It is said that people spend most of their lives in sleep, which makes sense, because sleeping at night can not only restore physical strength, but also make the body useful. Because people often have to sleep, besides bedding, the most important thing is how to choose a pillow. Buckwheat skin pillows are particularly popular with the people, so what is the principle of Chinese medicine health care pillows? The principle of Chinese medicine health pillow is that Chinese medicine believes that the head is the meeting of yang and the home of wisdom, and qi and blood gather in the head, which is closely connected with meridians and acupoints of the whole body.

Using pillow can make drugs directly act on the head, and then seek medical treatment to eliminate evil, balance qi and blood, and regulate yin and yang. Pharmacological studies have proved that the evaporated components of some aromatic drugs have the functions of eliminating phlegm, calming, waking up and dilating peripheral blood vessels. Pillows give full play to the advantages of drug therapy, meridian conditioning and biological holographic therapy, and then play a regulating role in stimulating meridian qi and blood, dredging qi and blood, enlightening and improving eyesight, regulating viscera and harmonizing qi and blood.

Meridian has the function of connecting viscera and limbs. Although the viscera, limbs, organs, organs and bones of the human body have different physiological functions, together with all organic activities, they maintain harmony inside and outside the body and form an organic whole. This mutual connection and organic cooperation is mainly based on the connection and communication of the meridian system. Meridian has the functions of activating qi and blood, nourishing the body, resisting external evils and protecting the body. The head and neck are relatively independent holographic embryos of the human body, where most meridians circulate and many acupoints (acupoints) are also scattered. Pillow therapy is to use machinery and drugs to stimulate the qi of Muyu point in the head and neck meridians, promote sensing, make the dregs of meridians and blood circulate, and then play the role of health care and disease prevention.

Blood vessels and nerves are regulated, and the head and neck are rich in blood vessels and nerves. The main blood vessels are external carotid artery, internal carotid artery, vertebral artery and corresponding veins and their branches. Nerves include greater occipital nerve, lesser occipital nerve, greater auricular nerve, cervical cutaneous nerve, supraclavicular nerve, facial nerve, oculomotor nerve, vagus nerve neck, cervical branch of facial nerve, head and neck sympathetic nerve, glossopharyngeal parasympathetic nerve and so on. Pillows have a direct impact on the skin receptors and nerve trunks in the neck, which can make them active, excited or inhibited, and then regulate blood vessels and nerves, improve partial microcirculation, accelerate blood flow, relax muscles, regulate nerves, and make the internal environment of the body relatively stable.
