Lavender Sleep Drops

I just looked for more information on lavender oil, because I wondered if my sleep drops were the same as lavender essential oil. Wow. I had no idea there was so much variety out there, and some of it is scary.

I use Essence of Vali Lavender which is prepared by a cosmetics company and very high-end. It’s great, but I thought since lavender season just ended, I might get some lavender oil from a local lavender farm. When I saw the many different kinds of “Lavendula officinalis” lavender, I hit the web to learn more.

I learned that there may be health issues with lavender oils with young boys, poisoning with lavender oil, burning if the oil is too concentrated, allergic reactions, and all sorts of nasty stuff.

This website sells lavender oil, but has a ton of warnings and they scared me away. I’m going to stick with Essence of Vali. Amazon has it for $18 but charges a lot for shipping, and last time I ordered from Amazon it took almost 2 weeks to get my stuff.

The last time I ordered it from GiftsThatMakeScents.com and they sent me several samples of other high-end products with it for free. They have the Essence of Vali lavender here but also sell more Essence of Vali here.

When my sleep is good, I forget completely about this blog. And when I can’t sleep, and need help sleeping, I turn to my favorite sleep remedy (lavender) and it works so well. Then I remember this blog!

Insomnia is a tough word.  I don’t think I have “imsomnia”, I simply can’t sleep well. I know why. I have stress. Anxiety. And it keeps me from resting, and that keeps me from falling asleep. I don’t need a doctor, and even though wine works really well, I don’t want to rely on alcohol for falling asleep.

My lavender essence drops work great. A few drop sof lavender oils on my pillow case, and I relax. I think about the smell and the next thing you know… zzzzzz.
