It's a busy time of year! If you feel like you need some help unwinding at night, you can try this simple technique to encourage a peaceful and restful night of sleep. Take 1 drops of lavender or neroli essential oil and place it on a cotton ball. Place the cotton ball at the top edge of your pillow (keep away from your eyes) or on the ground next to your bed right before you go to sleep. The oil will naturally diffuse into the air all night and help you to relax both mentally and physically.
You do want to be careful with your use of essential oils and not use the same oils every night and give yourself a break from using oils. I recommend trying this a few times a week, rotating oils. Other oils you can try would be roman chamomile or bergamont. If you are nursing or pregnant, you should consult your physician before using essential oils.
I personally have used lavender and neroli with much success and have woken up feeling much more rested and relaxed. You do want to to be sure that you are buying oils from reputable sources. I can recommend these two: Floracopeia and Florihana. You want to be sure that your oils are 100% pure and organic and have not be adulterated in any way, as adulteration could actually cause adverse reactions.
