Do you have trouble falling asleep at
night? Or do you wake up and have difficulty going back to sleep?
I think we all have these issues, at
least occasionally. Here are some essential oils that have worked for me, plus a
couple of others I have heard about. (All oils are from Young Living, of course!)
My first choice is always Peace &Calming.
It smells wonderful and usually puts me out pretty quickly! If it's time for
sleep but you are fighting it, put 2-3 drops in your palm, rub together, and
rub on your chest and face. This is also my go-to procedure if I wake up and my
mind is going crazy.
Lavender also works
well. I have not tried Cedarwood but others
testify to its effectiveness. Rub the oils on the soles of your feet if you
don't want the fragrance so close to your face (or if your sleep partner
objects).
The ultimate sleep inducer is Valerian, but I will
warn you, it smells awful! Definitely apply to your feet, sparingly, and put on
some socks. My joke is that you go to sleep to avoid the smell!!
As for snoring, Lavender works pretty
well; apply it directly to your big toes. You could also try RC (applied to the
throat/neck area) or Thyme (applied to the
feet). When applying to your feet, always rub the oil on your toes as well as
the soles.
Let me know if these work for you or if
you have other favorites!
