sleep collection
Sometimes the enrollment kits available are not for you or you need something more specific…
This is a collection of oils to help you sleep. This is the one topic that comes up again and again- we seem to be a society that struggles to sleep!
Along with a whole lot of common-sense measures to prepare our bodies for sleep- essential oils can calm and sooth your body and mind and promote restful deep sleep.
We love and trust dōTERRA essential oils, as they are the purest and highest quality oils that we could find. This collection includes the 4 top oils for sleep, a carrier oil and a diffuser.
This is the go-to sleep oil and is universally known as the calming oil. Extracted from the lavender flower, this oil is sourced from the field of Provence. Traditionally it is used to balance the body and to work where there is a need.
If in doubt, use Lavender!
We use a few drops of lavender in the bath to calm the body and mind. Use a drop or two on your pillow so you breathe in the oil as you rest. Use Lavender along with any of the other sleep oils in a diffuser in your bedroom at night.
This is the heavy hitter for sleep. Extracted from the root if a plant grown in Haiti, this oil is known to have sedative-like qualities. As a natural tranquiliser, it helps to promote restful sleep. It is know to affect the parathyroid gland.
We use Vetiver in a *roller ball along with the other 4 oils under the soles of our feet at bed time.
It can also be used on it’s own, diluted with a carrier oil on the back of neck alongside a roller with all 4 oils used under the feet.
Frankincense is the king of oils and is known as the healing oil. From physical to emotional upsets, Frankincense can help. Extracted from the resin of the Frankincense tree in Somalia & Oman, it is one of the most prized oils. Frankincense eases restlessness and helps the body & mind quiet down and prepare for sleep. Frankincense is a wonderful blend and companion to Lavender.
We use Frankincense in a *roller ball along with the other 4 oils under the soles of our feet at bed time.
Frankincense is also fantastic when diffused with Lavender.
Wild Orange is one of the most popular oils. It is both uplifting and calming and is extracted from the rind of oranges grown in Cypress. Wild Orange helps the mind to relax and reduces anxiety.
Combined with the other sleep oils, Wild Orange helps the mind and body relax for a restful nights sleep.
We use Wild Orange in a *roller ball along with the other 4 oils under the soles of our feet at bed time.
Wild Orange can also be diffused in the evenings in the run-up to bedtime to help your body prepare for sleep.
Dilution is key with the use of essential oils. If in doubt dilute, dilute, dilute. The oils are powerful and a little goes a long way. Your oils should last a while and the best way to ensure that they do is with the sue of a carrier oil. There are many carrier oils that you can use from almond oil to olive oil.
We love coconut oil and even better fractionated coconut oil. To put it simply, fractionated coconut oil has the fat molecules removed. This means that when the fractionated coconut oil is mixed with the essential oil, they merge together and are absorbed quickly into the skin without greasy residue.
dōTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut oil is perfect for topical use.
A diffuser is an essential tool for your home. It can literally change the environment in your house. The oils are powerful cleansers and mood changers and used regularly, the atmosphere in your home will be noticeably different.
The right diffuser is important. Chose one that does not heat the oil as this will change the molecular structure and the oil will lose its potency.
We love dōTERRA’s Petal diffuser. It’s the most economical atomizing diffuser and is stable and kid friendly.
For sleep, make sure your diffuser is on with any of the 4 sleep oils (2 drops of each is more than enough) at least an hour before bedtime with the bedroom door shut, to ensure that the oils have the time to create sleep magic!
All oils are used for a variety of purposes and every oil is multi-use. So you are not just purchasing oils for sleep, you are setting up your natural medicine cabinet. You will find that these 4 oils can help you and your family in so many different ways.
