| 2 to 3 handfuls each of peppermint, sage and lemon balm |
| 1 to 2 handfuls of lavender, dill, lemon thyme, tarragon, woodruff, red bergamot and rosemary |
| 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. Another possible mixture for an herbal pillow is oregano, thyme, lavender flowers, valerian root and hops leaves. A mugwort leaf pillow is said to make for happy dreams. |
| Child's Sleep Pillow |
| Mix equal parts lavender flowers, hops, chamomile and dill seeds. Fold a 5'' × 10'' piece of cloth in half, so that it measures 5" by 5" and sew the edges, leaving an opening. Combine the herbs and stuff them into the pillow; then sew the edge closed. Slip this pillow inside the child's pillowcase. |
| Any pillow can be augmented by using an essential oil spray such as this: |
| 1 ounce distilled water 4 drops lavender oil 2 drops chamomile oil 2 drops orange oil 2 drops ylang-ylang oil |
| Pour the water into a spray bottle, add the essential oils and shake to blend. Spray the mixture on your pillow and sheets or in your room before bedtime. Shake before each use. |
