Sleeping:

The best way to sleep is either on your back with a pillow under your knees or on your side with a pillow between your knees. You can use any type of pillow under or between your knees. To support the curvature of your neck, we recommend Sobagara, (available through our office). Sobagara is filled with buckwheat so it is long lasting and holds its shape. I have used the same buckwheat pillow for seven years, yet it is as if I bought it yesterday.

Unlike feather, foam, down, or nylon, buckwheat does not deform. It literally feels like a sand pillow at the beach. Here is a picture of the buckwheat pillow we carry at our office. It has a washable pillowcase and you can remove some of the buckwheat if you feel your pillow is too hard. This pillow sells like hotcakes and they really make a difference in how you feel when you wake up in the morning. Please note the position of the model in this photograph. When you sleep on your side, try to put your arm out to the side so you are not crushing or impinging your shoulder. This will make a difference for those suffering with headaches, shoulder, or neck/radicular pain that goes from the neck down to the fingers.
