A hydrosol spray with Vetiver for sleep, relaxation, and calming your mind.

Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I have a chat with my good friend Vetiver. This “Oil of Tranquility” (that’s Vetiver’s nickname!) always helps me feel more relaxed.

Here’s one of our conversations . . .

Me: Oil of Tranquility, I can’t sleep! Can you help?

Vetiver: Of course! I love helping people sleep. First, let’s calm your mind. (Vetiver put on some soothing music.)

Me: Ohh, that’s lovely, Vetiver!

Vetiver: Thanks! Now, let’s cool you down . . . (Vetiver opened the windows in my room and a sweet, aromatic breeze wafted in.)

I have created and shared so many Aromatherapy recipes for sleep…

…but there is always room for more! I know that so many people have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. And I recently heard that the CDC called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic, so I thought I would share some of my favorite Aromatherapy recipes for sleep again. You can also learn to make your own blends in Aromahead Institute's Aromatherapy Certification Program. It can be helpful to try several recipes, because different remedies work for different people.
