To promote a good night's sleep, try aromatherapy in the form of a fragrant sachet under your pillow. From Joyful Life Magazine, here’s a simple DIY project for you to make for yourself or give as a gift.
Supplies
Two 6-inch Squares of Lightweight Breathable Fabric (like cotton muslin or even an old cotton t-shirt)
Thread, Needle, and Scissors
Ribbon
*For an even easier no-sew adaptation, you can purchase premade sachets at your local craft store. If you opt for this version, skip straight to assembling your sachet.
Ingredients
Dried Lavender Flowers
Dried Chamomile Flowers
Dried Rose Petals
Lavender Essential Oil
Sew:
Place the two pieces of breathable fabric together. If there is a patterned or colored side, be sure they are facing inward.
Pin the sides (if desired) and thread your needle.
Sew three of the four sides together, ensuring there are no gaps.
Turn inside out, so the patterned/colored side is now showing.
To Assemble:
Add the herbs into a bowl and mix well with clean hands.
Fill sachets with the dried mixture, leaving enough space at the top to tie it off.
Add 5-8 drops of lavender essential oil.
Use ribbon to tie sachet tightly closed.
Shake well to incorporate oil throughout.
Slip under your pillow, into your pillowcase, or on a bedside table
