How to make a cervical pillow

Due to the prevalence of vertebral pain, ordinary pillows can no longer meet our needs. We need some special pillows to improve vertebral problems. If you want to make your own pillow, you can first work on the filling material. We can add traditional Chinese medicine, buckwheat or tea that helps sleep. The next thing is the shape of the pillow. We can make the pillow into an arc shape and put a gap at the position of the cervical vertebrae, which will be much more comfortable.

First, let’s talk about soybean pillows. For people who are not very well off financially but can endure hardships, making a soybean pillow can be very effective for cervical spondylosis. Get a piece of pure cotton cloth as wide as your shoulders, sew it on three sides, and leave an opening on one side. Make it into a cylinder with the same thickness as a beer bottle. The second step is to find some soybeans to fill it up, seal the opening, and tie it up before use. Many people will not be able to adapt to it in the early stages because it is too hard, especially for people who have lost the physiological curvature of the cervical spine or have cervical hyperextension. They may feel dizzy after using it for a while, and their neck may hurt more. This requires people who can endure hardships and are not afraid of pain. Generally, one to two hours a day is enough. Gradually increase the time it takes to adapt to the pillow until you are used to it and can use it every night.

The second method is to use buckwheat husks to make pillows. The steps are the same as above, except that the filling is replaced with buckwheat husks. However, it is best to fry the buckwheat husks before use, otherwise it is easy to breed insects. In addition, when making a buckwheat pillow, you must check whether you are allergic to buckwheat husks. The editor once made a buckwheat pillow, but after less than a week, his neck became allergic and red, which looked scary, so he stopped using it.

The third type is to use some commonly used Chinese medicinal materials for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing meridians and dredging collaterals as fillers to make a medicinal pillow. The editor used ice pepper, cloves, honeysuckle, strychnos nux vomica, dried ginger, atractylodes, borneol, etc. to fill it into a pillow, which is quite good to use as a pillow. Note that there should not be too much strychnos nux vomica, but an appropriate amount. This thing is toxic and needs to be made under the guidance of a professional. If it is prepared properly and used in moderate amounts, there will be no problem at all.

Some other pillows are similar. For example, pillows made of cassia seed, tea leaves or bamboo charcoal are also feasible. The most important thing is to control the height and make them safe and comfortable to be effective. We often see such methods, but many people often do not persist and give up when they feel some pain while using the pillow. In fact, what I want to say here is that cervical spondylosis itself is a problem of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. If you want to correct the physiological curvature, you must use external force. Imagine that if an ordinary person bends his finger to the other side and applies a little force, it will still hurt, not to mention the abnormal physiological curvature of the cervical spine. Therefore, I hope that after reading this article, those who want to cure diseases and enjoy themselves at the same time will realize that this method may not be suitable for you. However, in addition to this, you can also use the more advanced space memory foam pillow, such as the Qiancaotang cervical pillow. It is understood that this pillow is not only more comfortable, but also has a medicinal effect, which is also a highlight. People with cervical spondylosis who find it troublesome to make a pillow by themselves or feel uncomfortable making it by themselves can choose the Qiancaotang series cervical pillow.

The above is how to make a cervical pillow. I believe that through the following simple introduction, it can help more people who want to use a pillow to treat their cervical spine.

The material of the pillow core is the most important component of the pillow. The space memory foam is made of polyether polyurethane, which has a good ability to absorb impact and has unique pressure decomposition characteristics. It can effectively relieve the pressure of the pillow on the head. The pillow made of space cotton material is also called a zero-pressure pillow. When using it, it feels like floating in the water and you will not feel any pressure. Because of its uniqueness, the space memory foam material has excellent moisture absorption and sweat absorption properties and breathability, which greatly improves the environment next to the pillow. Moreover, the material is easy to use and easy to care for, reducing the number and trouble of daily maintenance. The most obvious difference from ordinary pillows is that it can effectively inhibit bacteria and mites, inhibit the growth of mold, and eliminate the irritating odor produced by the growth of mold, providing the best use effect for the environment next to the pillow.
