There is nothing more relaxing then a warm cup of tea. Its ability to soothe and comfort us is unparalleled. So when Tea GW came out with their new line of tea pillows, they took the comfort-giving properties of tea to a whole new level. These elegantly decorated silk pillows are filled with premium tea leaves. With 3 styles to choose from – a lounge pillow, a bolster and a travel pillow – you can enjoy this tea-inspired comfort on the couch, on the floor or on the road!
Inhaling the fragrant tea pillows will bring an immediate sense of peacefulness, as with each breath you calm your nervous system. According to Tea GW company, these pillows come with a bevy of benefits, including better sleep, brighter eyes, lower blood pressure, and the harmonization of your entire body.
I own the travel pillow. It comes equipped with an elastic band that fits around the headrest of a car seat. Having the pillow supporting my neck allows me to lean back into my car seat. This affords me better posture when I’m driving, and allows me to be more relaxed while driving. Nothing beats the comforting feeling of laying your head back in the middle of a traffic jam or at a red light and taking an extra moment to breathe deeply. Alternatively, you can use this pillow as lumbar support, as many people have poor posture due to a weakness or lack of support of their lower backs. For bonus tea comfort – enjoy a soothing cup of tea from your favorite travel tea mug!
Tea GW claims that the tea pillows can be used to help decrease sleeplessness and memory loss, clear your ears, brighten the eyes, soothe your nerves and blood pressure and provide harmonization to the body over all. Quite like ingesting a cup of tea, there are benefits to be derived from taking your tea externally too. There are days I wonder if there is anything that tea can’t improve.
As a massage therapist, I am recommending this product to my clients. The combination of poor posture and the stress that comes from driving effects everyone. We especially tend to stick our necks out of alignment when we drive (as well as when we spend time on the computer reading). The travel pillow is especially designed to support the cervical area of the spine, and increases our body awareness. Being back in alignment does in fact affect our breathing, our nerves, organs and muscles – so the claims the company makes are not unfounded.
Whether it’s the kind of pillow you can sleep with depends on the person and they way they sleep. I definitely recommend the travel pillow in your car. You don’t have to be a tea fanatic to appreciate them. Even the distinct and elegant packaging will give you a moment’s pause to behold the experience of something very special. The stunning flair of Chinese characters and design on the silk pillows make these as desirable for their look as they are for their benefits. Pillows can be filled with your choice of green tea, tie guan yin, jasmine, rose, or lavender. The only thing left is to choose your cup of tea and enjoy it inside and out!
