Lemons to Lemonade

Welcome back!

It’s National Sleep Awareness Week®,  an annual public education and awareness campaign to promote the importance of sleep .  Sleep is not overrated as some people claim, it is very important to our health and well being.

For better sleep you should not eat or drink large amounts before bedtime, avoid caffeine and exercise regularly.

There are many ways to use lavender as a natural sleep aid. You can use the fresh or dried plant, or essential oil.

Try some of these  tips to increase the quality of your sleep .

•    Use a Lavender Comfort Pillow to warm your bed and body  or a Lavender Eye Mask to rest your eyes with aromatherapy.

•    Sprinkle up to 3 drops of lavender essential oil on a piece of tissue or cotton ball and place it inside your pillow case or use  a dream pillow.

•    Place a few drops of lavender essential oil in an electric diffuser in your bedroom.

•    Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your bath water and soak for a few minutes before sleeping.

•    Rub your feet with a few drops of  *lavender essential oil and cover with cotton socks before sleeping.

•    Make a lavender wand from sprigs of lavender from your garden and place it under/or near your pillow.

*I recommend only certified pure therapeutic essential oils when using topically
