The correct way to make a tea pillow

Tea has many wonderful uses in daily life. It can not only be used for drinking, but also can be made into common tea pillows. Sleeping with a tea pillow can improve the quality of sleep. It can also promote the activity of qi and blood in the human body, which is very beneficial to the body. There are many types of ways to use tea pillows. Generally, old tea leaves are picked and mixed with new tea. Pay attention to regular drying of tea pillows in the process of using them to prevent mold.

Production

Pillow filling :

Generally, new tea leaves picked from old tea trees that year are selected and processed with osmanthus and other flower materials. Under the action of osmanthus plant, the fragrance of the plant flowers is infiltrated into the tea leaves through gas-liquid circulation technology, and then the tea leaves are softened through a special processing technique, making it less likely to break under the action of pressure. The coarse leaves of white leaf Dancong tea are mostly unfolded leaves with large surface area, and are better at absorbing odors and preventing moisture. Moreover, their ability to emit tea fragrance is much stronger than that of fine leaves with small surface area and relatively strong texture. Therefore, they are often the preferred filling material for tea pillows.

Tea pillow maintenance

To use tea pillows scientifically, air the pillow core at least twice a month. After airing, pat the pillow core gently with your hands to loosen the tea leaves, which improves the comfort of the tea pillow. The tea aroma can last for about 2-3 years. During use, be sure to keep the tea pillow dry so that the pillow core will not get moldy. Tea leaves themselves have antibacterial and anti-mildew properties, and simply by drying them in the sun they can be restored to their original properties and aroma.

Tea characteristics

Tea pillow is related to the main characteristics of tea :

(1) Hygroscopicity: Because tea contains many hydrophilic components, such as sugars, polyphenols, proteins, pectin, etc. At the same time, tea leaves have a porous structure, which determines that they have strong hygroscopicity.

(2) Odor absorption: The ability of tea to absorb odors is due to the presence of palmitic acid, rare terpenes and other substances in tea and the porosity of its tissue structure. Based on this characteristic of tea, people consciously use it to cellar various scented teas to improve their drinking value. On the other hand, it is strictly forbidden to store and transport tea together with odorous or toxic items to avoid the tea from being deteriorated and contaminated.

effect

"Cold head, hot feet", "Aromatherapy", "Medicinal ingredients in tea"

1. "Cold head and hot feet". Experts point out that when people sleep, the head should keep a certain coolness. If a person sleeps on a pillow with a temperature above 40 degrees, he will die within three months. If a person's feet are frozen and swollen for three consecutive months, he will die within three months. Therefore, the ancients used a lot of words to explain that using stone, jade, bamboo, etc. as pillows is very beneficial to the human body's health, because stone, jade, and bamboo are cool in nature. When people sleep on a cotton pillow, their heads sink deeply into it, which causes oppression and poor blood circulation in the head. In addition, cotton is not easy to dissipate heat, so people will feel anxious, depressed and dizzy after sleeping for a long time. For example, people will feel dizzy when using a cotton pillow in summer. They can put a bamboo mat or other cool thing on the cotton pillow and feel comfortable. The tea pillow is made of a cool plant. Its coolness dissipates slowly, making people feel comfortable, and the air in the tea leaves inside the pillow is circulating. However, the coolness of stone and jade dissipates instantly, making people feel uncomfortable.
