Sleep Better With A Homemade Pillow Spray

The pillow spray is all the rage! You make it from perfumed water with a fine and soft aroma, and it is specially used for pillows. This fine scent is said to soothe the senses and help you sleep better.

Let’s take a look at how to make your own pillow spray!

Benefits of a pillow spray

The pillow spray falls under aromatherapy. The product is also known as “pillow mist” and it is becoming increasingly popular among those who need to relax and sleep well.

As you may know, there are certain scents and scents that have a stimulating effect, including triggering emotions. That is why there is such a wide variety of beauty products on sale today.

The essential oils in the spray are  100% natural extracts from plants such as lavender, geraniums, tea tree and vanilla. When applied to your pillow, they can have a calming effect.

Of course this is all subjective and of course you have to choose which scent is calming for you. Sniffing your pillow will not immediately plunge you into a direct, deep sleep, but only when you relax can you close your eyes and sleep comfortably.

Why not try it yourself?

There are a number of sprays available today, such as the quality brand L’Occitane, but they can be very expensive. It’s so easy to make your own! We assure you, this is very simple.

This way you can also choose your own scents that you know will help you relax or have a better effect on your overall peace of mind.

How do you make a pillow spray?

As mentioned before, the world of aromatherapy is very subjective. You have to discover your own options in this fascinating world to see what intrigues you the most.

You don’t have to go to a health food store to buy a special fragrance. It is possible to use things that you already have at home.

Below is a blend of relaxing scents for our preferred pillow spray. We hope you enjoy smelling it!

What do I need?

• 1/2 liter of distilled water
• 1/2 vanilla bean (You can easily find these in stores. They have dark skins and are about 12 centimeters long).
• The zest of a 1/2 orange
• 5 drops of essential oils of vanilla and citrus blossom
• A bottle with a spray cap

How do I make the spray?

• Bring the 1/2 liter of water to the boil and add the orange zest and vanilla bean.
• Stir for two minutes during cooking. We are trying to make an infusion that allows all these natural scents to permeate.
• Let cool and pour into a colander or strainer, leaving only the water and removing the vanilla bean and rind.
• Once everything is cold, add the essential oils (five drops of each). The vanilla beans can be reused for a new infusion.

We find that the infusion of vanilla and citrus has a refined, floral citrus scent. The stuff is very aromatic and relaxing.

• Now we pour everything into a bottle with a spray cap. Remember that in order to store it properly, you need to put the spray in the fridge.

• You can store the product in this way for three weeks. If at a certain point you notice that the smell is no longer so strong, you can always make a new spray.
• Now spray the pillow spray on your pillow every night before you go to sleep. When you lie down, you will notice how welcoming the scent is. You will sleep better and you will enjoy it!

You can also try other options. For example, try rose, cedar and cinnamon! You can also use these sprays for your entire room.

They are all natural and contain no chemicals! Try different combinations and tell us about it!
