I typically don’t have issues sleeping but it sometimes does take me awhile to fall asleep in which I have started to apply oils before bed. I think doing work late at night or doing something on the computer can sometimes over stimulate my brain and I need time to calm the mind before heading to bed. I have found a few oils that help calm me so that sleep comes a little easier.
Vetiver
One of the main oils I have come to love is Vetiver. It is a complex, woods aroma that is renowned for its balancing and grounding uses. It also has historically been acknowledged for its soothing and calming effects and stimulating effects on the nervous system. Vetiver can be both calming and rejuvenating to the body and mind.
Vetiver, with its calming properties, has been known to dispel anger, hysteria and irritability. Further, even neurotic behavior stemming from stress and tension has been reduced.
Apply 3-4 drops on the bottom of the feet before bed.
Calming blend
It is the perfect blend to relax the body, calm the mind and emotions and leave you a peaceful feeling. This is the perfect blend to diffuse at bedtime for a restful night’s sleep, to calm a restless baby or child, or to help reduce the anxiety and stress so many of us feel.
Diffuse for soothing and calming; it is especially effective if used before bedtime to induce a restful sleep.
Apply topically with light massage to feet or temples for stress relief and to increase a sense of well-being.
These oils are a much healthier way to induce sleep instead of using sleep aids. The oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade and tested for their potency and purity. Safe to not only diffuse but apply on to your skin.
Any questions about these or other uses for oils? Send me your questions.
