Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils and insomnia

[Guest guest]

Dear Members with sleep disorders,

 

You may be interested. This passage is from the essential desk

reference for essential oils.

 

After the age 40, sleep quality and quantity deteriorates

substantially as melatonin production in the brain declines.

Supplimental melatonin has been researched to dramatically improve

sleep/wake cycles and combate age-related insomnia.

 

Insomnia may also be caused by bowel or liver toxicity, poor heart

function, negative memories and trauma, depression, mineral

deficiencies, hormone imbalance or underactive thyroid.

 

The fragrance of many Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils can exert a

powerful calming effect on the mind through their influence on the

limbic region of the brain.

 

Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils recommended

 

Valerian, lavender, cedarwood, lemon, German chamomile, Roman

chamomile, mandarin, Idaho balsam fir, rosemary, cypress.

 

I use Therapeutic-Grade cedarwood essential oil for deep sleep.

 

Sincerely,

 

Roy A. Hewitt

being somewhat new to the essential oils, can you explain how

to " use " them before sleep? do you just sniff it, or put it on the

skin?

Hi Shanna,

 

I like to put a few drops of EO on a cotton ball and just keep it under

my pillow at night. If I wake up, I take in the aroma while setting the

intention to drift back off into blissful slumber. It works!

 

I would suggest avoiding Rosemary which is actually very stimulating.

Stick with lavender or chamomile for best results.

You can use a diffuser (cold) 30-60 minutes before bed, apply 1-3 drops

on a cotton ball and place by your pillow, apply 1-3 drops to stomache

and shoulders and the bottom of your feet, or make bath salts and use

just before bed.

 

Good luck.

shanna,

 

My personal formula for sleeping through the night is : therapeutic

grade lavender essential oil (a drop or two on my pillow), 200 mg of

5HTP before bedtime, 200 mg Magnesium Bisglycinate with 500 mg Vitamin

C , just before bed. Changing my diet during the day (quality protein

at every meal, no sugar, no white flour) and adding exercise earlier

in the day also have made things much better. A nice warm bath with

some epsom salts and a dash of lavender oil is another nice way to

help get a restful sleep.

 

Hope this helps,
