Herbal Pillows
By Karen Hegre

Editor's Note: I am always getting requests for these pillows. Karen provided us with these two recipes. They are often called Herbal Eye pillows (small versions), Dream pillows or Sinus pillows. Whatever you call them they are wonderful!

Sinus Headache Pillow

Cut two pieces of material 10 x 4 inches and sew together. Making a bag, leave one end open and stuff your bag with the following ingredients;

Mix together in a bowl;

1/2 cup of flax seeds
1 part crushed spearmint leaf
1 part crushed peppermint leaf
1 part lavender buds
1 part eucalyptus leaf
1 part rosemary leaf

Stuff the bag and sew of the end!

Dream Pillow

Combine the following in a bowl;

1 cup mugwort
1/2 cup rose petals
1/2 cup german chamomile
1/2 cup sweet hops
1/3 cup lavender buds
1/3 cup crushed catnip
1/4 cup peppermint

Mix the ingredients together....make cloth bags from a 5 x 12 inch piece of material....fill the bag with your mixture....sew the top of the bag shut.
