Making Herbal Dream Pillows FROM THE PUBLISHER
Recipes for aromatic herbal blends to
inspire the dreams you have always
wanted.
A fragrant dream pillow tucked into one's
pillowcase can conjure dreams that are
romantic, exciting, relaxing, soothing,
creative, even erotic!
Author Jim Long has crafted and marketed
dream pillows for more than 10 years, and
now shares his unique herbal blends in
this one-of-a-kind book. Whimsical
full-color illustrations of moons, stars,
fairies, flowers, herbs, and other dream-like
images make this stunning gift book a
"dreamy," yet practical package.
Making Herbal Dream Pillows begins
with the history of dream pillows in folk
medicine and herbal mythology, and the
relationship between fragrance and
memory. Subsequent chapters profile 29
aromatic herbs and flowers, and include
tips for growing them and combining them
in dream pillow mixtures.
Step-by-step instructions guide readers in
creating pillows, and mixing combinations
of herbs to create 17 different blends. Each
blend is specially designed to encourage a
different type of dream.
Long also includes tips for caring for
dream pillows, and instructions for
keeping a dream journal to track the
pillow's effects.
