Buckwheat Pillows

     Buckwheat pillow buyers can be a curious lot, but I don’t blame them. Many of them have never had any experience with a buckwheat pillow, so a degree of curiosity is a healthy trait.

     I had someone email me a couple of questions I’d never gotten before, one to which I’d never given any thought. I’ll just give you the context of their email.

     ” I have never used these pillows before, but would really like to try them. How long have you been in business is my first question and secondly, I have read where some say that you should use a buckwheat pillow that is somewhat smaller than standard. Is that true? Thanks!”

     So here is my answer to them.

     I just learned something. I’m from South Central Pennsylvania, and my wife and I just had a discussion (argument) about how to spell “read” when used in the context of “Go read (red) up your room”, meaning to put your room in order, or organize your room.

     She insisted that “read” is not how it should be spelled. I asked her how it should be spelled. She didn’t know, but was sure “read” was not the proper way.

     So I Googled it. That’s when I learned something. While “reading something up” is an expression that I use, or hear, (meaning to organize and properly arrange”, nearly every day, it apparently is not an expression that is in wide spread use. After much effort I finally found one example of it’s use on Google.

     So I suppose that if I go to some other part of the country and tell someone that I need “to read (pronounced red) up my room”, they won’t know what I need to do.

     That’s just amazing to me, because from the time I was old enough to understand words, one of the most detested words, and one of the very first instructional utterances I ever got, was to “go read up my room”. It was also one of the first, and certainly one of the most frequent, instructions I delivered to my son. Unfortunately, it had the same impact on both of us.

     Zilch.

      Now I suppose you”re going to try to tell me that is not a word. Well, I Googled it and it came up quite handily. At least, after all this effort, I did win the argument with my wife regarding the spelling of “read” (pronounced red) as used in this context.

      I’m feeling quite pleased with the results of today, so far. I’ve won an argument with my wife, and also learned something quite novel. I realize I know the meaning of a word that is apparently virtually unknown by millions of Americans. Life is good.

1 Key To Sleep Relief

     Natural sleep aids, to be really effective, need to address more than one issue. Two of the more common ones are pain relief and comfort.

      It goes without saying, that it’s difficult to achieve satisfactory, refreshing sleep, when you’re dealing with either pain, particularly neck pain, or any degree of discomfort.

     People’s first inclination today seems to be to reach for the pill bottle. We are becoming a nation dependent on chemicals.

 Sooner or later, in one way or another, they eventually come back to bite you. This is as inevitable as depending on the government to be your nanny. History and evidence prove these points over and over. There is a lot of truth in that old axiom about those who ignore the lessons of history being doomed to repeat them.

     May I submit to you, that one of the simpler, but more effective natural sleep remedies, is the venerable buckwheat hull pillow. Having been used for that purpose for thousands of years, it has obviously proven itself through a long history. Pay heed to the lessons of history.

     While generally having been believed to be an invention from the Orient, more recent evidence indicates that they actually imported their appreciation for the therapeutic benefits of the buckwheat pillow from ancient Egyptians, going back many more thousands of years than what was previously believed.

     So, as a part of your regimen to attack the age old problem of acquiring adequate and gratifying sleep, take a lesson from history, and invest in a quality, organic, buckwheat pillow. They provide advantages no conventional pillow can match when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep.

     Natural sleep aids that work, are far superior to the chemical kind, for a number of reasons. There are no side effects. This is important both short term and long term.

     Sleeping pills, often in spite of what they sometimes advertise, often leave you feeling groggy or strung out the next morning. Worse, you  soon find yourself dependent on them, which amounts to a form of addiction.

     Your body has enough to deal with in trying to stay healthy in today’s chemically dependent world. Just the chemicals saturating the water, the prepared foods, and virtually everything we eat, drink, breath, or touch, is enough to eventually simply overwhelm our bodies defenses.

      It’s no wonder degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, strokes, and heart disease, just to mention a few, are becoming so prevalent. While we’re trying to sleep should be a time for our body to recuperate from the chemical attacks it’s tried to fend off all day.

     The last thing we should do while we sleep is saturate it with more chemicals as it’s trying to recuperate. So what’s a body to do, if you just really need some help falling and staying asleep, you ask.

     There are a number of remedies you can avail yourself of, and the use of a combination of these may well be the answer to your problem. Some of them may require a little willpower initially, like forgoing that before bed dish of chocolate ice cream, or whatever your particular culinary, before bed time, weakness happens to be.

     For most people, a relatively cool bedroom helps (helps with the heat bill, too). If you like to go to bed with the TV or radio on, that’s generally advised to be a no no. If your sleeping quarters are subject to extraneous noise, you might invest in one of those “white noise” transmitters.

     Try to wind down before retiring. Relax with a book, or soothing music, and maybe sip on some chamomile tea (it has a calming influence). Some say sex can put you in a relaxed mood. I couldn’t say. I’m 72. I don’t remember.

     Comfort is paramount. Perhaps soft flannel sheets, or maybe you should try the new bamboo sheets. Sleeping in the buff can be a most relaxing sleeping style for some. I can think of a few situations where this may not be advisable.

     There are quite a few websites that offer many more suggestions along these lines. However, having said all this, I have saved my best and most promising natural sleep aid until last.

     Now, being an honest man, I must tell you that I have a vested interest in this most promising natural sleeping aid. I sell these. What are these? These are organic, handcrafted buckwheat hull pillows. I sell the highest quality buckwheat pillows I can find, because quality is the key when it comes to buckwheat pillows.

     Their biggest advantages are twofold. First, they possess a characteristic called malleability. This means that they conform to the exact curvature of your head and neck, providing perfectly even support to that  cervical area. This is critical to sleeping comfort.

      Nature provides this unique characteristic by providing minute ridges on the buckwheat hulls, which causes them to cling to each other just enough to provide this malleability factor. Interestingly, this characteristic actually improves with use as they polish slightly.

     Secondly, they have a discreetly concealed nylon zipper, which allows you to adjust the volume of buckwheat hulls in your pillow to your exact comfort level. No conventional foam or feather pillow can compete. To get the full story (there’s lots more), just go to www.buckwheatglory.com.

      Buckwheat pillows, or to be more precise, the reasons that you need to sleep on one, have been the focus of nearly all of my blogging efforts to date. I’ve been bombarding you with all the logical and sensible reasons I know of to convince you that a buckwheat pillow is the be all and end all of the pillow choices of the world.

       You are all probably getting very bored and tired of my relentless advocacy of the reasons you have to sleep on one of my buckwheat pillows. About now, I’ll bet many of you wish I would just throw in the towel, and say something like “I give up. If I haven’t been able to convince you by now that you absolutely need a buckwheat pillow to get a really good night’s sleep, then you must be simply unteachable. I’m not wasting any more  time and effort on you.”

     Well, maybe you wish I would, and maybe some of you think I will.

     If so, you will be disappointed, primarily because my efforts have been too  successful to even consider doing that. The sales of my buckwheat pillows have been almost doubling each month. This, in spite of a very adverse economy.

     My only problem is that I feel like I’m sort of in a rut. I’ve been explaining , and promoting, and cajoling, and marketing, until I feel like I need to take a break from pursuing this angle. But I’m afraid to deviate from my path, because of the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” credo.

     However, on reflection, I don’t know if my success is actually the result of anything so tenuous as just my proficiency at expounding on the desireability of sleeping on  buckwheat pillows. I believe an appreciable amount of my business comes from word of mouth of my satisfied customers, because I notice that a fair amount of my customers addresses seem to be clustered in certain areas.

     This indicates to me that happy customers are quietly spreading the word to their friends and relatives, and I know for sure, that many customers return and buy additional pillows for other family members and friends.

      I’ve also noticed an increase in the number of  comments being typed in on the orders, telling me that they were ordering because of others telling them how much they loved sleeping on their buckwheat pillows they had purchased from me.

     May I take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been so gracious as to share  your experiences of sleeping bliss with your friends and relatives. Nothing that I could say in my promotions could ever have the impact that your testimonies, as a satisfied customer, do.

     I appreciate this very much, as do, I’m sure, the friends and relatives to whom you have conveyed your satisfaction.

     And to those of you, my customers who have not been sharing your experiences of sleeping bliss with your acquaintances, please do. They will be forever grateful.

     Don’t take this to mean that I promise that every single person will find a buckwheat pillow to be the answer to their quest for the perfect pillow. I mean, to be perfectly honest, it’s like, there are people out there who do not like chocolate, or moonlight nights.

     However, I do guarantee your purchase price back for one full year if you are not satisfied , so why would you not at least give them a try? The chance of anyone not finding them to be more than satisfactory has proven to be very slim.

     You know, I started out with this blog post, thinking I was going to give you and myself a big break. I was not going to promote, per se, buckwheat pillows. I was not going to explain, again, why you should buy a buckwheat pillow.

     Guess what! I think I’ve succeeded. Instead of explaining why you should buy one, I’ve just explained why you should help me sell some. I’m beginning to think I’m a marketing genius (lol).

     I just hope you all have as much satisfaction in sharing your love of buckwheat pillows, or more precisely, your love of blissful sleep, as I do.

     Sleep tight.

Blissful sleep is universally desired, but is also universally very elusive. It requires a complex plethora of conditions to come together in order to be satisfactorily achieved.

That is not to say you can’t fall asleep at all, but just falling asleep is not the equivalent of what I mean by blissful sleep. There is a difference.

If only a few things which contribute to blissful sleep are missing, you probably won’t experience it. One important thing often missing is a really comfortable pillow.

Different people find different kinds of pillows to be most conducive to blissful sleep. Most people have some idea of the pillow characteristics which they feel would most likely best suit their needs.

However, these ideas are somewhat preconceived, based on their experience with the pillows they have slept on in the past. If there is a pillow with which they have had no previous experience, especially if it is totally adjustable as to their own personal comfort requirements, they would be well advised to experiment with that pillow.

Buckwheat pillows are not like other pillows. They are not soft, like down. They are not compressable like foam. They are malleable, a new term when it comes to pillows.

Well, not exactly new, since they have been in use nearly 3,000 years in the Orient. But here, most people have had no experience with a buckwheat pillow.

For some, like me, that first experience is all they need. For others, it may take a little getting used to. I thank my lucky stars that I made the effort to experiment with buckwheat pillows, because I know now that I never really knew what blissful sleep was before I started sleeping on a buckwheat pillow.

Just buy from a vendor (like me) who offers a full year money back satisfaction guarantee at www.buckwheatglory.com.

For Neck Pain - Buckwheat Pillows

     Buckwheat pillows are becoming more and more universally recognized as an important tool in therapeutic pain relief in the spinal as well as other skeletal and neurological areas by chiropractors and other medical professionals. The wide recognition of this frequently results in questions being raised as to how best to make use of these buckwheat pillows in alleviating various pains and maladies.

     My answer to these queries, is that a professional chiropractor or therapist would be the proper venue in which to seek these answers. These problems can be very complex, sometimes having their origins in parts of the body located no where near the perceived pain.

     I can envision a scenario in which, by relieving some local pain or discomfort, a person could cause more harm than good. Perhaps applying the comforting support of a buckwheat pillow to your back, or under a hip, to provide relief on a temporary basis to allow you to get a good night’s sleep until you can get a professional diagnosis would not be a bad idea.

     Treating your back or hip pain, over a prolonged period without professional medical advice, may be analogous to medicating  miss-diagnosed heart burn with anti-acids. This often results in masking a serious heart condition that may result in a heart attack. Better safe than sorry.

     None of what I’m saying should be mis-construed to mean that buckwheat pillows are not helpful in providing relief of back, neck, or hip pain. Chiropractors advise their patients to use buckwheat pillows to provide support to backs, hips, necks, etc. on an ever increasing frequency, after they have performed a professional diagnosis of the problem.

    If you, or someone you know, is experiencing discomfort from what you perceive to be a misaligned vertebrae, pinched sciatic nerve, etc., my advise would be to make an appointment with a chiropractor, and ask them if a buckwheat pillow would be helpful in your treatment. They should then advise you on how best to benefit from various applications of them.

For Neck Pain - Buckwheat Pillows

     Neck and back pain are one of the primary adversaries when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. Buckwheat pillows are one of the primary adversaries to neck and back pain. Sleep Awareness Month seems to me to be an appropriate time to discuss the relationship between spinal support and getting blissful sleep, and how buckwheat pillows factor into this equation.

     I have here a very helpful tool in explaining how the different areas of the spine relate to problems in different areas of the body, any one of which may contribute to deficiencies in the quality of our sleep. Even if you’re not experiencing any problems now, it’s not a bad idea to do whatever you can to prevent future problomatic situations from arising.

     While I usually promote buckwheat pillows for use in the normal aspect of sleeping with your head on a pillow, they actually provide many people with support to other areas of their spines while sleeping or resting. By moving your mouse from one area to another over the spine, you can see the various areas impacted by the different portions of the spine. Click here to view what I’m talking about. http://www.chiroone.net/library/index.html.

     Keep Sleep Awareness Month in mind as you peruse the areas impacted by various parts of your spine. Can you see how some buckwheat pillows placed at strategic points could greatly improve your chances of blissful sleep?

I CAN HELP

     Buckwheat pillows for neck and back pain are what chiropractors are advising for their patients suffering from these maladies. Buckwheat pillows have this unique characteristic known as malleability. This is due to the tiny ridges on the buckwheat hulls which cause the individual hulls to adhere to each other just enough to provide gentle support. At the same time they allow you to change position effortlessly.

     No other filling has this same quality. The pain relief provided by these pillows is not limited to joint and muscle pain. They also give relief to many who suffer from migraine headaches, and those who simply have trouble falling or staying asleep.

     Lots of people, though, who wouldn’t dream of sleeping on anything but a buckwheat pillow, actually have none of the aforementioned problems. They simply wouldn’t use any other pillow only because they just love that blissful sleep they enjoy night after night.

     Have you ever wakened up at night with your pillow feeling hot and clammy? That’s because conventional foam and feather pillows act as insulation, trapping all that heat generated from your head as you sleep. Buckwheat hulls allow air circulation in between themselves, thus that heat is circulated away from your head as you sleep.

     Have you ever heard the term, blissful sleep? Well, whether you suffer from neck and back pain, or you simply appreciate blissful sleep, a buckwheat pillow will do the trick. Of course you have to actually buy them and sleep on them to experience this blissful sleep. So invest in yours now. Especially now, as I have all of them on sale at the moment. May you have blissful sleep for 30 % of the rest of your life. 30 % is the approximate amount of our lives that we spend sleeping. Now go order your blissful sleep.

For Neck Pain - Buckwheat Pillows

     Buckwheat pillows for neck and lower back pain are highly recommended by chiropractors and surgeons. I didn’t realize the extent of this until I started noticing that concentrations of my customers seemed to be developing for reasons unbeknownst to me. I came to find out they were developing in the areas of chiropractic clinics which were recommending my buckwheat pillows to their clients.

     I’ve always been operating on the principle that most buckwheat pillows were sold for the purpose of providing blissful sleep to those of us who are simply looking for a really good night’s sleep. Now, I’m thinking maybe I should rethink that premise.

     Since I’ve never really had a neck or back pain problem, except for a very occasional “crick” in the back, I just never really realized how many people do suffer from chronic back and neck pain. Maybe I’m not subject to the problem because I’ve been using buckwheat pillows on which to sleep for so long.

     I certainly don’t ever want to be guilty of inferring that someone has to have a chronic neck or back pain problem to appreciate the comfort provided by buckwheat pillows, but I now realize that this affliction is much more pervasive than I had previously realized, and may be accountable for far more sales than I had thought.

     So if you, or any of your acquaintances do have neck or back pain problems, you may want to ask your chiropractor or doctor about how to best apply the benefits derived from the use of buckwheat pillows.
