillow, allowing pathogens, mites, dust, etc., to accumulate, which may trigger bronchial asthma or skin infections. Particularly ideal for children.

2. They help brighten the eyes and refresh the mind, improving work efficiency. Different types of tea (e.g., black tea, green tea, oolong tea) offer distinct benefits.

3. Pillows made from tea materials naturally absorb odors and moisture, providing a comfortable and cool sleep during hot summers. With the growing popularity of tea drinking, leftover tea residues are often discarded, causing waste and environmental concerns. Repurposing them into tea pillows not only promotes economic efficiency through waste utilization but also supports healthy sleep.

4. Pillows made from aged tea leaves have anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing properties. Before use, it is advisable to soak aged tea leaves in hot water, drain, dry, and then fill into the pillowcase, sealing it properly. This step helps remove potentially harmful components from aged tea.

5. Tea pillows also possess mosquito-repellent functions, making them especially suitable for summer use.

Are Tea Pillows Good?

The head and neck area of the human body is rich in blood vessels and nerves. Key nerves include the greater occipital nerve, lesser occipital nerve, great auricular nerve, cervical cutaneous nerve, supraclavicular nerve, facial nerve, oculomotor nerve, cervical vagus nerve, cervical branch of the facial nerve, sympathetic nerves of the head and neck, and parasympathetic fibers of the glossopharyngeal nerve. A tea pillow utilizes the active components of health-beneficial plants and its unique shape to directly act on the skin receptors and nerve trunks in the neck. This can stimulate or inhibit these structures, regulating blood vessels and nerves, improving local microcirculation, accelerating blood flow, relaxing muscles, and balancing the internal environment. Consequently, it helps eliminate fatigue and refresh the mind.
