Basic Instructions For a simple pillow, fill a 3- to 5-inch drawstring bag with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chosen herbs; draw strings and tie closed. For a more decorative bag, fold a 5-inch-by-12-inch cloth in and stitch up two of the open sides (the folded side does not need to be stitched). Launder with no fragrance or fabric softener. Place a cotton ball-sized amount of cotton or fiberfill material in the bottom of the pocket. Add about 1/2 cup of herbs, fold over the remaining open side and stitch shut.
Reduce Stress with This Blend For this relaxing dream pillow, mix 1/2 cup hops, 1/2 cup mugwort and 1/8 cup sweet marjoram. Let the fragrances carry you to a stress-free zone.
Treat Yourself to Restful Sleep Let this mixture take you away to the safest place in the world, where there are no worries and all your needs are fulfilled. Mix ΒΌ cup lavender flowers, 1/4 cup mugwort and 1/4 cup hops for this restful dream pillow.
No More Nightmares If nightmares are troubling you, this comforting blend can ease your mind. Mix 1/4 cup rose petals, 1/4 cup rosemary, 1/4 cup lavender flowers and 1/4 cup hops.
Convalescent Rest Two tablespoons each of lavender flowers, catnip, lilac blossoms, mugwort and marjoram with 1 teaspoon of spearmint or peppermint can help give hospital patients relief from the powerful odors surrounding them
