Have you been stressed out and find it hard to hit the hay? That happens sometimes. Or are you so creatively charged you can’t seem to turn your thoughts off and put the laptop down to get some shut eye? That happens sometimes, too. So, when you’re in either of these situations, we got your back. Some simple herbal remedies are here to help, and since they’ve been used in cultures for centuries, we’re confident you’ll love them just as much as those preceding you did. Sleep sachets. The simple solution that is packed with aromatic herbs and oils to help ease your mind and clear your spirits. They are so simple to make and even more simple to use! You only need to place them under your pillow, turn off your thoughts, and welcome sleep.
Chamomile Lavender Satchel
For this traditional satchel, you’ll need the following items:
+ Muslin Craft Bag
+ Ribbon and Rubber Band (for closure)
First place the dried chamomile and lavender flowers in the muslin bag, leaving a fair amount of space to make a tie at the top with the rubber band to ensure closure.
Then add a few drops of your Chamomile oil. Close with the rubber band, and hide the rubber band with a pretty ribbon!
Place under your pillow and break up with those sheep for good!
Also, here’s a quick fact to show off to your friends while you amaze them with your creation: Romans loved their lavender. Aside from using the essential oil of the plant as an aromatic massage oil, they also placed the flowers across floors to help add a special scent in the air of selected rooms. …So we just made you not only an herbal genius, but the next Martha Stewart in one post. Pretty cool, huh?
