DreamTime Reveals Asian Secret for Pain Relief And Insomnia
Santa Cruz, California (PRWEB) July 03, 2013 -- DreamTime launches natural buckwheat hull pillows, an “Asian Secret,” for the relief of neck pain, back pain, headaches, muscle tension, snoring, TMJ syndrome, torticolis, sleeplessness, and other conditions.
What is Buckwheat?
Buckwheat is a crop plant grown in Asia that has been used widely in Asian foods as an affordable grain and turned into cheap flour for noodles and other products. The buckwheat seed has a tough, but thin hard shell. It’s this shell or hull that’s used as an alternative filling in pillows and other upholstered products. The hulls used in this manner are valued for their durability and therapeutic uses.
Buckwheat pillows have been popular and respected in Asia for over 300 years, and are now a choice material in yoga studios for meditation pillows and bolsters. This all-natural plant material has also been a mainstay in the Asian sleep industry for centuries.
Growing in popularity with the evolution of the Green Movement and now recommended by health care professionals, DreamTime’s therapeutic supportive pillows are filled with premium grade, natural, triple cleansed buckwheat hulls.
Why Buckwheat Hull Filling?
The natural filling has many advantages over conventional fiberfill, foam, or feather fillings. The most important quality for the relief of pain is that the material conforms to the exact contours of the head and neck providing a compliant passive support. This means that the same amount of support is in all areas thus minimizing the stress on all areas of support. Other filling materials, which compress, try to recover their original shape and this puts stress on the muscles of the neck. Other advantages of the buckwheat hull filling are the "cool in the summer, warm in the winter" insulating properties, the ability to adjust the size to the individual's needs by removing or adding back filler so the pillow fits just right. The filling also lasts for many years making the pillow the best value cervical pillow on the market. Long after other pillows have collapsed and worn out, a buckwheat hull pillow will still be fully functional. Plus, buckwheat hull pillows are environmentally friendly.
The Benefits of Buckwheat Pillows:
For centuries people throughout Asia have praised the value of Buckwheat Pillows.
1) Comfort:
The hulls allow air to circulate so the upper body remains cool in the summer. It can also provide cold therapy by refrigerating or freezing the pillow. This is quite useful for pain relief and the reduction of swelling. Since the Buckwheat is adjustable, it contours to the shape of the body giving good shoulders, head and neck support. Many report a reduction in pain and headaches as muscles unwind and relax.
2) Natural material:
Made from 100% all natural materials, these pillows are great for people with allergies and for those who are environmentally and chemically sensitive. Buckwheat is resistant to any dust mite infestation.
3) Less disposable:
Great for the environment, these pillows can last upwards of 20 years. To be refreshed, the zippered pillowcases can be emptied out and washed, and the buckwheat hulls placed in the sun before refilling.
How to use Buckwheat Pillows for sleeping:
Make sure the pillow is abundantly filled with buckwheat hulls, this allows adjusting the depth of the pillow so it fits perfectly. The buckwheat hulls conform to the exact contour of the head and neck, giving the same amount of support in all areas, while minimizing any stress.
For side sleepers, the most ideal position is for the head and shoulders to be in alignment with support under your neck. For back sleepers, the pillow can comfortably support the curve of the neck.
Overtime the hulls become polished, making the pillows even more pliable and comfortable. Give it a little time to adjust to the newness, and enjoy a pain-free night’s sleep.
