Essential Oils For Insomnia

February 18, 2018 //  by RelaxationMoments//  Leave a Comment

There are few things in life more frustrating than having trouble sleeping. Sleeping is important for both your mental and physical health, and insomnia tends to get worse over time. Instead of relying on harsh medications, try some of these essential oils.

Chamomile

Chamomile tea is frequently recommended for insomnia, but not because of some magic elixir, but because of the chamomile herb. This is really effective at calming both your body and mind, relieving stress, and reducing tension. This is why the tea is so wonderful for insomnia. The same can be said for chamomile essential oil. If you can find it, try to get the Roman chamomile oil, which has some additional soothing properties to really create a relaxing environment that is conducive to good sleep.

Ylang Ylang

If you are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, you might also want to try ylang ylang essential oil. This is often used to relax your mind and body, with a fruity and floral scent that is very soothing and relaxing. When using it for insomnia, ylang ylang is best added to a blend with other relaxing scents, either to a diffuser placed in your bedroom or with a relaxing bath before you get ready for sleep.

Lavender

It should come as no surprise that lavender essential oil is helpful for insomnia. When you have trouble sleeping, it is often due to not being able to relax. This might be from certain body pains, a lot of stress and anxiety, or even depression. With lavender essential oil, it is really calming and can relax your mind and your body. As with other essential oils being used for insomnia, it is recommended in a bath, in your tea before bed, or when using a diffuser in your bedroom. Add the oil to your regular bedtime routine and you should start sleeping a little better.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood is not an essential oil often used alone, but you can easily add it to your blends when trying to improve insomnia. This is a rich, earthy scent that is frequently used in seasonal blends because of the woodsy aroma it provides. It is a little more expensive than other essential oils, but it is great to try out when you are having trouble sleeping and other oils don’t seem to be making much of an impact for you. Go ahead and give it a try and see how well it works for you.
