RE: Insomnia - Help Please!

[Guest guest]

Dear Melanie,

 

I've looked this up in my PDR (People's Desk Reference for Essential

Oils). It is written from a Naturopathic approach. Here's some

clips regarding Insomnia.

 

" Ingestion causes gas, and toxins in the intestines and the liver will

produce insomnia, frequent recurring migraine headaches, skin

eruptions, discoloration, change in pigmentation, acne, and bumpy

skin. A colon and liver cleanse may be required. "

 

" Single Oils: * Lavender with Roman chamomile, marjoram, myrtle,

German chamomile, ravensara, basil, ylang ylang, tangerine, bergamot,

mandarin, orange or valerian.

* Cypress with marjoram, lavender, basil, geranium, rosemary, clary

sage, German chamomile, rosewood, or angelica.

 

Use: Add 1-3 drops to the corresponding single oils above (according

to your sensitivity).

 

Lavender with Roman chamomile is excellent for insomnia.

 

Lavender with marjoram diffused in the bedroom aids in reducing

restlessness and insomnia.

 

Use these oils on the bottoms of feet with gentle massage action.

" " " " "

 

Also, my intuition says that maybe keeping a dream journal (or any

kind of journal) to allow feelings and thoughts to flow freely,

without restriction, may be a good tool to vent whatever is nagging

your consciousness. Also, maybe a good session with a Hypnotherapist

who uses suggestions that can allow your mind to vent life's ups and

downs through dreams so that you are not caught in the frustration

that comes with insomnia.

 

Wishing you well in all ways,

 

Lynn

I'm sorry to return to the problem of insomnia again, but I need some

advice please! It's been mentioned to me and also via here, that

after you've been using the oils for so long, it is best or good to

have a break of about a week. The thing is, with sleeping still a bit

unsettled, I am presently using the oils on a daily basis, though I

keep changing the blends around, and sometimes it might only be a

small amount on my temples/forehead/underneath nose.

 

To get to the point, I'm wanting to know just how vital it is to have

this break, I mean, it's not damaging to my body and insides to keep

putting the oils into my bloodstream, without a break is it? Sorry to

go on about this, but obviously, I don't want to be in danger in this

way, (if I am in danger, that is) Thanks to all who can help me with

this.

 

All the Best

 

Melanie
