Flavored pillows are an excellent solution for those who have trouble falling asleep or can not sleep all night. These pillows can be made from herbs such as Melissa, Lavender, Macela or Lavender, which have relaxing properties and relieve excess stress, allowing for a calmer night.
Pillows can be used at any age, including infants, only if you must be careful about your height, as you should take into consideration whether the individual sleeps on their belly up, down or sideways.
Another option is to put 2 drops of lavender essential oil on the pillowcase or an eye patch. However, it is necessary to repeat the process every night.
How to Make a Flavored Pillow
The aromatized pillow can be easily made at home by using a normal bed pillow.
Materials needed
- 1 pillow with pillowcase
- 1 sachet
- ½ cup dried Melissa, Lavender, Macela or Lavender
- Thread
How to ride
Place your herb preferably inside the sachet and close using a piece of yarn. Then place the pillowcase on the pillow and insert the sachet into the space between the pillowcase and the pillow, leaning against one of the corners of the pillowcase. At bedtime, place your head in the center of the pillow and turn your nose to the side of the sachet, preferably.
What to do for the pillow last longer
To keep the smell of the pillow longer it is very important to remove the sachet whenever it is necessary to wash the pillowcase or pillow by storing it inside a closed box.
Each pillow has an indefinite shelf life but must be changed when they stop releasing any scent.
Why the Flavored Pillow Works
The aromatized pillow works through the principles of aromatherapy, a branch of herbal medicine that uses various aromas and scents to achieve various goals, such as cough relief, improvement of symptoms of depression or combat of cigarette use.
In this case, the aromas of calming herbs, such as Melissa or Lavender, help the muscles to relax and, therefore, it becomes easier to fall asleep.
