thanks silver vixen that really helps a lot. i really appreciate it.

anytime, pulled that from my different reference books, lol

Oh yeah it does...

I have options to lavender and marjoram, yay! :D

Thank you for asking klw, and Silver... you rockstar you... :D

I have a herbal sleep pillow, its stuffed with chamomile, lavender, jasmine and lemonbalm. It really helps me sleep, and this mix is commonly used in Asia.

Thank you, I had a little idea of herbal sleep remedies but this was interesting to read! I have a lavendar bag which sometimes works, maybe I should add something else to it. Also I am looking for a way to help my little girl sleep, so this was helpful!

Blessed Be xo
