So sleep is in, but how can you make sure you get a better night of sleep? If you don’t want to use over-the-counter and prescription medications, an essential oil blend is one type of all-natural sleep aid you can choose. Essential oils can be a powerful way to help you relax and sleep better.

This essential oil blend called Sleep has the following benefits:

Balsam – calms, relieves fear, worry, and anxiety

Orange bergamot – calms, soothes, destresses, fights depression

Spearmint – relieves the stress and worries of the day to promote sleep

Ylang ylang – calms, relaxes

Palmarosa – relaxes, helps to reverse exhaustion

Passion flower – calms an anxious mind, reduces anxiety and hyperactivity

Wormwood – calms down the nervous system, reduces insomnia and stress

Coconut oil base – has “lighten up” energy potential in it, find fun, laugh

This blend can be placed directly on the skin. I advise placing a drop or two on the soles of the feet, on the lower belly, and near the clavicle. It may also be used in a diffuser.

• The calming effect of essential oils has been the subject of research studies that have found that essential oil odors can lead to lower levels of anxiety, a more positive mood, and a higher level of calmness to aid sleep.

• Anxiety is something that kids struggle with and that can lead to problems with focus as well as have an impact on kids’ sleeping habits. Essential oils are a practical, easy-to-use and natural solution which can help calm kids struggling with anger, anxiety, and sleep issues.

• They are a safe way to relax your child by calming the mind and bringing on a sense of tranquility. Great at bedtime to get a peaceful night’s sleep. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.

• Put a few drops of this sweet smelling blend in an aromatherapy diffuser or massage into your child’s skin on his or her neck or chest and on the soles of the feet. Our blends already have a carrier oil in them so are made for use right away. No need to find your own carrier oil and mix in.
