Is the Cassia Seed pillow good for babies?

In the market, we often see some Chinese medicine pillows. Merchants say that this kind of Chinese medicine pillow can effectively help us sleep, or help our bodies. We also often hear about Cassia seeds, but when we use Cassia seeds, we are adults. So, is it good for babies to use Cassia seeds pillows? Next, I will introduce you to baby pillows with Cassia seeds.

It is not recommended to use Chinese medicine as a pillow for babies, because these medicines may have a certain impact on babies, that is, they still have certain side effects on babies. As for the diarrhea, sleeplessness at night, and other problems you mentioned, they are not necessarily all side effects of Cassia Seed. These are all experienced during the growth stage of babies. My child also had the problem of sleeplessness at night, but it will naturally get better as he grows up. So it is better to use an ordinary pillow.

The entire period from newborn to six months old is an important period for the baby's head development. If the pillow is used improperly, it may not only cause head deformity, but also affect the healthy development of the baby's spine. The quality of sleep during the child's growth stage seriously affects the child's intelligence and brain power. Because of the author's preference for slow-rebound memory foam products, I believe that for adults, the best pillow material is slow-rebound memory foam, and the same is true for children. Therefore, the following recommendations are based on safe, healthy and harmless slow-rebound memory foam materials. Cassia seed is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is the mature seed of Cassia obtusifolia, an annual herb of the Leguminosae family. Sweet, bitter, slightly cold; liver meridian entered. It has the effects of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, lowering blood pressure and lowering serum cholesterol.

For external use as pillows, use 3-4 kg of raw cassia seeds and put them in a cloth bag to make a pillow. Cassia seed is slightly cold in nature, with a slight scent of grass. When you use it as a pillow to sleep and smell the scent, it feels like sleeping in green grass. Its seeds are hard and can be used to massage the acupoints on the head and neck, so they have an auxiliary effect on headaches, dizziness, insomnia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cervical spondylosis, etc. caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. In fact, newborns do not need pillows! The spine of a newborn baby is straight. When lying flat, the back and the back of the head are in the same plane. The neck and back muscles are naturally relaxed. When lying on the side, the head and body are also in the same plane. If the pillow is raised, it will easily cause the neck to bend, and some may even cause breathing difficulties, thus affecting normal growth and development. Therefore, newborns do not need pillows. However, in order to prevent spitting up, the upper body of the newborn can be raised appropriately if necessary. When the baby is 3 months old, he begins to learn to lift his head, and the cervical spine begins to show a forward physiological curvature. Babies start learning to sit at 6 months old, and the thoracic spine begins to show a physiological backward curvature, and the shoulders also grow and widen. If no pillow is used at this time, the head position will be low, which will cause more blood to flow to the brain than when a pillow is used, which may affect the baby's sleep. Therefore, babies should start using pillows at 3 months old.

During the infancy of infants, their bodies or resistance or immunity are not fully formed. It is better for infants to use ordinary pillows. As for Cassia seed pillows, it is better to let the children use them when they are older, because Chinese medicine is not good for our infants' bodies.
