About

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.

  5. 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. 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. 7

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