As it is World Sleep Day on Friday I thought if you were having trouble getting off to sleep or staying asleep, here are a couple of essential oil blends that might be useful.
Lavender is the most well known oil to aid sleep. It is a popular oil with a reputation for relaxation and help bring about calm.
Not everyone likes lavender so I thought I would venture into a couple of alternatives.
If you are being kept awake by worry, a good blend is:
chamomile, marjoram and bergamot.
Chamomile is calming, marjoram helps you fall asleep especially if you are feeling anxious and bergamot is a sedative, slows your heart rate and lowers blood pressure.
Then the other night I was putting on a sleep cream by Neom and was thinking how lovely it smelled and this is now my favourite sleep blend:
Chamomile, cedarwood and Ylang Ylang.
As said before chamomile is very relaxing, cedarwood is grounding, comforting and a sedative and ylang ylang alleviates stress and anxiety and is also a sedative.
If you have a favourite sleep blend belt me know.
