Tea Leaf Pillows and Chinese television

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! Shen

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...... Shen

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.
