Herbs To Avoid When Making Dream Pillows
ARTEMISIA(except for Mugwort) should be avoided, as many kinds of
artemisia can cause frightening dreams and, after waking, headaches.
BAY which sometimes causes headaches upon waking, can also add a
gray-brown color and violent quality to dreams.
FIXATIVES are not recommended for use in dream blends.These include
cellulose(processed corncobs) and orrisroot. Since they containe
some fragrance they may change the texture of the dream blend,
making the results unpredictable. Orrisroot can also cause headaches
upon waking.
OILS of any kind are not recommended. Oils are highly concentrated
and can overpower other herbs
RUSSIAN TARRAGON can cause frightening nightmares.
SAGE can create a haunting feeling in dreams. However, garden sage
blossoms and clary sage blossoms can be used in small amounts in
dream blends.
TANSY which can cause violent and terrifying nightmares, can also
produce headaches upon waking.
