It seems everyone has sleep problems these days. Whether caused by medical problems, stress, a poor sleep environment or other factors, the effects on daytime mental and physical performance are significant. Commercials seem to pop up every evening for pills to help one sleep. These tend to address the effects of sleeplessness, but some homeopathic practitioners suggest targeting the source. They recommend using scent to sooth and reduce stress. Try the following essential oils and see if it helps your night’s rest:
- Lavender – add a drop or two to your pillow
- Vetiver – add a drop or two to a warm bath
- Sandalwood – place a drop on your wrist and massage it in
- Marjoram – a massage oil that’s known for its calming effects
If you are having persistent sleep problems, it’s best to see your doctor.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them.
Hope it helps, Robbie.
Thanks. I should really give this a try. I have struggled with sleep for a long time.
I mix lavender oil in some unscented lotion and put it on right before bedtime. It’s helped me a lot.
I use lavender every day =)
I’ll have to try the other suggestions! =)
intersting!
Thank you for the suggestions. The scent of lavender bothers me, so I truly appreciate you providing alternate solutions.
I love both the scent of lavender and the color.
I hope one of them works for you, Michelle.
