People spend about a third of their lives on sleeping, and that is a good thing. Besides air and water, sleep is one of the most important components of our health. Sleep is essential for us and we cannot live without it. Sleeping facilitates the regeneration of our body, the processing of our brain of daily experiences and strengthening of our immune system.

If we sleep too little or not restfully, this can have consequences such as exhaustion, irritability and mood swings. It is all the more important to ensure that you sleep well.

Especially in these fast-moving times, many impressions affect us during the day, which have to be processed. Some days are hectic and stressful, these then do not allow restful sleep and our body does not come to rest.

Our tip for a good night’s sleep: a pillow spray with soothing essential oils. You can easily make this pillow spray yourself with the help of our DIY recipe.

Which essential oils are suitable for the pillow spray?

Lavender oil:

  • has a harmonizing and balancing effect
  • supports falling asleep

Stone pine oil:

  • health-promoting and calming effect
  • boosting motivation and focus

Frankincense Oil:

  • has a calming and anxiety-relieving effect
  • frees the mind from insignificant matters

You can also use our Sweet-Dream aroma blend “Schlaf schön”. This calming aroma blend lets the thoughts of the day come to rest and ensures a pleasant feeling of security.

What do I need to make a pillow spray?

Here is the shopping list to make your own pillow spray:

  • 100 ml spray bottle
  • 20 ml neutral alcohol e.g. vodka or spirit of wine (to ensure well-mixing of oils)
  • 70 ml distilled water
  • 15 drops of essential oils of your choice
  • Measuring cup
  • Funnel

For a 50 ml bottle you can simply use half of the ingredients stated above.

How to make the pillow spray?

This is quite simple. Use the funnel to fill the empty spray bottle with distilled water and vodka. Then add the essential oil. Now all you have to do is close the spray bottle and shake it vigorously. Shake well before each use.

How do I use the spray on the pillow?

That depends on your personal feelings and the strength of the mixture you have made. Just lightly applying the spray on the pillow before going to bed will do.
