Buckwheat Pillows

     Therapeutic buckwheat pillows make wonderful Christmas gifts for anyone who has difficulty sleeping, or who suffers neck or shoulder pain at night. Chiropractors and physical therapists regularly prescribe buckwheat pillows for their patients suffering from a wide range of maladies.

     Actually they make great gifts for anyone at any time of the year. If they can make someone comfortable enough to sleep who has significant neck or shoulder pain,  just think how comfortable a healthy person would be. It’s a lot easier to fall asleep and stay asleep when you are comfortable.

     Therapy is provided using buckwheat pillows to our wounded warriors returning from war. The secret is in the little ridges that are on the individual buckwheat hulls. These ridges cause the hulls to grasp each other just enough to result in what is called malleability. This means the hulls can conform to the exact cervical curvature of a person’s head and neck, thus providing gentle, even pressure and support to the area. It works on any part of the body needing that support.

     Older people suffering from stiff joints or back pain love their buckwheat pillows. Everyone knows somebody who would just thank them for the rest of their life if they received one of these as a Christmas gift. Wouldn’t you?
