Jasmine & Lavender Provide Help for Sleep Problems
People plagued with sleep problems will go to almost any lengths to sleep, including taking potentially harmful or addictive sleeping pills. What you really need is natural sleep help, something that will help you get a deeper, more restful night's sleep without relying on drugs.
Luckily, researchers have discovered that there are natural substances that facilitate coping with sleep problems. Several years ago, a study published in the journal Chronobiology International stated that lavender essential oil, can act as a subtle sedative, which makes it easier for you to go to sleep and promotes deeper sleep. The study reported that when people were exposed to lavender at bedtime, they::
- Increased the amount of time they were in a deep sleep
- Spent less time in REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep
- Reported feeling more energetic in the morning
To sum up the results of the study, people who inhaled lavender when they went to bed got a better night's sleep and felt better the next day. These results are similar to those found a few years earlier, when test subjects were exposed to the scent of jasmine at bedtime, making the combination of lavender and jasmine promising as a way to help you get a deep, restful sleep without having to resort to potentially harmful or habit-causing sleeping pills.
While there are many ways you could bring the scents of lavender and jasmine to your bedroom, one easy way to do it would be to apply an oil containing them before you go to bed. Smoothing a small amount of such an oil onto your chest or shoulders would surround you with the therapeutic scents all night, providing natural sleep help without any fuss or bother.
It's unlikely you will find certified-organic natural sleep help (with or without jasmine and lavender) at a chain pharmacy. One great option is to try Nature's Inventory Natural Sleep Aid, a certified organic, vegan Wellness Oil made with jasmine and lavender with jojoba and sandalwood oils to give you a deeper, more relaxing night's sleep without drugs or pills.
