Question on Insomnia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I have been a silent member for a little while as I am a total newbie

to crystals but wanting to learn.

 

My mom suffers from insomnia and some nights she tries so many things

trying to get to sleep and finally has to take a pill which she hates,

just to get some sleep. So I wondered if there was a crystal that she

could get that would help her to have a peaceful sleep, she is 80 and

getting a good night sleep every night would be a godsend and give her

the energy to get through her days without feeling drab.

 

Thanks for any info.

did she already try lavender?

like a lavender herb pillow, or a drop of etheric ;avender oil on her pillow

case?

Hi, Charlotte - Re the above, perhaps your mum could try putting a piece of

amber under her pillow (which I found incredibly useful for soothing an

over-active mind) or amethyst which is known for its calming ability and helping

to sleep - although I guess it may vary from person to person. Green

chrysoprase is also supposed to be good (I know it's recommended for dreaming).

So maybe these stones might help.

 

I'd also try a couple of drops of lavender essential oil on her pillow, as

Edda suggests, but make sure it's good quality therapeutic oil and not a cheap

variety which is chemical and so does more harm than good. Also, if she's

stressed about getting to sleep, a couple of drops of marjoram on her pillow

might help, as this dulls anxiety. You can use it for about a week and then

leave off, otherwise it desensitises you too much. Also, be careful about using

essential oils directly on the skin, especially if she's older and may have

sensitive skin. Lavender is usually okay, but just check, better on the pillow.

 

Also valerian tea (hold your nose while you drink this!) or chamomile tea

before bed might help too.

 

Love and hugs,

Mo.
