Here in the SF Bay Area, we have tv. (CCTV) from China in both
Chinese Languages (and dialects) and in English. The English-speaking
station has a zillion commercials for tea-leaf-stuffed silk sleeping
pillows.
I was curious if anyone has used these and if there is, in actuality,
a reason for it.
In all my naturapathic reading, I haven't found one suggestion that
tea-leaf-sniffing would be reastful, no matter the quality of the
leaves or the fragrance.
For any of you in Asia: is it "big" there? Are you sleeping better?

I don't know about tea but I think nettles are supposed to bring you dreams
if you sleep on a nettle-filled pillow.

I've seen them, never used them. I think they are rather crunchy
(from what I can tell anyway) which means..... not too comfy.

I also know that they use SPENT tea leaves in those things, because I
remember one teashop told me that they sell their used tea leaves to
people who make these pillows.....

Basically.... sounds like a bad idea all around.

Yep!

ooh, the only Nettles I remember as a kid were of the stinging variety - I'd
hate for one of those leaves to come loose or poke itself through the pillow
:-((

Hopefully the dried nettles don't sting - the only ones that ever 'attacked'
me were still green.

I saw one of the same ads just a few minutes ago. "Tea Garden Pillow", it
seemed a little small to me to be any real use for sleeping. Not sure what
level of support it would provide. Then again, I do have a big head ;-))

This one says they use High Mountain Tea from 1200m - who knows. They
obviously feel there are some benefits.

Perhaps you could order one and do a benefits analysis and share your
experiences ;-))

Ah, shucks! I can't seem to find them advertised online.
I'll have to save up my old tea leaves and make one myself. I'll
report back after my "good night's sleep".
It's a rather elegant commercial and they look costly.
I was just wondering if it's the fashion in Asia......

I know quite a few folks that put these in their cars...people usually
go to the tea market and buy like 5 bucks of cheap TGY, put it in a
pillow case, and then throw it in the backseat. I guess they like the
odor of the scents that factories spray on TGY now.

Sleeping with tea...never heard of it.
