​​Sleepy Post (pt.1)

If you are amongst those struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep, essential oils may help.
National Library of Medicine studies have found that aromatherapy may be a safe alternative to pharmaceutical interventions for mild sleep disturbances.

What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are extracted from plants in a way so they retain their original properties. Extraction is a process of obtaining a plant’s active botanical constituents—a liquified version of the plant.

When you use essential oils, you gain maximum benefits of the plant because of its active botanical constituents, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, minerals, and phenols are directly brought to you.

Different Ways of Using Essential Oils for Sleep
• Rub a few drops on certain parts of your body.
• Candles, which have wax infused with essential oils.
• Few drops in an air diffuser, which disperses the fragrance in your room.
• Few drops of oils on your hand and rub your palms together.
• Add essential oils to water and spray in your room or your pillow.
