Lavender Pillow Mist & Linen Spray Recipe - Musthavemom.com
Sleep is a precious commodity. For most moms it comes in limited supply so when we can lay down and sleep it’s imperative that we get a good night’s rest! I use this lavender pillow mist recipe to spritz my pillow each night and help me fall to sleep quickly. It’s really easy to mix up and also doubles as a linen spray to freshen up your linens and get them smelling amazing. Skip the chemical laden softeners and opt for this natural scent on your sheets and towels instead!

To make this spray you will need a 2oz or 4 oz glass spray bottle. You can order them for really cheap on Amazon. Then just add a pinch of salt to the bottle first. Then add 10-15 drops of Lavender essential oil. Now top off your bottle with distilled water (purified water will work fine too!). Shake it a little to mix it up and you are ready to spritz your way to a more relaxing and restful sleep. It smells so good!

Use the Proper Pillow to eliminate neck pain and poor sleep
 

Another key to getting good rest is having the correct pillow. There is nothing worse than sleeping on a bad pillow. I personally struggle with neck alignment issues and I’ve had nights that I wake up after sleeping on the wrong kind of pillow and I can’t even turn my head because my neck is out of alignment and hitting a nerve. This is then followed by several chiropractor visits, applications of valor essential oil and ice. It’s terrible and I try to ensure that never happens by making sure I am sleeping on the best pillow I can. I love the Proper Pillow because it does exactly what I need, it aligns my spine perfectly so it stays in alignment and my neck and back don’t hurt in the morning.

If you suffer from spinal pain then I would definitely try the Proper Pillow. If you don’t have any history of back problems then I recommend trying the Proper Pillow now before you do! The Proper Pillow maintains the normal 20-40° cervical curve and is perfect for side or back sleepers. It also has a cooling layer which I love!

Don’t sacrifice your sleep! Use these tips to help you get the best night sleep possible! Want the Lavender Pillow Spray recipe? Print it off below!

    I’m in desperate need of a new pillow. I’m having a terrible time sleeping lately. I’ve heard of lavender remedy but haven’t found the oil here.

    The proper pillow looks awesome. I have several old back injuries and can totally relate to the sleeping wrong causing a whole bunch of issues.I will definitely have to check it out- do you know where they’re available to purchase?

    I’ve never seen a pillow like this…looks very interesting. I am kind of a pillow snob and have trouble sleeping in hotels if I can’t figure out the pillow situation. Silly, I know. I have a lavender neck pillow I use when I am really stressed…love this idea of a pillow spray!

    This would definitely make me sleep well. When I used Lavender for anything, especially bath wash, it immediately has a calming effect on me. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I do have trouble sleeping on certain pillow, especially in hotels. That proper pillow sounds like it would help a lot.

    I so agree with having a proper pillow, the one I have currently is not the best and since I am moving soon I am thinking of getting a proper one. I hear a lot that lavender helps people fall asleep quickly. I am yet to try it myself

    This may be a silly question but why do you add salt? Thanks! I am going to try a pillow mist. I love Valor and it’s my favorite of all of them and I do have neck issues! I could really use a good pillow that keeps my cervical vertebrae aligned! I am going to check this out. Thanks!

      Not a silly question at all! The salt is necessary because oil does not mix with water. The oil would just float at the top of the bottle if there wasn’t salt added.

    Thanks so much for the DIY! I will definitely give this a try since I love anything with lavender scent, even my car scent is lavender. It really helps to relax the mind. I really agree with you with the pillow, my neck and body aches when I used a bad pillow.

      I’m sorry to hear about your chronic pain issues! I imagine the lack of sleep due to chronic pain would be stressful. I hope this pillow mist can help you catch some zzz’s!
