DIY Pillow For A Good Night Rest

One of the best cures for dark circles and dull skin is a good night's sleep. Rest is essential to our health and our skin, yet so many of us do not get enough! 

Here's a solution: make your own pillow with herb mixtures to let you rest better.

Ingredients needed: 

  • 100 per cent cotton or silk fabric
  • Dried lavender
  • Dried mint
  • Dried rosemary
  • Dried rose petals
  • Flaxseeds or rice
With the right sides of fabric together, stitch a small pillowcase leaving one end open for filling. Mix together enough rice or flaxseeds to loosely fill your pillow with one or two tablespoons of dried herbs. Add more herbs until it pleases you. Fill the pillowcase with the herb mixture and stitch the open end close.

To use: Shake the pillow gently to release the herbal scents. Place under your pillow or under your head and neck, and relax.
