Bryan's DIY herbal Pillow


Making your very own aromatherapy pillow is a great way to enhance your balance of body, mind and emotion in your everyday routine, and especially nice after a long day at work. This little aromatic treat is easy to make and it makes a terrific gift for your love ones.

You can either keep them in the freezer to use them as an Eye Pillow or heat them up in the microwave to put around neck and shoulders.
Trust me, it is really nice and wonderful to have one at home. The recipe below with Peppermint oil can clear up sinus if you warm the pillow and put it near your nose.

Materials:
1 sock or stocking (to put herbs) , A cup (depending on your pillow size) of rice or red beans
Essential Oils -- Rosemary, Lavendula Vera and Tea Tree. Dried Peppermint leaves and dried lavender.

Directions for Aromatherapy Pack:
Put your rice and herbs into a large bowl and add in several drops of your essential oils (A combination of Peppermint, Rosemary, and Tea Tree oil is used here). Stir your rice as you mix in the oils. Do not use too much oil, as you wouldn't want your rice to be wet.

Put all ingredients in the stocking and sew it up. Thereafter, put it inside a fabric pillow case. You can seal this pillow or leave it open so that you can change the stocking inside with different herbs.

My favourite size for such aromatherapy pillow is 8 inch by 4 inch and the cover fabric is 9 inch by 5 inch. Personally, I do not seal the pillow case because I like to experiment with different herbs :)

I just tried 2 bottles of Omhealth Facial Treatment Cleanser only. I find it is really gd, effective to cleanse my face properly. It can be used makeup remover n totally free of chemical and preservative.

I am enjoying myself by pulling back my Amethsyt Mala by chanting Medicine Buddha Mantra for 2mths plus in Music Therapy cum Relaxation.

I love our Bryan Lao Shi's aroma oil r 5 element, Lavendula Vera and Rosemary Spanish. I love to use Wang Yang Comb for combing my hair. It can improve hairgrowth.

I can see rainbow at my Clear Quartz Pyramid while i am practising Meditation cum Breathing Exercise at the Natural Park. I can also see energy cloud at my Crystal. It is beautiful, lucky to see it with my eyes.

Cheers

The shampoo is marvellous. After using it, the hair is so soft and shiny. Order 1 and try it yourself, believe it or not, u will definintely see the results after 1 wash. My 2 kids are using it too..... I have also just started to use the lotus revitalising cream, it is good too. After using it for 1 week, I can see the difference on my face. My face become brighter no more dull skin (oh yeah), and the blemishes on my face is getting better too. Must try it.
