According to ancient Chinese medical books of Qianjin Fang (Precious Prescriptions for Emergencies) and Ben Cao Gang Mu (Compendium of Materia Medica), tea leaves, autumn chrysanthemums, and mung beans were used as pillow fillings for their health benefits.
It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi would have people pick chrysanthemums during the autumn blooming season each year. After exposing them to the blazing sun, the dried flowers would be filled into pillows for bedding purposes.
“There exist no miraculous methods in the world, only plain ones and the perfection of the plain is miraculous.”
- Fei Boxiong, Menghe scholar-physician regarding health and healing, 1863

”Though quietude is a winding down of activity, it is not inactivity. Just as non-being is the source of being, the pivot and pole of activity (tung) is quietude (ching). In the root all is quiet, but an intense activity goes on all the time. From the absolute quietude of the still point all things issue forth. Issuing forth they grow silently and profusely.”
- Ellen Chen, commentary on the Tao te Ching
