10/20/20 Tuesday Tip: Not sleeping well? Try aromatherapy at bedtime. I have an essential oil diffuser that I use nightly before bed. The diffuser works with water and I use lavender and lemongrass essential oils together to relax, lessen stress and anxiety. My diffuser has a timer that can be set for 30 minutes, one hour or two hours. I don’t fall asleep right away, so I always set mine for two hours. By the time it stops, I am asleep. Essential oils and diffusers can be found online, at drug stores and at stores like Target and Walmart. It is best if you get 100% pure essential oils and only use 10 – 15 drops with water for best results without overwhelming your olfactory system. Not just for use at night, aromatherapy can be used throughout the day. If you find your interest in this topic leads to doing research, you will find that there are different essential oils that can be used to encourage health in different areas of your body. For example, Sandalwood for focus, Peppermint for energy, Rose to reduce anxiety and Lemon to help with headaches. Be sure to read carefully because some scents are not good to use around pets. ...
