Herbal pillow. Pillow with healing herbs for healthy sleep

In some depths of Russia, in the villages and villages, they have been preserved to this day, to fill the mattresses and pillows with healing herbs. In addition to the healing effect, the smell of herbs helps to distract from the hassle and bustle of the days. Inhaling the fragrance, we can bring thoughts into carefree childhood, filled with smells of freshly acted hay or summer meadow colors.

Pillows and mattresses from nettle stems

Making a healing mattress and pillows from the winter stems of nettle will take quite a bit of effort and time. What is needed for that:

1. Cut the winter stems near the root itself is not necessarily. You can break only part of the stem above the snowdrift.

2. Clear the stem from the leaves and seeds, if anyone else has been preserved. In no case do not throw away !!! Leafs are already old for nutrition, so you can make a pillow from them or sew in the bag, and simply apply to sick places. But the seeds are a powerful biological supplement to food. The effect of ginseng is equal to the root. Even the dried root they are suitable for nutrition.

3. Dry everything.

4. Stems do not break! Carefully make a mattress. For these purposes, I recommend to take a dense tissue. Sew a big bag and carefully put along his straight stems, alternating Kolly with a painter and evenly distribute them. Sew hole. For the pillow, you can only take the tops of the speckle stalks, before it should be changed.

So quickly you can make yourself a medicinal bed of a mattress and pillows. But that's not all! After some time in the mattress, detect partially treated nettle fibers.

What to spend big money to pharmaceutical, it is better to spend the "big time" to make such beds to yourself, and with the frequency once a month to change them, when it allows the time of year (spring, summer, autumn - from fresh; in winter - already from the finished trust).

For those who have already begun to obtain the spectal fibers at home: the mattress and the pillow can be made of bonfire, which remains after processing.

In the last article, we studied the beneficial properties and contraindications of herbs that are most suitable for sleepy pillows, learned to choose we need, in accordance with our needs: from insomnia, with a cold, to relieve fatigue, improve performance.

Today we will talk about.

If you collect herbs yourself, think about good so that your kind energy strengthened the healing properties of plants. In the old days, it was made to accompany the prayers and songs any good deeds, especially aimed at rehabilitation. Collect herbs better away from motorways and smog city.

The pillow can have different sizes: from ordinary to tiny. The more fragrant and more active than the plant (Rosemary, Sage, Hmiel bumps), the pillow should be less. The form will tell you your fantasy: round, square, oval. If you have a cervical osteochondrosis, preferably the shape of the roller, whip it with herbs.

For the main pillowcase (case or inethove) only natural ("breathable") and tight fabrics (cotton, flax, tick) so that the fillers do not succeed and do not pour face and neck.

Sust a couple of removable pillowcases from Batista, Poplin, Boszy, silk. They can be dressed on top of the case, and change to wash.

Herbs that give volume.

A feature and disadvantage of the aromatic pillow is the rapid herballers. To avoid this, herbs are used, which hold the shape - essay, heather, orlyak fern, straw.

Adding these herbs also helps to avoid an overdose when you want to have a large pillow, and the selected herbs are highly active (rosemary, sage, bumps of hops) and very smelling (mint, soul, elderberry).

Heather ordinary It is not easy to give the volume of our sleepy pillow, but he will also calm the nerves, normalizes sleep, will help recovery during respiratory and viral diseases, relieves breath in a dream when coughing. Collect heather in August-September (blooming tops).

Sedge It is considered a little medicinal plant, but our distant ancestors began to use the EUT to fill mattresses and pillows, noticing her beneficial influence on health.

Source usually grows in raw places, swamps and happens with small and large leaves. Mattress mellite is softer, but it is flourished faster. Large Oceka will give a mattress or a pillow with an elasticity, allow a long time to maintain volume. Walking people advise to do 2 mattresses: one - with large leaves (it is put down), the second - with small (put on top). The same goes and pillows.

Pillows and mattresses stuffed with Russian can safely serve at least a year. They need to sneak from time to time. If the Spring is constantly mounted in a certain place, then before the late autumn it will give you excellent feeding raw materials, without impurities of last year's blade.

Fern Orlyak In many areas, they consider weed, from which it is very difficult to get rid of. Nevertheless, the plant has long been popular as cheap construction (in roofing works), bedding for livestock, like fertilizer and fuel.

In California, the Orlyak adapted for weaving baskets, in European countries - for filling the pillows and mattresses. The use of a fern bed is explained by its bactericidal, stimulating, antipyretic, painkillers.

Sorshem, crushing, mix, stitch ...

Envy. Before use, the plants are pretty dry, so that the mold and fungus do not interfere with our recovery. Usually, the herbs are dried in the shade, in a ventilated place, laying up a thin layer and Vorosha several times a day. Herbs are ready if they easily break and rustle from touch. If you are using roots, then they are better to dry in the oven.

Grind. We break or cut the plants into pieces of 1 cm. Herbs that give the pillow volume can not be very small.

Mix. Take advantage of grasses collection recipes from the previous article or follow your intuition. At the same time, you must listen to your feelings - the smell of grass should like. And still look at the flavor matching plate.

Put. On the pillow of 20 * 20 cm, you will need up to 500 g of dry filler. If you spent not all the grass, then fold the residue in a paper bag or a glass tightly closing can, it is useful for "fresh pillows" for baths, tea (in the absence of allergies and contraindications).

How to use herbal assistant.

Herbal pillows are short-lived and serve to 2-3 months: medicinal plants gradually lose their healing properties.

Day rest pillow It is possible to fill with tonic and regenerating the working capacity of herbs: wormwood, lavender, geranium.

Before bedtime Sleepy assistant Shake Pretty to enhance the aroma of herbs.

Little pillow Put next to your head, under the main pillow or insert into the pillowcase.

Storage: Remove the pillow every time after use in a plastic bag, in a dark place to preserve the aroma of plants longer.

Long stay Coniferous pillow: its contents change over a year 1 or 2 times. Ahead New Year, Take advantage of the opportunity before after the holidays, throw a Christmas tree, collect your husband and use it to fill the pillow. The needles of the fir are more gentle and does not ourselves, when billet as pine.

Phytoncides needles have a bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, stimulating effect, have a beneficial effect on the nervous, heart and vascular system. The coniferous pillow will help with insomnia, hysteria, cold, flu, relieves breath while sleeping with cough will improve the work of the brain.

Course duration Pillow applications have limitations: from one to three weeks. After that, you can change it new, with another composition. The course is repeated per year 2 or 3 times.

Do not store herbal cushion for more than a year.

In Russia, the procedure for updating its straw beds was required in mid-October, for St. George's Day. To this moment, it ended the throat, and there was no shortage of straw. From the mattresses and pillows, last year's straw turned into Truch. She was taken to burn. Nappets were erased and dried, then stuck fresh straw, the fragrant herbs or flowers were added to it.

If, applying a fragrant pillow for sleep, you will feel ailments, headaches - refuse to use it.

Vegetable Puff Pillows Deserve our attention.

Our great-grandmothers were able to do them from Rhoze, Ivan tea or Chertopoloha. This process is quite laborious, but the result is worth it. The pillow was surprisingly easy and could serve more than one year.

Copulated the cheating rhozeWhen they became dark brown (in September). For drying, left in the sun, and in bad weather under the ventilated canopy. When the cappings of the cobs began to bloom, becoming fluffy, they were put in the pillowcase and immediately sewn, leaving only a small hole. They sued, hanging the workpiece of the pillow at the furnace.

When the cobs finally dried, the Pooh blurted out and filled the pillowcase. After that, through the hole carefully removed the stems one by one. The pillow was sewn. Moreover, the pillars of the spring gathering never used, because insect larvae were probably in them.

Properly assembled and well-drying fluff of Rhoze is not subject to dampness and mold.

If Rhoze did not turn out, they took the fluff chertopoloha. It is quite difficult to harvest it. The floral heads were cut immediately after flowering when white brushes appeared on the colors. The work required patience and ambitiousness: the Pooh was pulled out with their hands, filled the pillowcase, sash it and dried on the furnace.

In some places they collected fluff ivan tea (Cypria narrow). Seed boxes were collected until their disclosure in the bag, which was tied up with a node. The bag with raw materials was dried in the sun or put on the oven. Dried boxes burst, light down filled the bag. For the best separation of the fluff, the bag was shaking and pound with wooden sticks, turning it down with a node down. The boxes lowered to the bag node, and the down - climbed up. It remained to untie the knot and pour out all unnecessary.

Aromatic pillows, stuffed herbs with meadows and fields - not news, many have heard of such a miracle accessories for recreation. And what if we try to make such pillows do it yourself?

Once upon a time in the book of V. A. Ivanchenko, by hardening, I met information about pillows from Cabinet (Bogorodskaya herb).
