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.
