Lavender Dream pillows can be used to help you relax and have peaceful sleep. Dream pillows have been used for years to help promote sleep and for other medicinal purposes like relieving headaches.
Lavender can help relieve headaches and can be combined with roses, mugwort, jasmine and other herbs or herbal supplements. You will need to experiment to find the perfect combination. Many people just like lavender by itself.
Herbs you use to make dream pillows have a subtle fragrance unlike strong scents you use to scent a room or freshen linens. The scent of the herbs inside of the pillow is released as you move during sleep.
You will need to make a small pouch to put your herbs in. If you don't want to make one you can get a 4" x 6" muslin bag with a drawstring closure. If you want to remove the herbs at some point a drawstring bag is the easiest thing to use. It doesn't really have to look pretty unless you want it to because you will be putting it inside of your regular pillowcase.
Try one of these herb combinations or use 3/4 cup of dried lavender buds only.

- 1/4 cup of rose petals or crushed buds
- 1/4 cup of dried lavender buds
- 1/4 cup of Chamomile

It must be a great feeling to lay on a bed and feel the scent of lavender. I wonder what would my hubby say - I think nothing. He can smell only baked beef :)
Could this cause problems to allergy sufferers, or is there a way around it?
I always wanted to get such a pillow but I'm not really sure that this won't provoke some kind of allergy?

The smell of Lavender is so relaxing. We have it growing in the garden so I'll be sure to make use of it, great gift idea.
Hi Nice Blog .Thank you
Lavender and lavender oil are also known to have anti-aging properties when used as part of Aromatherapy.
I made one just like this for my daughter - she loved it. She can't sleep without it now. I'm waiting for more designs/ideas.
I have actually used Lavender for my dogs. The groomer that I take my dog to has a range of spa products for dogs and lavender is a key ingredient in a few of those products.
I have found lavender to be excellent for a restful nights sleep. We have a small packets within the pillows.
I highly recommend it.
Iv'e always wanted to know what the name of that flower was that came in the spring? It smells like lavendar and they blow in the street everywhere. LOVELY. IS it called the lavendar flower. THis is killing me cause I can't remember! LOL
Wow..Now i can dream of lavender =) never thought of that idea thank!
Yes lavender is my favorite color, thanks for the excellent idea.
Nice lavender pillow. Great post together with the instruction. :)
I noticed that you have a lavender theme and topic. Keep it up. Congratulations.
I've had trouble sleeping for the past couple months, but i never wanted to resort to taking medications for it. when i went to my doctor he suggested that i put a little spot of lavender oil on my pillow. the only bad thing about that is it stains my sheets! so i really love this post its a great idea and so informative. THANKS!
A great idea of my dream pillow, but i am not sure how long the pillow made from lavender is going to last?
I think you have to make your dream pillow every night, which will be a expensive dream. :)
I had my daughter make it as a punishment (not because it's horrible or anything - she just behaved badly and this was my way of giving her detention) and halfway through she actualy started enjoying making it. It's amazing!
What a cool combination of herbs. Thanks for sharing this.
