When it is hard for me to fall asleep, I use two essential oils: Spikenard and Vetiver. Some people do not like the smell of Vetiver; they consider it very earthy, even “dirty” smell. Then you may use Roman chamomile or Lavender.

Some authors state that Spikenard is probably the most powerful sedative in aromatherapy. It has a calming effect on the mind and it helps to soothe the deepest forms of anxiety. As for Vetiver its earthy quality will embrace, sustain and reestablish a balance between heart, body, and mind. Vetiver will help to stop the turmoil of unanswerable questions swirling in our mind, making us calm, grounded, and safe.
Good night!
