Curing Insomnia with Aromatherapy

15-25% of adults can suffer from sleepless nights. There are alternatives to the use of drugs to induce sleep.

These essential oils can help you in treating insomnia:

Camomile
Patchouli
Sandalwood
Neroli
Ylang-ylang
Marjoram

You can use ten drops in your bath and soak well. Or for massage use 12 drops in 4 fl oz (100 ml) of a carrier oil.

A warm bath just before bed is a great way to relax. The warmth can help you to feel sleepy, and adding 2 drops each of the essential oils of orange blossom, meadowsweet and hops can insure a restful night.

Or inhale neat and sprinkle a few drops on your pillow.

Camomile is one of the most sedative oils and you could also try using it in a burner, and drinking camomile tea before you go to bed.

dropper bottle to keep by your bedside. Take four to six
drops to help you sleep with no drowsiness the next
morning. - Submitted by Ashlee
