Sleep Pillows can be effective; use a small pillow a few inches square, stuffed with the appropriate herbs and slipped inside the pillowslip on top of your regular pillow. Failing that, a few drops of essential oil on a cotton wool ball or scrap of cotton can be placed inside the pillowslip. Neroli, chamomile, marjoram, lavender or rose are my suggestions.
Jeanne Rose’s Herbal Sleep Pillow, to rekindle energies during the night. 8 parts rose petals, 4 parts mint, 4 parts rosemary, 1 part crushed clove.
Small but strong sleep pillow: Approximately equal quantities of rose petals, chamomile, mint and rose geranium. Add a few drops of neroli essential oil (and I like a drop of clary sage too). This one’s quite strong and floral.
Interesting Dreams Pillow: Stuff your pillow with mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) It produces truly spectacular technicolor dreams. I like to add a drop or two of clary sage oil to help me get to sleep, and because it has the quality of being able to open the third eye. It also produces euphoria… but don’t overdo it because in large quantities it can cause headaches.
