I know the screen time plays a big role in my struggle to fall asleep and since I lack the foresight to quit doing it here are some great aides that help me to overcome the laying awake for hours issue.
One of my favorite oil combos, thanks to a friend who tried this first, is Bergamot, Patchouli, and Lavender.  I add 3-5 drops of each oil to my diffuser. I don’t know what it is about this combo but it really helps me to fall quickly to sleep. I also love the Immupro supplement. Taken at bedtime this supplement helps you to fall asleep faster and helps you to stay asleep. I like it not only for sleep but because I am also supporting my immune system! Now that’s a win,win😁.  Immupro provides Zinc and Selenium for proper immune function a long with chelated minerals which emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body. It also delivers melatonin which encourages restful sleep by promoting the bodies natural sleep rhythm.
How about adding some Magnesium to your daily supplements?  Low Magnesium can cause chronic fatigue. Supplementing with MegaCal can help your body get the Magnesium it needs to function properly. Of course talking with your doctor about what your body needs is always a great idea. I am here to tell you what I use personally and what has helped me. Everybody is different and when it comes to supplementing you need to decide for yourself what you think is best.
Some other great sleep oils to try are Lavender, Stress Away, Tranquil, Cedarwood, Peace and Calming, Ruta Vala, Valor, Vetiver, And Frankincense. Try any combo of these in your diffuser or on the bottoms of your feet. There are so many amazing oils out there and sometimes it takes patience and lots of trying of different oils or a combo of oils. I never would have thought to try the combo that my friend suggested!  So if you haven’t found the perfect combo yet don’t give up you just might be surprised at what works.
I have shared rollers of 6 drops each of lavender and Cedarwood with so many people it has helped a lot of them so that’s always my first suggestion. Just don’t be discouraged if this combo is not right for you.
Every time I get together with other oily friends I am amazed at some of the ideas they give me. That’s why doing this with a friend is so much better. Not only are you on a journey to get healthy together but by sharing ideas you can come up with things you may have never thought to try yourself!  
I hope this helps you to find the things that will provide you with some much needed sleep. I would love to hear from you if you find a combo that you love. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have questions. Here are some great diffuser blends for you to try

Happy Oiling,
Anna

Do you struggle with sleep?  Sleep is such an important part of our health. Without it our bodies cannot recuperate from whatever we put it through. I don’t know about you but if I don’t get enough sleep I am not pleasant to be around!  

Have you tried anything to help you sleep?  Thanks to my friend Deanne I finally found my “magic” combo!  I add these three oils to my diffuser, plus thieves of course, and before I know it I cannot keep my eyes open. My combo is 2 drops each of Bergamot, Lavender, and Patchouli.

I tried many other oils in my quest for the perfect sleep combo. Lavender works for many, I have made a roller with lavender and cedar wood and gave them away with great feed back. Vetiver is another one I tried and it did help, I put it on my temples.  Other great sleep oils are Tranquil, Ruta Vala, and Valor. The key here is consistency, remember that post?  Ya I am not always good at being consistent. Sometimes an oil can work immediately, other times it takes our bodies a while to adjust to the benefits.

If you are just starting out I would suggest you start with Lavender, in your diffuser and on the bottom of your feet. Same with Stress Away. Frankincense also helps for some.

I hope you find the oil or oils that work for you. If you have a combo that works I would love to hear about it!  I learn so much from others and what works for them.

Good luck and happy oiling,
Anna

Did you know that your health begins in your gut?  If your gut isn’t healthy you are not healthy.  Poor gut health can cause so many health issues.  Numerous studies in the past few decades have shown that there is a link between gut health and the immune system, mood, mental health, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and cancer.

We have good bacteria in our gut, what exactly are gut bacteria and what do they do? Gut bacteria are types of microorganisms that live within the human digestive system alongside other tiny organisms like fungi and viruses. Together, they form the "microbiome".
