Herbal Sleep Pillow
Herbal sleep pillows are used for various sleep difficulties such as insomnia, congestion and headache as well as providing a pleasant aroma for invoking pleasant dreams. Sleep pillows can be made using a variety of herbs. Select the herb for your specific needs. Sleep pillows also make great gifts for those that appreciate herbs and aromatherapy.
Instructions
1. Cut an 8 x 8 piece of cloth made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen. These fibers breathe better and will allow the scent from the herb to circulate freely. Choose a fabric pattern that blends well with your bedroom decor.
2. Fold the cloth in half with the wrong side of the fabric facing outside.
3. Stitch two sides of the fabric together.
4. Turn the pillow through the open side, so the right side of the fabric is now facing out.
5. Put half cup of dried herb into the pillow. Some great herbs for making sleep pillows include: chamomile, lavender, rose, rosemary, and echinacea.
6. With the raw edge turned in, slip stitch the open side closed.
7. As you sleep, enjoy the aroma of your herbal pillow.
