Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neck support pillow technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine neck support pillow with physiotherapy and aromatherapy functions. Background Technology
[0002] Pillows are essential household items that fill the gaps around the neck, maintaining the natural forward curvature of the cervical spine and preventing excessive stretching or compression of muscles. As people's material and living standards improve, they are paying more attention to health and wellness, which has led to the development of products like the herbal neck pillow. These ergonomically designed pillows provide flexible support to the cervical spine, reducing pressure, while the filling of herbal ingredients allows for the slow release of active ingredients through body temperature, improving local blood circulation and relieving muscle spasms.
[0003] A search revealed a neck support pillow filled with fluid, oval-shaped medicinal herbs (publication number CN109567510A). The pillow core is filled with fluid, oval-shaped medicinal herbs to provide natural neck support and improve the physiological curvature of the neck, thus protecting the cervical spine. However, in actual use, the medicinal beads roll around inside the pillow, resulting in uneven distribution of the different herbs and affecting their release. Furthermore, the beads are encased within the pillow's inner lining, which limits comfort. The simple combination of medicinal beads and a pillow offers only limited practical benefits and has a relatively singular function. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the distribution of different medicinal materials in the neck pillow filled with herbal beads is uneven, which affects the release effect of the medicinal materials, and the comfort level needs to be improved.
