"Hi, Nili Nathan here, with another holistic tip for you, which will keep you and your family healthy. You know, many people complain about sleeping problems. Either, they have problems falling asleep, or staying asleep. Well, I have a very good natural remedy for you to try at home. This is something that is very simple and easy to make. It is called a Hops Pillow. First, you'll need to get a muslin bag. I will use three types of herbs in this remedy. They are hops, chamomile flowers and, my favorite, lavender flowers. Hops have a very profound sedative effect. Just sniffing the hops will induce sleep. Now, I use a little bit more of the hops, than the other two herbs. Starting with the hops, place the herbs into the muslin bag. These are dried herbs that you can find in your health food store. Also, you may be able to find them on-line. If you search on-line, you may be able to find an herbal store. Next add the chamomile flowers. Most of you are familiar with chamomile for tea. It has a very relaxing, soothing effect on your nerves. Finally, add the lavender flowers. Secure the pillow by pulling the drawstrings tightly together and tie them. Now, there you have it, your Hops Pillow. This makes an excellent holiday stocking stuffer, as well. You can make it look festive, by taking a beautiful gold ribbon and tying it around the neck of the pillow. Next make a nice little bow and then you'll have a great holistic holiday stocking stuffer. Now, let me demonstrate what you'll do with your Hops Pillow. You, simply just want to, lay it down, underneath your regular sleeping pillow. All of the aroma from those nice comforting herbs will help you to dose right off. "
