The health-care principle of the medicated pillow lies in the fact that the substances in the pillow continue to evaporate, and the medicinal properties of the plants penetrate into the body through the temperature of the head and absorption through the pores of the scalp, dredge the qi and blood through the meridians, and adjust the yin and yang. Another way is through nasal inhalation, which enters the body through the exchange of qi and blood in the lungs. This is the principle of "curing diseases by smelling fragrance".

3. Will mung bean shell pillows breed mites?

Will mung bean shell pillows grow mites? We already know the answer. So how should we deal with such terrible and harmful mites? For the mites on the pillowcase, we can use 60-degree hot water to disinfect and soak them, which can basically kill most of the mites. For pillow cores, the method is different because pillow cores cannot be washed. For pillow cores, the best way is to wrap the newly purchased pillow core with professional anti-mite fabric. Remember to wrap it tightly to prevent mites in the pillowcase from running in. Given that mites have such strong reproductive and survival abilities, we can also use mite removal products to prevent and control mites. A mite removal device is a good choice. The ultrasonic waves it emits are specifically targeted at mites.
