Last week, several women mentioned that they have insomnia. They don’t sleep well and it affects their lives in a negative way. We decided to share our solutions to insomnia. One suggestion was to bring the aromatherapy remedy that we used last year. We also want to find out from everyone what causes insomnia and what helps to get rid of it. Please share your experience and then we will write up the suggestions.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils of natural plants and trees to create positive health -both physical and mental/emotional. A recommended blend for curing insomnia is:
(Valerian is also recommended but we weren’t able to find it)
Put 2 drops of this blended mixture in one teaspoon of a carrier oil such as grapeseed or sweet almond oil. If you have a bathtub, put three drops of the blended mixture into your bath.
Remember to never put the essential oils directly onto your skin. Put them into a carrier oil first.
Insomnia can be caused by many reasons. Anxiety, stress, drugs, poor digestion, and stimulants can all cause you to lose sleep.
Women reported that fear (nightmares) was a cause of insomnia. Loneliness, missing someone, also made nights hard and resulted in poor sleeping. Other women found that eating lots of sugar contributed to insomnia.
