HEALING

Herb bags smell nice and can be used for many herbal health purposes, such as helping you to get breathe more easily through a cold. This article will show you how to make your own at home.

Steps

1. Take some fabric and sew it so you have a bag. The bag only has to be the size of a calculator or smaller.
2. Fill your bag with special herbs and spices. You can use any kind that you want, such as cinnamon, peppermint or dry flower petals.
3. Sew the opening together so that the contents don't spill out.
4. Heat the bag in the microwave. Always add a glass of water each time you heat, to provide moisture and to stop the bag from catching fire.
5. Enjoy!

Tips

• Use a fabric that is soft. It will feel like a pillow!
• Children should have adult supervision when sewing this.
• If you prefer to replace the contents, sew a casing and a drawstring and pull it tight.

Warnings

• Always check for allergic reactions to the herbs and spices that you intend to use.
