Health pillow

Abstract

A pillow contains a powder of a poly-element material and a far-infrared emitting material incorporated into the inside of the pillow or applied to the surface of the pillow.

1 . A pillow comprising: 
 a pillow core containing a powder of about 0.2% to 5% of the weight of said pillow core, said powder comprising at least one poly-element mineral selected from the group consisting of perlite, pitchstone and tourmaline, wherein said powder is incorporated into said pillow core by dissolving said powder into a liquid solution and immersing said pillow core into said liquid solution.    
   
   
       2 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein said powder further comprises at least one far-infrared emitting material selected from the group consisting of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), titania (TiO 2 ), ferrite (Fe 2 O 2 ), chromium oxide (CrO 3 ), silica (SiO 2 ), yttria (Y 2 O 2 ), and magnesia (MgO).  
   
   
       3 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein said pillow core further comprises a magnet.  
   
   
       4 . The pillow of  claim 1 , said pillow core comprising a covering layer surrounding an inner body.  
   
   
       5 . A method of improving the health of a person by providing a pillow core and incorporating into said pillow core a powder of about 0.2% to 5% of the weight of said pillow core, said powder comprising at least one poly-element mineral selected from the group consisting of perlite, pitchstone and tourmaline, wherein said powder is incorporated into said pillow core by dissolving said powder into a liquid solution and immersing said pillow core into said liquid solution.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5 , where said powder further comprises at least one far-infrared emitting material selected from the group consisting of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), titania (TiO 2 ), ferrite (Fe 2 O 2 ), chromium oxide (CrO 3 ), silica (SiO 2 ), yttria (Y 2 O 2 ), and magnesia (MgO).  
   
   
       7 . (Canceled)  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said powder is incorporated into said pillow core by applying said powder to a surface of said pillow core.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said powder is incorporated into said pillow core by mixing said powder with the constituent materials used to manufacture said pillow core.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said pillow core includes a magnet.  
   
   
       11 . A pillow for improving the health of a person comprising: 
 a pillow core; and    a means for emitting anions into an area surrounding said pillow core, wherein the means for emitting anions is by incorporating a powder that emits anions into said pillow core by dissolving said powder into a liquid solution and immersing said pillow core into said liquid solution.    
   
   
       12 . The pillow of  claim 11 , said pillow further comprising a means for emitting far-infrared radiation into an area surrounding said pillow.
