What good are the so-called therapeutic herbal pillows?
With stress and life we all have with our obligations and pressures, is common for us to suffer back and neck pains. We suffer headaches, spasms, grips... these pillows are filled with many seeds, such as soy, corn, buckwheat, cinnamon, lavender... they are ideal to relax thanks its adaptation to our body and its ability to transmit temperature depending on whether put them in the microwave or in the refrigerator:
- Hot serves to reduce the symptoms of arthritis, back, cramping, muscle or neck pain.
- Cold help against inflammations, bruises, Carpal tunnelsyndrome, fever, tired feet, migraine/stress...
How can I do my herbal pillow and how should I use it?
What do I need?
- Cotton fabric that we can enter into the microwave (also you can reuse a towel, for example). It is normal to make a not excessively large pillow , one of 50 cm x 35 cm, would be ideal, but it all depends on your own needs.
- We can fill the pillow of what you like, give you an idea: seeds are soybeans, corn, rice, buckwheat... We recommend especially chickpeas, because they can give one hour of heat, and are fantastic for its rounded shape back. Cherry bones, for example also retain heat for a long time. Quantities you will have to adjust them to you according to how big or how small you want to make the cushion. You can also enter lavender, cinnamon or herbs you want, since when we heated the pillow will be the smell. Ve adjusting the quantities of the seeds, we recommend that you include mostly chickpeas.
How do I do it?
- Does you good sewing? The first thing we will do is our pad, our therapeutic pillow. Cut the fabric with the shape that you want and view sewing it, leaving an opening to introduce the seeds.
- The second step is to enter the seed. Remember not to fill it too, keep a medium term, that is soft but never tight. Gradually introduces the seeds you've chosen and sew this opening so no seed does not escape. It's very easy!
How do I use it?
When is recommended using the hot pillow? We will use it in its hot form when it hurts the neck, when we have pains menstrual, cramps, muscle aches, arthritis, colds... We put it in the microwave one minute and go testing. Never put it for more than 5 minutes or we run the risk of burning, always at short intervals to keep trying.
When is recommended using the cold pillow? It is very suitable when you feel e.g. headache, toothache, fever, inflammation, or when you want to cool off a bit.
Point out you that normally the pillow has a duration of one year, but if at some point you wish to put other seeds or add other aromatic plants don't have more to open it again and do it. It is an economical, simple and very effective idea. ! Try it!
