2 10-by-10-inch pieces of muslin

4 ounces dried chamomile flowers

With a pencil and ruler, mark off 2-inch squares on both pieces of fabric, with 3/8-inch seam allowances around each square. You should have 32 squares. Place one of the pieces of muslin down and put 1 teaspoon chamomile in the center of each square. Cover with the other piece of fabric and pin. Sew along the guidelines you have made for yourself. Cut apart. Makes 16. To use, place 2 in a small bowl and pour 1 tablespoon of boiling water over pads. Cover and let sit until lukewarm. Squeeze gently and apply to dosed eyelids for 15 minutes.
