sleep

What herbs can I use for a deeper sleep? I feel so stressed all time and Im awake all night.

start with a chamomile tea before bed, and put a drop of lavender oil on your pillow.

Chamomile is great, I agree. If that is not enough, try a tea made from valerian, hops, and passion flower. I found that I need to be careful with lavender, as too much has the opposite effect.

You can also make a small pillow from loose hops. That's an old way that works for some.

You can try a drop of marjorum oil on your pillow too.

Lots of people benefit keeping a piece of amethyst in the bedroom, - or wearing some.

Make sure you practice some deep relaxation before you go to sleep. I ususally do, otherwise I am too jumpy to sleep. A warm drink, made with malted milk, will help too.

You'll find the combination that works best for you. Good luck! :D

will the pillow get stained by the oil?

It should be fine if you wash it on a hot wash. If you don't want to take the risk, you can either (safely) use some in an oil burner, or, put some on a tissue and slip it inside the pillow case :)
