Lavender, help me sleep!

Getting a good night's sleep can affect your day more than you realize. When we sleep well, we smile more, think better, are more patient and tolerant, and so on. Sleeping well is crucial for your mood and well-being, and for how you deal with the world around you.

There are plants that have been used for hundreds of years for their therapeutic properties, such as lavender. At least since the Middle Ages, lavender has been a source of perfumes, soaps, flavorings and crafts. Lavender has a long history of medicinal use and is suggested to have antidepressant, anti-anxiety and sedative properties.

Scientific research suggests that lavender is an excellent natural remedy for treating insomnia and improving sleep quality. Lavender is often used in aromatherapy (lavender inhalation), aromatherapy massage, oil dripping, and baths.

Here is a list of suggestions on how to turn lavender into your best friend for a good night's sleep:

Pouring a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow is how most people use lavender oil to help them sleep. But to avoid staining your sheets and bedding, you can put the drops on a cloth rag and put under your pillow.

Give yourself a foot massage with some coconut oil and a few drops of lavender essential oil before going to bed.

The most popular option is to drip a few drops of lavender essential oil into a diffuser an hour before going to bed. As the scent spreads through your bedroom, you should get a good night's sleep.

We wish you a relaxing sleep!
