What is the function of mung bean pillow

The main principle of the mung bean skin pillow is to use the volatilization of the medicine, allowing the medicinal gas to enter the body through breathing, and then slowly and continuously exert its medicinal effect. Young people can use mung bean skin pillows alone, while middle-aged and elderly people can add chrysanthemum, cassia seed, etc. to achieve the effect of calming the mind and improving eyesight.

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".
