How to Make a Peaceful Nights Sleep Pillow
A peaceful night's sleep pillow will vanquish nightmares and be conducive to sweet dreams. Some herbs will cure headaches and some will cause headaches. Before making the sleep pillow, make sure the ingredients that you're using are not going to prompt a headache. The purpose of a sleep pillow is to lull a person into a relaxed state of somnolence.
Things You'll Need:
1/2 cup chamomile flowers
1/2 cup rosemary leaves
1/2 cup pine needles
1 cup lavender flowers
2 tbsp. lemon verbena leaves
1 tbsp. pinhead orrisroot
1/2 tsp. oil of lavender
Cheesecloth material
Sewing machine
Thread
10-inch thin rope
How To Make A Peaceful Nights Sleep Pillow
1
Cut the cheesecloth into two 8 inch by 8 inch squares. Sew the bottom and two sides together leaving a 1/2 inch seam. The top should not be sewn together. This creates the pouch for the herbs.
2
To create a drawstring, fold over an inch of the material at the top of the pouch. Insert the thin rope into the slot that was created when you folded over the material and sewed it horizontally along the bottom of the fold. Leave an opening at each end so the rope can hang loosely.
3
Tie the excess thin rope ends in a knot so they will not come out of the fold. This thin rope will act as a tie for the cheesecloth after the ingredients have been added.
4
In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup chamomile flowers; 1/2 cup
rosemary
leaves; 1/2 cup pine needles; 1 cup
lavender
flowers; 2 tbsp. lemon verbena leaves; 1 tbsp. pinhead orrisroot and 1/2 tsp. oil of lavender. Mix the ingredients together using a spoon.
5
Place the mixture into the cheesecloth pouch and pull the rope tightly closed. Place the closed pouch inside a pillowcase along with the pillow.
Tips & Warnings
Remove any ingredients from the pouch after four months and refill the pouch with a new, fresh mixture
Replace the herbs occasionally because their fragrance will change over time and might cause headaches or insomnia. Avoid using Ylang Ylang. It is known to cause headaches. Check out herb sites on-line to make sure you're not using an ingredient that will worsen, instead of improve, your sleep.
