Lavender and Jasmine Sleep Aid Wellness Oil
Lots of evidence has surfaced in recent years (including major studies in 2002 and 2005) that confirms the age-old beliefs that Lavender and Jasmine can help you sleep better. Some reports show them to be even more effective than sleeping pills. Plus they are non habit-forming and smell good!
Lavender and Jasmine Essential Oils Tested
The journal Chronobiology International published a 2005 study that showed Lavender essential oils to have a mild sedative effect on participants and to promote deep sleep.
The study had 31 healthy people spend 3 nights in a sleep lab. The first night was to allow them to adapt to sleeping in the lab.
During the second night, Lavender oil was administered to the air in the lab. During the third night, distilled water was administered instead of Lavender.
Here are the reported results:
- Participants spent a greater percentage of their sleep time in deep or slow-wave sleep.
- Participants enjoyed more Stage 2 (light) sleep.
- Participants spent less time in rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep.
- Participants reported feeling more vigorous the morning after the Lavender oil was administered.
Similarly, Jasmine has long been known for its sedative powers and its ability to relieve stress and anxiety, factors which can definitely interfere with sleep!
How to Benefit from Lavender and Jasmine
 |
The most basic way to gain the sleep-inducing benefits of Lavender and Jasmine is by applying a few drops of their essential oils right before bed. You can apply them to your chest and shoulder areas, as well as over your heart and on your temples, as described in the video. The video also describes additional ways that lavender essential oil in particular can help you sleep or deal with stressful situations.
Natures Inventory has created a Sleep Aid Wellness Oil that combines Lavender, Jasmine, and Sandalwood (another renowned herb with mild sedative effects) into a natural, guaranteed organic, certified vegan sleep oil. Try it for a deeper, more restful sleep.
I recommend this oil to everyone I know who has trouble sleeping or falling asleep. My husband has always been able to go to sleep quickly while I stayed awake each evening. I use this oil nightly because it helps me fall asleep and I sleep soundly. My friends who seem to have the same problem have tried the Sleep Aid Wellness Oil
and just can’t believe it actually works! I do like the idea that the oils are all natural and that they do not interfere with any medication being taken.
