5 Best Essential Oils for a Good Night’s Sleep
Sleeping well is one of the best things we can do to support our health and wellbeing. But sometimes it’s really hard to do.
Our sense of smell is directly connected to the part of our brain that controls all of our unconscious physiological functions and behaviors. So that means when we smell an aroma that we find soothing and relaxing, our unconscious mind triggers the release of certain hormones and neurotransmitters that have been shown to relieve stress, anxiety and induce the relaxation response.
Here are 5 Essential Oils to support our sleep, so we can wake up feeling fully refreshed and rejuvenated.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Steam distilled from the flowering tops. Lavender essential oil is anti-inflammatory, sedative to the central nervous system, soothes anxiety, heals wounds and quiets the mind.
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) – Steam distilled from the flowering tops. Clary Sage essential oil is deeply sedating to muscle tension caused by mental stress; antispasmodic, anti-anxiety, deeply relaxing.
Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) – Steam distilled from the tiny delicate flowers, this essential oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer, immediately quells over-reactive emotions, quiets an overactive mind and makes us sleepy.
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) – Steam distilled from the common culinary herb. This essential oil has a spicy warming aroma that helps relax the body from emotional stress and tension. A strong antispasmodic, and muscle relaxer.
Coriander Seed (Coriandrum sativum) – Steam distilled from the seeds of the coriander culinary herb. This oil is known to feature molecules that relax the nervous system, and soothe the buzz from everyday stressors.
Now it’s your turn.
Try blending some of the essential oils together, like 3 drops of Clary Sage, 7 drops of Lavender and 3 drops of Coriander Seed, and then mixing the blend into 1 TBSP of carrier oil, like coconut oil, or Young Living's V6 vegetable oil complex, and apply the mix to the back of your neck and shoulders.
Take a minute to sit, or lay quietly and pay attention to your response. Sleep is on its way!

Featured Product: Life 9 Probiotic
As we approach a time of the year where immune support will be at the forefront of our minds, it’s important to consider the quality of our gut health. Without good probiotic bacteria in our guts, all the bad things we are exposed to can wreak havoc on our bodies. It is vitally important to flood our bodies with GOOD bacteria to support our immune systems properly. Make sure that you have a high quality probiotic that is multi-strain and will colonize your gut from top to bottom.
Life 9 has NINE different strains of probiotic bacteria, each carefully selected to diversify your gut flora. It also has 17 billion live and active cultures. It helps promote healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for the overall support of a healthy immune system. Take one targeted-release capsule every night following a meal or as needed.
This month we are covering THREE oils instead of one… with the ABCs!
A - Awaken
B - Brain Power
C - Clarity
Awaken contains five different blends that awaken and enhance inner self-awareness, which can then help you reach your highest potential. It stimulates right brain creativity and is an excellent oil to use on your pineal and pituitary glands. Diffuse or apply this oil any time you’re wanting to balance the energy centers of your body.
Brain Power promotes deep concentration and helps channel physical energy into mental energy. It is a blend of essential oils high in sesquiterpenes - Sacred Sandalwood, Blue Cypress, and Frankincense - and promotes a sense of clarity and focus when used aromatically. This oil can also help dissolve the synthetic petrochemicals that build up on our cell receptor sites from food, skin, hair care products, and air exposure - a.k.a. “brain fog.” Apply this oil daily and love on your brain!
Clarity blends Basil, Rosemary, Peppermint, and other essential oils for an aroma that invites a sense of clarity and alertness. It promotes a clear mind and can bring a greater energy and focus when needed. Apply or diffuse it during homework time or to rock that to-do list.
Well, that's it for now! I want to thank you for reading my words and please know, if there is anything I can do to help you on your Young Living journey, please don't hesitate to ask. If you are looking for a specific type of oil education, please let me know! I get joy from helping others learn how to use Young Living products!
Wishing you Wellness, Growth & Joy!
