There is a belief among the Japanese that sleeping on a buckwheat mattress is he althy and allows you to rest well. Buckwheat hulls contain tannin, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and mites. This is one of the reasons why natural medicine specialists highly recommend mattresses with buckwheat hull.
Mattressesand pillows are made of newer and newer materials to satisfy all tastes and relieve people suffering from various ailments. Recently, specialistsof natural medicinerecommend sleeping on a mattress filled with buckwheat husk, i.e. a hard and dry cover of buckwheat grain.
A he althy person changes position about 200 times during sleep. The traditionalpillowthen becomes hard, flat and uncomfortable. That is why we often wake up in the morning with pain in the neck or the entire spine. Meanwhile, buckwheat scales easily adapt to our shape and during the night's rest, the head, neck and the rest of the body have a solid support. The spine and neck are relieved. Buckwheat is resistant to crushing. It flows freely, does not clump, so that pillows or mattresses do not lose their original shape and are therefore always comfortable. They are also suitable for the chronically ill because they protect against bedsores. Such a natural filling strongly absorbs moisture. The heat exchange between the scales and the air is quick and in summer the mattress or pillow is pleasantly cool.
How to keep buckwheat bedding clean?
We wash the covers. The husks should be poured into a bowl and aired for several hours. Put it back into the cover. If the pillow or mattress gets wet, dry it well.
The tannin contained in the husks has anti-inflammatory properties and inhibits the growth of bacteria and mites. Experts say that buckwheat hulls neutralize the harmful electromagnetic radiation produced by almost all household appliances.
You should put a buckwheat pillow under your back during a long car drive. For those who spend many hours in a sitting position, the rim-shaped pads filled with scales, which are placed on the chair, will help. They prevent backbone and coccyx pains.
