Aromatherapy As a Natural Sleep Aid

NO More worries about taking addictive Sleep Medications!

Aromatherapy is commonly used to alleviate stress, but it’s also useful in aiding sleep and treating sleep disorders. Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils to comfort and heal, and it is one of the fastest growing alternative therapies in the Western world. In aromatherapy, the essential oils are used externally rather than taken internally.

Essential oils are said to stimulate an area of the brain, known as the limbic system, that controls your moods and emotions. Sleep is a crucial component of human life, and all mammal, reptile and bird life need it. Sleep helps to refresh, restore and heal the body and the brain.





How Much Sleep Do You Need?

According to webmd.com, a typical adult needs between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, although some people only need five hours and others need 10. When a person runs a “sleep deficit,” meaning they have not had enough sleep in previous nights, then they will require more sleep in subsequent nights.

Sleep Quality vs. Quantity

Although the quantity of sleep is important, quality of sleep is also significant. According to the Better Sleep Council of Canada, six hours of uninterrupted sleep is better than eight hours of disturbed sleep. Disturbed sleep usually includes periods of wakefulness and/or periods of tossing and turning. It can also include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up.

What Causes Sleep Problems?

There are many causes of sleep problems including:
  • Pain – Pain can cause difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep. Pain medications may help alleviate this but some have added side effects.
  • Poor Diet – Caffeine, alcohol and a large snack before bed can all cause sleep disturbances. Drinking any fluids before bedtime can make some people prone to wake to go to the bathroom.
  • Bedroom Temperature -  A bedroom which is too warm or too cold can affect sleep. The ideal bedroom temperature is about 60ยบ
  • Bed – Uncomfortable beds can cause back pain as well as make people need to toss and turn more than usual. Ensure the bed is no more than 10 years old and is appropriately designed and manufactured.
  • Noise and Light – People sleep best when their environment is quiet and dark. Remove any sources of noise or light.
  • Snoring – Either partner’s snoring can cause sleep disturbance.
  • Anxiety – Emotional turmoil, anxiety and stress can all cause a person to lie awake worrying or wake up suddenly and be unable to return to sleep while the mind is racing.

A Natural Way to Help Ease Nicotine Cravings and Sleep Better!

Did you know that Aromatherapy could actually help you quit smoking cigarettes? Why spend hundreds of dollars on a patch? When you could be spending your money on relaxation and better sleep right?

What most people do not know is the fact that Aromatherapy (the inhaling of essential oils to heal our bodies and influence emotions) dates back thousands of years. Aromatic oils were actually used by the royal families of ancient Egypt. Today, science is confirming what some cultures have known for centuries: scent can arouse feelings, suppress urges and even provide curative benefit to certain physical ailments.

Simply by breathing the aromatherapy while you are sleeping, you send scent molecules into your system where they entirely bypass the brain-blood barrier and move directly to you brain’s olfactory nerve. There they are received by the limbic system, your body’s control center for emotions, memory, stress response, metabolic function and sexual arousal.


Many people feel the effects immediately and the best part is that Aromatherapy is completely safe and non addictive, so feel free to use as often as you would like!

Aromatherapy and essential oils change moods and influence how you feel. Scents that are believed to help relieve the effects of nicotine addiction are lavender, bergamot, and chamomile.  A number of people have found that bergamot takes away smoking cravings for cigarettes, helping them give up smoking more easily.

Again, keep in mind the emotional moods and symptoms you experience everyday.  Now you might want to consider using a product like Sleep Scentsations when you are feeling aggravated (especially after a long day of work) because you are trying to quit and you are feeling withdrawals.  Inhaling a calming scent like Ginger and Amber will help you relax and fall asleep before you may even reach for that cigarette!

Vaporizer
Using essential oils is a simple but very effective way to help you through something that is so challenging.  Why not spend $20 bucks for a lifetime of better breathing?
