When I can't sleep I spray my pillow with lavender mist. Although this takes 2-3 days you only spend at most 5 hours actually doing something. BTW I have dyslexia so if a word is spelt wrong im sorry. Your'll have to try and guess.

Instructions

  1. Pick some lavender either from your garden or with permission from someone elses.

  2. Remove the flowers and the buds. Crush them slightly either in a mortle and pestle or with a rolling pin and a plastic bag.

  3. Boil the desired amount of water, pour into a jar or bowl (NOTE: this will smell and taste of lavender for a while so use something recycled e.g. jar)

  4. Add the flowers and buds to the water and leave over night. (NOTE: this will smell and taste of lavender for a while so use something recycled e.g. jar)

  5. Repeat steps 1-now as required to make it smell as strong as you want. Subtle would just be done once but really strong 2-3 times.

  6. To repeat: strain the water after 24 hours, put the used flowers and buds at the base of the lavender plant so that they can be a used again by the plant. If you can re-heat the water (bearing in mind this two will smell after) and add new flowers and buds. leave again for 24 hours.

  7. Strain the final solution and put in a spray bottle for best dispersal.
