After studying the height, hardness, size and pillow core, medical scientists and life scientists put forward the following reasonable suggestions:
Height of pillow core: When the height of pillow is 6-9 cm, the computer screen will be in a stable rest state, and high-quality sleep can be obtained. Long-term high pillow, the neck is fixed in the position of excessive flexion, so that the natural curvature of the cervical spine gradually disappears, and the cervical spine and ligaments are prone to push and change, so hyperosteogeny and cervical spondylosis follow. The pillow is too low, especially when lying on the side, which is easy to form scapulohumeral periarthritis and stiff neck. Therefore, "high pillow" is not enjoyable, and "low pillow" is harmful to health.
The length of the pillow should be appropriate: the ancients advocated that the pillow should be slightly longer.
The pillow core is moderate in hardness and slightly elastic;
Health care function of medicated pillow;
The ancients in our country were very particular about medicine pillows, and their contents were very rich. The medicated pillow has achieved the purpose of preventing and treating diseases and strengthening the body. Such as "eyesight-improving pillow", "bitter buckwheat, black bean skin, mung bean skin, cassia seed and chrysanthemum are used as pillows until they are old and eyesight-improving". "Chrysanthemum Pillow" makes people hear clearly and see clearly; "Magnetic pillow" can sleep quietly, and can treat neurasthenia and insomnia, as well as headache and tinnitus. Prunella vulgaris, cassia seed, chrysanthemum mung bean coat and honeysuckle can be used as pillow cores for treating hypertension. Patients with cervical spondylosis use traditional Chinese medicines such as Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Clematidis, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, Curcuma Rhizome and Carthami Flos as pillow cores. For people with low back and leg pain, aconite root, cassia twig, cinnamon bark, Eucommia bark and Lindera root can be ground into powder100g, and borneol10g can be added to make a medicated pillow, which has proved to be effective in practice.
Some old people sleep without pillows, which is a bad habit. Without a pillow, the head position is too low, which will cause more blood to flow into the head, make the blood vessels in the head congested and increase the pressure on the blood vessel wall. After a long night, my head will feel bloated and my eyelids will swell.
