Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the most important things we can do to keep ourselves healthy and sane. It’s simple science - it’s the only time our body has to regain its strength and take its time to process all the information and emotions that were experienced throughout the day. The more we are able to rest, the more likely we are to perform better in all aspects of everyday life - at work, in school, in parenting, and when taking care of our own mind through self-care and mindfulness practices. 

Getting a good night’s sleep isn’t so easy. But this is where aromatherapy and essential oils can help. Essential oils work by stimulating the parts of the brain in charge of managing, controlling, and feeling emotions - making them capable of steering the mind away from concerns, taking it towards a place of rest and calm. Sometimes, a good essential oil sleep blend is just what you need.

After careful curating and designing, we've created three essential oil diffuser blend recipes for sleep we're sure you will enjoy:

Lavender, Cedarwood, and Eucalyptus 

This is one of the best essential oil diffuser blend recipes for sleep. Lavender essential oil is an incredible all-rounder oil known for its ability to calm the senses and help drift the mind into a journey of sound sleep. Cedarwood essential oil is often used for insomnia for its sedative effect. Besides its fresh aroma, using Eucalyptus oil for sleep is wonderful for clearing your airways; helping you breathe deeper. Together, using these oils for sleep will fill the room with everything you need to relax the body and enjoy a full night of rest. 

Lavender, Rosemary, and Sweet Orange 

This trio is perfect if you’re looking to create a positive resting space. Again, lavender essential oil is great for relaxing the body. The citrus and herbaceous aromas from rosemary and sweet orange essential oils encourage positive thoughts, and uplifted spirits. This is also one of the best essential oil diffuser blend recipes for nap sessions in the afternoon!

Frankincense, Lemon Myrtle and Cedarwood 

Going to bed in a bad mood can truly get in the way of good rest. Having woody aromatic notes, Cedarwood, and Frankincense essential oils are great for managing stress while promoting emotional healing. Lemon Myrtle adds a hint of citrus to provide you with a soothingly, joyful aromatic experience.

 A unique essential oil sleep blend that will make sure your nights end on a good note and mornings start off in one as well.
