Insomnia - Habitual sleeplessness
Insomnia may indicate an acidic body. Sometimes we are acidic when we are under more stress than usual. This is certainly something to consider. Testing acidity with pH strips (which should be available at local health food stores) and eating a diet conscious of pH may turn the situation around. Raw fruits are alkaline as well as raw greens such as spinach. Yogurt, almonds and pumpkin seeds help alkalize, too.
Testimonials
1. I used to take a sleeping pill every night, but no more! I purchased an Economy diffuser and placed it next to the bed with half LAVENDER and half CEDARWOOD. I also like to put a few drops of this blend into the palm of my hand and dip my finger into the oil so I can apply a bit to my forehead and under my ears. Next I rub my hands together, swish them over my jaw/cheeks and finally onto my pillowcase. This puts me out like a light.
2. I use a few drops of LAVENDER and PEACEFUL every night at bedtime. I just spread a few drops across both the bottoms of my feet and climb into bed. Next, I cup my hands (with the remnants of the oils still on them) and breathe deeply. Within a few minutes, I am out “like a light” and don’t wake up until morning.
3. BONES & JOINTS usually works for me for insomnia. I drop some in the palms of my hands and try to get as much on my spine as I can. I also rub it on the bottoms of my feet. I also find that straight VETIVER is wonderfully powerful. I a drop right on my tongue and hold my tongue to the roof of my mouth. It’s a slow-moving oil (thick), so it takes a while for it to come out of the bottles. Vetiver is also good for depression, ADD and so on. PEACEFUL, LAVENDER and MANGER GIFT are also good ones to try. I like them all!
4. I put LAVENDER on my wrists to help me go to sleep.
5. CEDARWOOD is my favorite sleep oil! I put a drop on a tissue and sleep with it next to my nose! It is heaven!
6. LAVENDER, ROMAN CHAMOMILE and DILL work well for me.
7. Believe it or not, IMMUNITION works for insomnia. I found this out by accident when I was trying to avoid getting the flu. Every night I’d rub Immunition on the bottoms of my feet and I’d sleep like a baby. When the flu passed and I stopped, I tossed and turned again as usual. When it clicked that it may have been the Immunition that had helped me, I went back to rubbing it on the bottoms of my feet before bedtime and now sleep well every night. Wow. I guess it helps my body produce just the right amount of melatonin to put me to sleep.
8. My husband has been putting CEDARWOOD in his left hand, then he rubs his hands together and inhales to help promote melatonin. This works to help him have a deep sleep. I use it as well!
9. I'm using MANGER GIFT for insomnia, and for the first time in years, I can sleep
for 7 hours straight without even moving (or waking to to use the
bathroom!), but the best part is that I don't dream and thus I wake
much more rested—thank you! My daughter won't go to bed without it. She
has been suffering with headaches for years, but since she started
college they have become unbearable. Manger Gift does not take them
away, but does allow her to sleep.
10. My husband and I have been using Cedarwood at night to help sleep. It is working great. We put several drops on one hand, and rub both hands together then inhale it. I read it helps produce melatonin. We both sleep wonderfully!
