Herbal Dream Pillows

Scented Herb Pillow

Soothes and relaxes, promotes restfuI sleep and gives a pleasant smell to the bedroom! Make a pillowcase lining out of linen or hessian (burlap) and leave open at one end. Make up a stuffing by mixing dried herbs in the following proportions: 2 to 3 handfuls each of peppermint, sage, and lemon balm, along with 1 to 2 handfuls of lavender, dill, lemon thyme, tarragon, woodruff, red bergamot and rosemary, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of valerian. Fill the pillow loosely with the herbs, sew closed, and put inside a pretty and soft pillowcase before use.
