Creating a sachet for better sleep
As someone who struggles with sleeping, this has helped me time and time again, and it is so easy to do!
What you will need:
A small bag. I use breathable small mesh bags with a tie so they can be reused and so I can smell the ingredients.
Herbs. I find that Lavender, Chamomile, Garden Sage, Rose, Eucalyptus, Passion Flower, Lemon Balm, and Valerian Root are great herbs for this. If you are new to working with these herbs, keep in mind that Valerian Root can be a bit harsh on the nose if you are not expecting it and you may want to leave it out if you are wanting a more relaxing smell from your sachet.
Optional:
Essential Oils: Great ones to consider are Lavender, Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Sandalwood, and Rose.
Crystals: I have used Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Citrine, Howlite, Clear Quartz. All wonderful crystals that can aid in self love, mood balancing, calming, and relaxation. These share some of the same qualities as our herbs above do and pair wonderfully together.
What to do:
This is the simplest step. Once you've chosen your herbs, crystals and oils, simply put them in your bag and tie it! Feel free to use my small spell I say over mine:
"I charge you now to aid my rest
So that I may wake and feel my best"
Then I like to place mine in my pillow's sheet so I can smell it as I sleep. It's soothing and it aids in a nice, relaxing slumber! Maybe place it beside your pillow or under it if you are using crystals, as they are not the most comfortable to sleep on directly!
And that's pretty much it. Easy, right? If you end up using this, feel free to share your sachet and/or how it's treated you! Remember, as always, you can always inbox me for questions, suggestions or general advice! xoxo
