Cedarwood essential oil: Helps to soothe the mind and body. It has a calming warm, woody scent that promotes a feeling of relaxation.

Those sound like a great combination. After years as an airline pilot where my sleep schedule was crazy, now thatI’m working 8 to 5 I’m having trouble getting to sleep. This should help. To pass on – if you have a stressed pet (I’m a rescue dog mom), with changes in the home or weather, eucalyptus essential oil is extremely calming – just a couple of drops rubbed around the shoulders and head (my Vet recommended).
Sounds good to me….can’t wait to try this….as soon as I get the ingredients 🙂
Can you give us some more helpful hints. ?
What about a disinfectant spray for the Kitchen and Bathroom……
this is something I really need, I stay up to nearly 2 in the morning slowly is adding time. Thank you for this
Where can I get the bottle?
Hi,
Thank you for this great information.
I’ve read so many articles about using the essentials as a ‘spray’ for pillows and sheets. My concern is about the oils staining the fabrics. ??? I have a couple essential oils, including the Lavender and Ylang Ylang on the nightstand and inhale a few times before hopping into bed. Are you just misting from a distance?
Due to several yrs. of stressed adrenals I would go night after night with little sleep, even with some timed Melatonin. The oils, along with 5-HTP and L-Theanine, have helped a lot, although I waken a few times in the middle of the night or around 4 a.m. It’s definitely not healthy.
If the spray really won’t stain the fabrics, I think the idea of having them to inhale constantly throughout the night would perhaps help me stay asleep throughout the night.
