After a long, stressful day, there are many ways to unwind. One technique is called aromatherapy, which is a healing practice that uses scents from plants or flowers to soothe your body and mind. Combining this practice with a soft object like a pillow is a match made in heaven. Although you can find these pillows at many health stores, making it at home is so simple and rewarding, and makes for a great present as well.

Steps

Uses
First, pop your pillow into the microwave for about 30 seconds to heat it gently while releasing the scent of the oil. Then, you can put it anywhere that feels comfortable on your body. Over the eyes can be very soothing, or leaving it on your neck or back to release tension in your muscles.
