For as long as I can remember I have been able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere. I literally get into bed at night and pass out within five minutes of laying there. I thought I was getting good sleep.
A few months ago I started researching and purchased my first few essential oils. Since then I have amassed quite the collection and got my first diffuser a few weeks ago. I have tried different oil combinations for numerous things (allergies, cramps, headaches, etc) but never tried any for sleep because I thought I didn’t need it.
The first day I got my diffuser I used it all day long diffusing oils for energy, oils to put me in a better mood, and oils to clean the air. I was addicted. HA! When it came time to go to bed I almost put the diffuser up but at the last minute I decided to put it by my bed and diffuse some Lavender. I slept about the same as I always had.
The next morning I started researching oils for better sleep and decided to mix Lavender and Balance that night when I went to bed. Y’all. I have never slept better in my life. Yes, I had always gone to sleep with no problem but I didn’t realize I was waking up all night and tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable and never really got a sound night’s sleep until I actually got one. I seriously love this stuff!
I have been using my little concoction for about two weeks now and I am obsessed. HA! I still go to sleep really easy but now I actually sleep all night. No waking up or tossing and turning. A few nights I swear I don’t even move at all and I wake up in the exact same position as when I went to sleep.
Even crazy Sophie puppy has been sleeping better! No up and down, off and on the bed all night. Can I get a hallelujah and praise Jesus?! In case you were wondering, it’s perfectly dafe to use oils on your pets.
Here is a little info about both Lavender and Balance…
I love Balance. I use it in the mornings with Citrus Bliss in my car diffuser to put me in a better mood. It’s amazing stuff y’all!
If you would like more info on essential oils I would be glad to help you and answer your question!! You can also visit my DōTERRA website.
Have you ever used essential oils?
Do you have trouble sleeping at night?
My hubby is one of those people that can literally fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I am not one of those people. It takes my brain a while to settle down.
Balance sounds like a great oil blend. I’ve never tried it before, but it sounds like it would really help me.
I have heard alot about these oils. My ex husband use to swear by a couple of them years ago. It was his way of dealing with a toothache.
I have the lavender, but I’ve never used Balance before. I don’t have a hard time falling asleep, but I do toss and turn throughout the night. I’ll try it.
I love absolutely essential oils! I have over 50 different ones and use it for about everything!
I love essential oils. I have been using lavender for a while now and I love it. Essential oils are fantastic!
A lavender scent would be really nice. I can imagine that having that scent in the room would be calming.
I’d like to try the lavender. That’s a scent that’s really gained appeal for me in the last few years or so.
I would love this. I have such a hard time sleeping anymore. It’s not fun. My husband snores in minutes but it can take me hours.
I love using essential oils. Lavender is a great one to help me fall asleep. I love eucalyptus when i am stuffed up.
I so need this. I’ve been having insomnia recently and it’s horrible! I’m always tired and with a toddler, I need energy. The Lavender one will be perfect for me.
Maybe the balance one will be better but … I love Lavender!
Yes, Yes, Yes. I am in need of both essential oils. I could really use a good a night sleep with Lavender. But most importantly Balance to keep up with my 2 year old.
Lavender is my favorite oil. I go through it like crazy. I haven’t tried balance yet.
Thank you for sharing this. I have been looking for something I can use for me to sleep well.
This sounds amazing but I have an allergy to Lavender. The Balance sounds like it would work for me at night or even in the day. I have problem with anxiety and having fibromyalgia doesn’t help. I have to get a diffuser for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to get a really good night’s sleep. Lavender is so relaxing!
This sounds great! I am so need of sleep! I wonder if this would work for me?
I love essential oils! Lavender has a wealth of benefits, including getting a good night’s sleep.
I use essential oils on a regular basis (they’ll make a wee one pass out quicktime too!) in my home, although I’ve never come across the Balance one before. I’m going to have to check it out. Thanks! :)
