Insomnia Remedy

There are many Essential oils that can be used in an effective Insomnia Remedy.

Many of these oils have been the subject of intense study and have proved themselves among medical professionals to be legitimate courses of treatment.

On this page we will discuss these "single oil" treatments as well as "blends" that have shown themselves to be highly effective remedies for a very common problem.

What is Insomnia

If you have difficulty sleeping 3 or more nights a week over a 4 week period then you can say that you are suffering from insomnia. It is important for your health that you get about 7 hours of sleep per night. (Children need 9 hours) 

This common sleep disorder, which affects 1 in 5 people, can affect your quality of life and even your health. 

If you or a loved one is concerned about this problem then perhaps you will be interested in a natural insomnia remedy like essential oils.

Single Oils For Insomnia

If you have a severe issue with insomnia I recommend that you consult with a medical professional because there may be some serious health issues that are interfering with a healthy sleep schedule.

If you don't believe there is any immediate danger to your health I have some oils to suggest you try. Perhaps you can even refer some of these remedies to your doctor.

Balsam Fir

Balsam Fir can be used to calm anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress. Native Americans were known to use fir needles to stuff pillows in order to provide a nice peaceful sleep.

Balsam Fir can be applied externally as well as internally and by diffusion to help with insomnia.

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil mixed with some Epsom salts in your bath or diffused into your indoor environment has the ability to reduce depression and ease stress and anxiety.

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Clary Sage Essential Oil can relax you both mentally and physically.

For a peaceful night’s sleep, diffuse the oil or apply a couple drops to a tissue and place it on your pillow. For even better results include some Roman Chamomile with your Clary Sage.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil is very effective at relaxing the mind and body and has been used for several millenniums for this purpose.

My wife often has problems getting to sleep or waking up in the middle of the night. We have found that rubbing some Lavender Oil on the soles of her feet at bed time helps her fall asleep quickly and provides a restful nights sleep.

Orange Essential Oil

Try pampering yourself with a hot bath using 15 drops of Orange Oil in one cup of Epsom salts. Add the combination slowly to the water after filling the tub so the aroma will be released gradually.

As an insomnia remedy, Chamomile is known to be a mild tranquilizer which can calm the body and deepen sleep.
