Herbal Love Pillow—It has long been rumored that if you wish to dream of the one you love and will eventually marry, to place a piece of wedding cake under your pillow at night. The resulting dream that night, is said to be an accurate depiction of your married life. An easier way to induce a desired ‘love dream’ is simply to mix together the following herbs and make sachets! Either way, a pleasant and restful night’s sleep is ensured. Other herbal scented sachets and pillow recipes can be found in the Miscellaneous Category of betweenclosefriends.com blog.
1 cup dried violet flowers
¼ cup tonka bean
¼ cup dried orrisroot
¾ cup dried rose petals (red roses dry the deepest color, white roses although quite fragrant, turn brown when dried)
- Make sure that your flowers and petals are completely dry, otherwise they will mildew
- Combine the flowers, rose petals, tonka bean, and orrisroot together in a bowl. Mix together thoroughly.
- If making small individual sachets, divide this mixture evenly between 3 small muslin sachets, secure with a rubber band, and then tie with a generous length of colorful ribbon.
- Tuck a sachet into your pillowcase, between the pillow and case. Pleasant dreams!
