Insomnia can be devastating. If you can't get the sleep you need, you will quickly find yourself quite literally sick and tired. There are a number of things you can do, and relaxing aromatherapy should be front and center of your line of defense against insomnia.
Why is aromatherapy so effective?
One of the many reasons is that it sneaks past your conscious defenses. No matter how much you believe it won't work, your body won't care what you think. That's because aromatherapy works on the part of your brain that does not rely on conscious reasoning. And as a result, it helps you relax, and, hopefully, go to sleep.
Here are some of the most powerful relaxing aromatherapy essential oils:
Lavender
Lavender is well known as an aid to relaxation. It won't make you go to sleep by itself, and so it's quite helpful to keep a scent of lavender around during the day as well, when it will help you tame any stressors you might encounter.
At night, combine it with other scents and maybe other modalities for best effects.
Vanilla
Vanilla is a highly effective stress reducer, and it too can help you get a good night's sleep. You can use it alone or add it to a combination of ingredients designed to relax you and help you fall asleep quickly.
Labrador Tea
One of the more expensive remedies, Labrador Tea is also one of the most powerful relaxing essential oils you're likely to find. If you mix it with Lavender and maybe another scent or two, you may find yourself drifting off to sleep before you know it.
In fact, Labrador Tea's ability to help you relax is so powerful that you should absolutely avoid driving or operating heavy machinery. All the warning labels of usual sleeping aids and other relaxing medications definitely apply to Labrador Tea as well.
Valerian
Valerian is the standard herbal remedy for calming stressed-out nerves and for helping people sleep. It's a standard ingredient in just about any herbal remedy that helps you sleep.
It's also quite effective as an aromatherapy agent. However, its scent definitely takes some getting used to, so you may or may not want to mix it in with the above ingredients. If you're ready to invest in Labrador Tea, you probably won't need it. But if you're looking for a powerful budget option, Valerian can fit the bill.
Pre-Mixed Relaxing Aromatherapy Essential Oils
If you want an easier option than tracking down the above herbs, you may also want to check your local health food store for pre-mixed combinations suitable for relaxation or for helping you sleep. They're among the most widely available mixes, and will probably contain some of the above ingredients.
