Oranges are a common fruit in our lives. After eating oranges, we often throw away the peels without thinking twice. However, what many people don't realize is that even a small orange peel can be very useful. Making a pillow with orange peels not only helps cool the body and relieve heat, but its unique fragrance also helps calm the mind and promote better sleep!
【How to Make an Orange Peel Pillow】
1. Place the orange peels on a clean piece of paper and let them dry in the sun until they are half-dry. Then, cut the orange peels into thin strips or cubes.
2. It is not easy to cut the orange peels before they are dried, and if they are too dry, they will break easily. So, the half-dry state is the best. It is recommended to place them on a cardboard or cloth that allows ventilation and absorbs moisture. Do not place them on plastic sheets, as they may accumulate moisture and lack ventilation.
3. Put the dried orange peels into a pillowcase. It is best to choose a pillowcase made of dense fabric to prevent the leakage of orange peels over time.
4. Be aware that if the orange peels are left indoors for a long time, they may become damp and moldy. At that time, the orange peels will lose their functions. Therefore, it is important to clean and replace them in a timely manner.
【Benefits of Orange Peel Pillow】
1. Prevents Stroke
An orange peel pillow can accelerate the blood circulation in the human brain, preventing blood vessels from aging and becoming stiff. This has a certain preventive effect on strokes. Additionally, orange peels have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Using pillows made from orange peels can reduce the damage of certain viruses to human cells and significantly lower the incidence of cancer.
2. Clears Heat and Relieves Fire
A pillow filled with dried orange peels can help clear heat and inflammation. It has a good relieving effect on people who have excessive internal heat, and long-term use can reduce the occurrence of various symptoms of "heatiness".
3. Calms and Soothes the Mind
Calming and soothing the mind is an important function of an orange peel pillow. Orange peels contain a large amount of natural volatile oils. After being made into a pillow, the fragrance is refreshing. Through inhalation, the volatile oils enter the human body, effectively regulating the nerves and calming the mind. It has a good relieving effect on insomnia and neurosis.
