"Have you ever heard of the uncle who sleeps on a mugwort leaf pillow?
Teacher Liu said that the 62-year-old middle school history teacher always likes to spice things up between classes. On this day, he was lying on the couch in the teacher's lounge, his head resting on his magical mugwort pillow.
Since his retirement, Mr. Liu has lived in a quiet neighborhood in Beijing, and in addition to teaching online every day, his interest is to pay attention to various traditional Chinese medicine health methods.
Two years ago, by chance, he bought a mugwort leaf pillow at a traditional Chinese medicine fair. The salesperson said the pillow improved sleep and could also help relieve headaches and shoulder pain. Although Mr. Liu was skeptical, he thought, anyway, it's not expensive, so it's okay to try.
At first, Mr. Liu didn't think it was any different, but every night when he went to bed, he could smell a faint herbal scent, and he felt quite comfortable. However, it didn't take long for him to notice that his headaches were noticeably less frequent, and the heaviness that he used to feel like his shoulders were pressed by something when he was tense was gradually gone.
One day two years later, Mr. Liu went to the hospital for a phased physical examination. The results of the examination were surprising, because not only his blood pressure was normal, but even the small problems that had plagued him for many years were inexplicably improved. The doctor was very surprised by his improvement, especially after learning that he used mugwort leaf pillows every day.
"Artemisia?" the doctor furrowed, clearly curious about this non-traditional treatment. "Artemisia leaves have many medicinal properties, and it has been recorded in history that they are used to ward off cold and detoxify and improve blood circulation. However, it is rare to see such a significant improvement in health. ”
This experience made Mr. Liu deeply interested in the utility of mugwort leaves. He began to study mugwort leaves and other traditional Chinese medicine materials.
From various materials, Mr. Liu learned that mugwort leaves are rich in volatile oils, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The antimicrobial effect of mugwort leaves can effectively inhibit certain skin pathogens and common pathogens. In addition, mugwort leaves also contain ingredients that can promote blood circulation, which may be one of the reasons why Mr. Liu feels more relaxed.
Some specific components in mugwort leaves can have a positive effect on certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which in turn can help relieve stress and anxiety.
In this regard, Mr. Liu often said: "Don't underestimate these old methods, those magical herbs, sometimes the effect is more powerful than those chemical pills." Although sometimes other teachers may be skeptical when he says this, Mr. Liu himself is really convinced.
Gradually, Mr. Liu began to promote his experience with mugwort pillows. Whenever a colleague complains of insomnia or shoulder and neck pain, he always gushes about the benefits of mugwort leaf pillows. However, he also noticed that while most people had positive feedback after using it, the difference in effectiveness was also quite large. Some people have little to no reaction, while others have great results.
When Mr. Liu told his colleagues about this time during the recess, he always liked to add comments: "You see, it's not just random, it's all based on science." ”
After a long time, Mr. Liu himself has become the "Ai Ye Promotion Ambassador" in the community. He often shares his experience at health talks in the community and emphasizes the benefits of mugwort leaf pillows, as well as the appropriate use and expected results.
One day, Aunt Zhang in the community came to consult with Teacher Liu: "Teacher Liu, I heard from you that the mugwort pillow seems to be very good, and I want to try it too." But I have high blood pressure, will there be a problem with this mugwort leaf?"
Teacher Liu replied with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry about this. Artemisia itself has a certain regulatory effect, which is a good thing for patients with high blood pressure. ”
"However, in your case, I still recommend trying a small amount first, using a mugwort leaf pillow every night, and gradually increasing the use time if you feel comfortable. ”
"Actually, I also had high blood pressure before, and after using the mugwort leaf pillow, my blood pressure has stabilized a lot. Of course, these natural remedies can help with improvement, but the most important thing is to follow your doctor's advice, eat properly and exercise properly, and don't rely too much on any single therapy. ”
Ms. Liu found that although the effects of mugwort leaf vary from person to person, most users reported positive improvements, especially in terms of sleep quality, shoulder and neck pain, and stress relief.
