Making a pillow with orange peel not only helps clear the heart and blood vessels, but can also relieve symptoms of high blood pressure. The fresh scent unique to orange peel can also help with sleep.

Making a pillow with orange peel

Has unexpected magical effects!

Prevents cerebral infarction

An orange peel pillow can speed up blood circulation in the human brain, help prevent blood vessels from aging and hardening, and has a certain preventive effect on cerebral infarction in humans.

In addition, orange peel also has certain anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effects. People who regularly use pillows made from it can also reduce the harm some viruses do to human cells, and can significantly lower the incidence of cancer.

Clears heat and reduces internal fire, lowers blood pressure

Dried orange peel stuffed into a pillow can clear heat and reduce inflammation. For people with excessive internal heat, it has a good relieving effect, and long-term use can reduce the occurrence of various symptoms of internal heat.

Calms the mind and soothes the nerves, aids sleep

Calming the mind and soothing the nerves is an important effect of an orange peel pillow. Orange peel contains a large amount of natural volatile oil, and once made into a pillow it is even more fresh and pleasant. Through human breathing, the volatile oil enters the body, thereby regulating nerves and calming the mind, and it has a good relieving effect on insomnia and neurasthenia in humans.

Make it into a cylindrical shape, and neck problems are solved too

Dried orange peel itself has a certain hardness, which can support the pillow and help restore the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine, rather than being soft and collapsing as soon as you press it. Moreover, this hardness is not strong; while it can provide a massaging effect, there is no need to worry about injuring the cervical spine.

How to make it

Place orange peel on clean paper and put it in the sunlight. When it is half-dry, cut the orange peel into thin strips or small cubes. Put the dried orange peel into a pillowcase and it is done!

Precautions

1. Orange peel is not easy to cut before it is dried, and if it is dried too much it will break apart when cut, so the half-dry state is best.

2. It is best to place it on cardboard or cloth, which allows air through and also absorbs moisture. Do not place it on plastic sheeting, as it easily accumulates moisture and does not allow air through.

3. The pillowcase material should be chosen with a relatively high fabric density, to prevent the orange peel from leaking out over time.

4. Orange peel kept indoors for a long time is prone to dampness and mildew, and at that point the orange peel will no longer have these functions, so it should be cleaned out and replaced in time.

One piece of orange peel is comparable to 8 traditional Chinese medicines

After eating oranges, most people casually throw away the orange peel. Actually, you are being too wasteful; this "waste" is really a treasure! Not only can it be made into a pillow to clear blood vessels, it also has many other clever uses.

1. Prevents motion sickness

One hour before getting in the car, take fresh orange peel, fold it inward into two layers, aim it at the nostrils, and squeeze and pinch the orange peel with your fingers. Countless fine jets of orange oil mist will spray out and be inhaled into the nostrils. After getting in the car, continue squeezing and inhaling at any time, which can effectively prevent motion sickness.

2. Treats cough

Take 5 grams of dried orange peel, add 2 cups of water and decoct into a soup, then add a small amount of minced ginger and brown sugar and take it while hot. Alternatively, take an appropriate amount of fresh orange peel, chop it, brew it with boiling water, add white sugar and drink it as tea, which has the effect of resolving phlegm and stopping cough.

3. Regulates qi and relieves bloating

Brew fresh orange peel in boiling water and add an appropriate amount of white sugar to make orange peel tea. After drinking it, it can regulate qi, relieve bloating, promote fluid production, and moisten the throat.

4. Treats bad breath

Take 30 grams of orange peel and decoct in water to drink as tea to treat bad breath.

5. Stops stomach pain

Dried orange peel not only has a special fragrance, but also has anti-inflammatory effects and can regulate gastrointestinal function. If stomach pain or stomach discomfort is caused by irregular eating or overeating, drinking some orange peel water can provide a certain relieving effect.

6. Treats wind-cold common cold

Decoct fresh orange peel and ginger slices in water with an appropriate amount of brown sugar and drink it, which can treat wind-cold, common cold, vomiting, and cough.

7. Regulates qi and relieves bloating

Brew fresh orange peel in boiling water and add an appropriate amount of white sugar to make orange peel tea. After drinking it, it can regulate qi, relieve bloating, promote fluid production, and moisten the throat.

8. Treats chilblains

First roast orange peel over fire until scorched, grind it into powder, then mix it evenly with vegetable oil and apply it to the affected area to treat chilblains.

Orange peel can also be used in cooking

When cooking porridge, brewing tea, or stir-frying dishes, add a few pieces of orange peel. Not only does it taste fragrant and refreshing, it also stimulates the appetite and cuts greasiness.

Orange peel porridge:

When cooking rice porridge, before the porridge comes to a boil, add a few small pieces of orange peel. After the porridge is cooked, it is fragrant, delicious, and appetite-stimulating, and for people with chest and abdominal fullness or cough with much phlegm, it can serve a dietary therapeutic purpose.

Orange peel soup:

When making meat soup or pork rib soup, add a few pieces of orange peel. The soup tastes fresh and delicious, with a faint orange flavor and no greasy feeling.

Orange peel tea:

Cut cleaned orange peel into strips, cubes, or pieces. When using it, you can brew it alone with boiling water, or drink it together with tea leaves. Not only is the taste fragrant, it also has the effects of stimulating the appetite, promoting qi flow, and refreshing the mind.

Next time your family eats oranges, do not throw away the peel again. Keep it to use as medicine or make a pillow, and let it be of great use! Remind more relatives and friends that this method is simple and easy, and anyone can do it~
