What are dream pillows?
Dream pillows, also known as sleep pillows and herbal pillows, are natural aids used to help people with restful sleep and enhance dreams.
Now I am not a qualified medic and these products are not a medical alternative if you are struggling with sleep issues, stress, etc. For any mental health or sleep problems then my advice is to seek proper medical assistance.
Many years ago, herbs were believed to protect against evil, foretell the future and induce vivid dreams. These days we know that the pleasant scents of herbs can aid us with calming and relaxing which then aids us to have more peaceful dreams. They don't always work for everyone as our smell senses are all different and some people can find some scents stronger than others or find some don't work for them.
When I started to make dream pillows I made sure that all the herbs/flowers I used to make them were safe to use together and were safe to be used in a dream pillow... I knew I wanted to offer 2 or 3 different combinations depending on what people needed help with.
I only use dried herbs/flowers in my pillows. I never use essential oils as they can be too over powering for dream pillows.
So let's look at the 3 combinations I do offer:
SWEET
My sweet dream pillows are perfect for everyone and focus mainly on those who want to focus on keeping bad dreams away.
It has two ingredients:
Rosemary - A natural way to keep bad dreams away. It's also known to helps reduce anxiety levels.
Lavender - Popular for soothing and relaxing.
RELAXING
My relaxing pillows are aimed at those who struggle to switch off when it comes to sleeping and it need a natural aid to help them relax.
This pillow includes three ingredients:
Chamomile - used for relaxation and pleasant dreams. Chamomile is also good for calming the nervous system.
Lavender - eases stress and soothes and relaxes
Hops - aids in restless sleep and healing.
LOVING
Now this pillow is aimed more at adults and more towards females in general! They're great for those who want to relax and enjoy romantic or even erotic dreams!
This pillow includes three ingredients:
Rose - aids with loving and peaceful thoughts.
Jasmine - useful for romantic and erotic dreams.
Mint - helps prophetic dreams.
Each dream pillow is hand made from cotton/polycotton fabrics and I add soft toy filling into them as well as enough of the mixture to aid you. They're a good idea for those who travel a lot and struggle to sleep in strange beds, for those who struggle to wind down after work or switch off.
You can add them to the inside of your pillowcase or on a bedside table. If putting inside a pillowcase please make sure you remove them before washing. The dream pillows are not designed to be put in a washing machine as it could stop the dried herbs from working. When not in use store in a container or bag to preserve the scent. Little crushes will help to release more of the scent when needed.
Some people can be allergic to some of the herbs/flowers used so make sure you are aware of them when purchasing. All my pillows come in packaging which has labels on to explain what ingredients are included.
