When people sleep on a pillow with moisture, moisture can easily enter the body, which will do harm to the human body. Therefore, we should always get wet, which can keep our health. Chinese medicine says that sleeping on a pillow can get rid of dampness, so what pillow can you sleep on if there is moisture?
What does moisture sleep for? Put it in the pillow 1. The moisture disappeared, my shoulders and neck stopped hurting, and I slept soundly.
Aromatic/medicated pillow
As the name implies, it is a combination of incense, Chinese herbal medicine and pillow. Usually, Chinese herbal medicines with health care, disease prevention and exorcism are put in pillows or added to pillow-making materials. Through the inhalation of the odor of medicinal materials and the transdermal absorption of medicinal particles, the purpose of preventing and regulating diseases and protecting health can be achieved.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the meeting of all yang, and there are many meridians and acupoints, and the essence of the five internal organs is gathered in the head.
Aromatic medicated pillow directly acts on the head and neck. During sleep, the temperature of the head and neck can make the effective components of the medicine in the pillow emit, and stimulate the relevant meridian points slowly and permanently, thus playing the role of harmonizing qi and blood and dredging meridians.
Moreover, most of the drugs in the fragrant medicine pillow have the property of dispersing fragrance, and enter the blood circulation through the breathing of the lungs, thus improving the function of viscera.
According to different incense prescriptions, a reasonably compatible pillow has the functions of consolidating the foundation, strengthening the body, dredging the meridians, calming the nerves and helping sleep, and also has the functions of disinfection and sterilization, shielding foreign pathogens and prolonging life.
It can not only improve the quality of sleep, but also dredge and regulate the human body during sleep.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, a kind of "chrysanthemum pillow" was popular, with dried chrysanthemum as the pillow core. It is said that it has the magical effect of clearing the brain and eliminating evil spirits.
Learning to chat with friends on this pillow is a very elegant enjoyment; Sleeping with a bag of miscellaneous flowers, even dreams bloom in the fragrance of flowers, which is natural and refreshing, reducing the chance of nightmares and improving the quality of sleep.
Therefore, the ancients advocated this kind of "fragrant flower pillow", which is not only to add poetry to life, but also a way of health care.

Modern research has found that moxa sticks made of wormwood contain unique volatile oil, which has a good sedative effect on the nervous system.
Ai Rong health pillow slowly releases volatile oil, and after inhalation, it feels that every nerve ending in the brain is relaxed.
In a few minutes, you will fall asleep unconsciously.
I like playing mobile phone or blowing air conditioner for a long time, and my cervical muscles often cramp and ache.
Sleeping on the moxa pillow, people's body temperature is transmitted to the moxa stick, which produces moxa stick fever, just like gently moxibustion on the head and cervical vertebra.
As we all know, dander, sebum and sweat will remain on pillows, which is easy to breed bacteria and mites.
Bacteria and mites may make you sleep badly, itchy skin with acne, large pores and rash, which may cause bursitis and even hair loss in severe cases.
The volatile smell of wormwood contains camphor, borneol and other "plant bacteriostatic agents", which has a strong inhibitory effect on mites, molds, cocci and bacilli.
It is this principle that people often dry and mash Artemisia argyi leaves and smoke them for indoor disinfection, insect repellent and disease prevention.

Dehumidification:
If the home is humid, you can prepare some baking soda powder and put it in every corner of the home to absorb moisture.
We often use quilts, pillows, and some heavy household items such as sofa cover and curtains. If we use them continuously for about a month, we will leave them in the sun for several hours.
One thing we should remember is that the most important period of moistureproof is two key points every morning and evening, because the air humidity in these two periods is relatively high, which is the wettest time of the day. If you don't close the doors and windows in time, water vapor will invade your home.
If the humidity at home is very high, the general method can't completely remove the humidity, so I recommend you to use something dry to absorb the humidity. Lime works best. I suggest that you can put quicklime in the corner to absorb water, and the effect is very good.
You can also use a dehumidifier to dehumidify and dry at home. There are many different brands of dehumidifiers on the market now, and many small dehumidifiers are more suitable for home use. You can go to the home appliance market and buy one at home.
In addition, everyone should pay attention to some details of life. It's best not to hang clothes in the room, and don't bring wet umbrellas into the door, so your walls will get wet. As we all know, a large part of humidity is caused by heavy moisture on the wall, so we should pay attention to it.
