Pillows for Peaceful Nights
To make a sleep or dream pillow, make an inner cloth 'envelope' of
cheesecloth or tulle for the herbs (that darn cheesecloth again!).
Sleep Pillow
1/2 cup chamomile flowers
1/2 cup rosemary leaves
1/2 cup pine needles
1 cup lavender flowers
2 tablespoons lemon verbena leaves
1 tablespoon pinhead orris root (a stabilizer)
1/2 teaspoon oil of lavender
Dream Pillow -
1/2 cup mugwort leaves
1/2 cup lavender flowers
1/2 cup spearmint or peppermint leaves
2 tablespoons thyme leaves
2 tablespoons rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon pinhead orris root (a stabilizer)
Combine ingredients and fill cloth envelope. Slip it inside any washable pillowcase.
Other sleep stuff from the same book -
Strew lavender in the linen closet to scent your bedsheets with this mildly narcotic herb.
Dill will lure cranky babies to sleep. Add a dill infusion to the bath,
sprinkle the infusion on baby's blanket, or use it as a hair rinse. "To
procure sleep, wash the head in a decoction of dill seed and smell it
frequently."
Sprinkle infusions of dill on your pillowcases and sheets then quickly iron dry or fluff in dryer.
Sage is considered a "ghost medicine" used to prevent nightmares. Burn as an incense in the bedroom or strew it on the floor or in the bed.
Catnip tea and chamomile tea are used for both nervous conditions and insomnia in infants and adults.
Cherish your visions and your dreams. They are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
Napoleon Hill
Most people move about forty times in their sleep during the night.
