Millions of Americans toss and turn every night, watching aimlessly as the hours slip away until morning arrives and they are as exhausted, sometimes more, than when they went to bed. Insomnia has reached epidemic proportions in many developed countries where people are busy, stress is common and ample rest is not as well respected as it should be. Essential oils can be a highly effective way to promote sound sleep.

Cedarwood Essential Oil

Besides being a powerful anti-inflammatory, expectorant and antiseptic, cedarwood is also relaxing, calming and comforting. It’s warm and woodsy aroma just makes you feel like snuggling up with a cup of tea and your favorite book. Use in your diffuser or Cedarwood stimulates the pineal gland which releases melatonin – necessary for sleep regulation. Place a couple of drops diluted in a carrier oil on your forehead, on the underside of your wrists and where your neck and head meet.

Orange Essential Oil

If you toss and turn at night because of stress, orange essential oil may help to reduce your anxiety so you can sleep. All citrus oils have uplifting properties that also help with depression. It is important to note that citrus oils may cause photo sensitivity when exposed to light within 12 hours of use. For this reason, it is best to use at night if you are going to put the oil on your skin. Place a couple of drops diluted in a carrier oil on your abdomen, or use in a diffuser.

Valerian Essential Oil

Quite possibly one of the most commonly used oils for sleep, valerian can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep. This oil has a calming and grounding effect and can be used topically, applied to the bottom of your feet or inside of your wrists.
