The Benefits of Essential Oils for Sleep
Essential oils are known for their various therapeutic properties, such as relieving stress, promoting relaxation, and aiding in sleep. The most effective essential oils for sleep include lavender, chamomile, valerian, and cedarwood. When applied properly, these oils can help you fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling refreshed.
Applying Roll-On Essential Oils for Sleep
Roll-on essential oils are small bottles containing a mixture of essential oils pre-diluted in carrier oil. They feature a rolling-ball applicator, which allows you to directly apply the oil to your skin without the need for any additional tools or accessories. Here are some key areas to apply roll-on essential oils for sleep:
1. Temples
Applying essential oils to your temples can help promote relaxation and ease tension headaches often associated with sleep troubles. Gently massage the oil in circular motions, but be careful to avoid the eye area.
2. Behind the Ears
Another effective area for roll-on application is just behind your ears. The skin here is thin and absorbs the oil quickly, allowing it to reach your bloodstream and take effect more promptly.
3. Wrists
Applying essential oils to your wrists not only allows for quick absorption but also lets you inhale the aroma throughout the night. Inhaling the scent of these oils can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, making it easier to drift off to sleep.
4. Chest
Massaging essential oils on your chest allows you to easily inhale the calming scent. This can aid in relieving tension and stress, enabling you to relax and enjoy a good night’s rest.
5. Feet
The soles of your feet have large pores and a rich blood supply, making them an ideal location for applying essential oils. Additionally, reflexology points on the feet connect with various body parts and organs, contributing to overall relaxation and sleep improvement.
Where To Roll Example:
For those who would like a concrete example, here’s a simple bedtime routine using Oshu Oils’ roll-on essential oil blends.
1. Begin by applying the Oshu Oils Sleep Blend to your temples, gently massaging it in using circular motions.
2. Apply the same blend behind your ears, taking care to avoid the sensitive eye area.
3. Roll the oil directly onto your wrists and take a few deep breaths, inhaling the soothing aroma of the blend.
4. Apply a small amount of the blend to your chest and gently massage it into your skin.
5. Finish by rolling the oil onto the soles of your feet, massaging it in for increased relaxation.
This routine can be easily incorporated into your nightly ritual, aiding in the relaxation and sleep improvements you desire.
