Herbal Sleep Pillow

Here's How:

1. Combine herbs. Set aside.
2. Cut a 12 inch X 24 inch piece of muslin fabric.
3. Fold in half with wrong sides together, and sew long sides closed, 1/4 inch from the edge.
4. Turn right side out and sew remaining opening closed about 1/2 way. Leave a space to insert herb mixture.
5. Insert a wide mouth funnel, such as a canning funnel, into remaining opening. Fill pillow with herbs.
6. Carefully folding in remaining raw edges, hand sew the last bit of opening closed.
7. Flatten pillow as much as possible. Place next to sleeping pillow, to enjoy the beautiful scent all night long.

Tips:

1. Use pre-made wine bags as ready made pillows. Simply fill and sew last end closed.
2. Use orrisroot or oakmoss as a scent fixative.
3. Add essential oil to dried herb mixture, to prolong the scent.
4. Make a second empty pouch as a pillowcase for your sleep pillow. That way, you can remove the cover if it becomes soiled and wash it.
