I almost forgot one of the best parts of making your own pillows!-- The opportunity to add a little scented sachet bag before you seal up your seam!!I chose Lavender for the pillows on my bed. And boy oh boy is it a relaxing aroma!
Below are a few aromatherapy basics
(according to www.aromanaturals.net) that might help you narrow down your options when faced with the difficult "what scent do i choose" dilemma...
Lavender- especially good at calming the nervous system, relaxing the body and enabling blissful sleep.
Chamomile- Used in aromatherapy, it is at its best helping with those who suffer from insomnia.
Bergamot- does its job by relieving stress and enabling relaxation. Gives a sense of well-being.
Sandalwood- a calming agent; it relieves nervous tension and helps you relax.
Peppermint/Spearmint- used in stress reduction and meditation and can help energize and improve clarity in thinking.
Eucalyptus- can be used to alleviate symptoms of the common cold and help with breathing.
Vanilla-Scientific studies have shown that this aroma brings to mind positive and happy memories.
Enjoy! and take some clarifying breaths with your new aromatherapy (super adorable and affordable) pillows!!
