Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I had been having trouble sleeping at night. It was not a problem for me to fall asleep. However, if I woke and needed to use the bathroom or if my children came to get in bed with my husband and me, I just could not fall back to sleep.
I decided to try Cedarwood and Vetiver essential oils. I applied just one drop on each of my big toes before heading to bed for the night. The key for me was being all ready for bed because I would be asleep before I knew it!
I had heard about this combination from a dear friend, and it worked instantly. I also noticed that I am having a much deeper sleep. I have felt so much more rested when I wake in the morning because I am not up and down all night.
I have shared this with several people on my team, and it is working for them too! So if anyone is needing some good old-fashioned "shut eye", they may want to see what Cedarwood and Vetiver essential oils can do for them!

| 1. | Associated topics: sleep,insomnia-/-sleeplessness — "Lavender, mint [peppermint], orange, rose, chamomile, rosemary, and sage were used.... Depression levels in the touch-music-aroma therapy group... showed a larger decrease than in the... control groups [that did not include aromatherapy].... [FMS] symptoms such as restless sleep, headache, morning fatigue, exhaustion, feeling like crying, and bowel complaints were also significantly reduced." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: relaxation-/-rest — "The ylang ylang oil caused a significant decrease of blood pressure and a significant increase of skin temperature. At the behavioral level, subjects in the ylang ylang oil group rated themselves more calm and more relaxed than subjects in the control group. These findings are likely to represent a relaxing effect of the ylang ylang oil and provide some evidence for the usage of the ylang ylang oil in aromatherapy such as causing a relief of depression and stress in humans." | Link |
