Your Body Craves Sleep
So it has been a busy transition from Thanksgiving into the New Year.
Probably been burning the candle at both ends to speak.
Your body is craving sleep. Need to catch up on your sleep.
What is the best aid to sleep?
Insomnia is an individual experience just as any remedy or treatment by
prescription is an experience on the individual. Testing different essential oils
in different fashions may provide a natural solution to obtain better sleep. At
bedtime less essential aroma is better. A strong concentration of any aroma
can be stimulating, just as loud music played when attempting to go to sleep
can keep you awake. Experiment to find your ideal scent for sleep by using an
oil of choice on a cotton ball placed under the pillow, diffused throughout the
room, diluted in an atomizer of water “spritzed” as a hydrosol on the body, or
massaged on the reflexology points under the big toes.
The following essential oils have been suggested to be safe sleep aids:
bergamot, Lavandula angustifolia, Ravensara aromatica, mandarin, neroli,
sweet orange, Melissa officinalis, sandalwood, roman chamomile, and
valerian.
