Dream Pillows
Dream Pillows were crafted centuries ago in Europe when herbs were believed to posses bewitching qualities. Herbs were thought to guard against catastrophe, instill bravery, cure illness and facilitate romance. Physicians used herbs to ease the nightmares caused by the sights, sounds and odors of illness and disease. Dream pillows were also called comfort pillows and herbs valued for their relaxation qualities such as lavender, mugwort, and catnip were mixed and used to fill small pillows which were placed in the pillowcases of the sick.
The scent of herbs in the dream pillows can evoke memories that are buried deep in our brains. These scents can bring back memories of events long forgotten. Aromatherapy studies have shown that that scents from herbs and flowers do effect our feelings and emotions.
Dream Pillows can change our dreams from black and white to living color, add sensual images, comfort and aid in restful, peaceful sleep. The scent of dream pillows is not meant to be strong like perfume or potpourri may be, but gentle and discrete.
