The hazards of plaster pillows

Gypsum pillows are also a type of pillow that more and more families in modern society choose. Compared with traditional pillows, plaster pillows have very good health care effects. When making a plaster pillow, the production steps are also relatively complicated. Because the carvings on the plaster pillows are very delicate, they can be collected as an antique treasure. But what kind of harm will frequent pillow sleeping cause to the human body?

2. Gypsum pillows and plaster paperweights are heavy, so please carry them with care to avoid injuring your hands or feet or damaging the floor.

3. Gypsum pillows are harder than pillows made of other materials and can easily deform the child's skull and make the occipital bone flat, which is not conducive to the development of the head. Not to be used by children.

1. Sleeping on a plaster pillow has benefits:

Gypsum has been considered a top-grade Chinese medicinal stone since ancient times. The local people have used it to make gypsum pillows for nearly a thousand years. Moreover, hundreds of years of folk practice experience have proved that gypsum pillows do have auxiliary therapeutic effects such as lowering blood pressure and preventing stroke, relieving headaches and calming the mind, relieving inflammation and reducing fever, and regulating the autonomic nervous system.

Sleeping with a plaster pillow has obvious auxiliary therapeutic effects on insomnia, dizziness, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, toothache caused by wind and fire, and facial skin inflammation. Unblock meridians, eliminate fatigue, clear away heat and purge fire, cool blood and lower blood pressure, absorb moisture and eliminate sweat, nourish the skin and prolong life.

2. The role of gypsum:

Gypsum itself is non-toxic, harmless and has no radioactive pollution. In ancient Chinese books, it is also called water-condensing stone, (Taiyin) black essence stone, salt root, etc. It has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. It has the effects of soothing the spleen and replenishing qi, quenching thirst and removing fire, relieving hunger and sweating. In the "Shenlong Materia Medica" of the Eastern Han Dynasty in my country, gypsum was mentioned for treating excessive heat and hyperactivity diseases such as restlessness and coma; historical documents record that in the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang in the Western Regions "had white salt shaped like jade. The people of Gaochang took it to make pillows and presented it to China." The white salt in the text refers to gypsum; the "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty recorded that gypsum pillows were mainly used to treat cold and heat caused by stroke.

The scientific principle of using gypsum as a medicinal pillow to treat diseases mainly includes several aspects: Meridian regulation Meridians are "internal organs and external limbs", connecting the inside and outside, up and down, inside and outside. Most of the meridians run through the neck, and there are many acupoints distributed here, which play corresponding functions. Medicinal pillow therapy can utilize a variety of mechanical and drug stimulations to stimulate the circulation of Qi and blood in the neck, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging meridians and unblocking Qi and blood.

Practical experience in traditional Chinese medicine has proved that gypsum pillows do have auxiliary therapeutic effects such as lowering blood pressure and preventing stroke, relieving headaches, calming the mind, relieving inflammation and reducing fever, and regulating the autonomic nervous system.
