Effectiveness of different aromatherapy sedative blends

[Guest guest]

Have you tried Valerian tincture?...I find it is helpful...

and also Kava kava is supposed to be relaxing...

All herbs and all tinctures are not created equal...so quality is a real

concern...

it is important to really get the botanical in its full strength...not diluted

and not so full of alcohol that that is the dominant flavor.

Hi all

 

 

 

I'm a new member of this group. Earlier this year I was suffering terrible

insomnia and despite trying a lot of remedies, found only aromatherapy had any

real effect. There are a lot of different essential oils that provide sedative

effects and it's difficult to know which are the most powerful. Lavender works

for me, but I also tried a blend of Neroli, Chamomile and Lavender which also

does a pretty nice job. Some nights when I go to bed after a really full-on day

at work I find I can be too wired for either to work, however.

 

 

 

So, is there a 'good, better, best' when it comes to oils? or is it that what

works really well for one person may not work so well for another? I'm just

trying to figure out how to go about finding something stronger that will get me

to unwind and to sleep faster.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Richard
