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.
A few years ago, I experienced trouble falling asleep no matter how physically tired I was. When I finally did fall asleep, if I woke during the night for any reason, I could not get back to sleep. My mind kept going and I couldn't fall back asleep.
It happens that my friend was going through the same thing at the same time. She was not even a part of any essential oil company and her limited knowledge was only what I shared with her. She heard that Vetiver oil would help and told me to order it.
We both tried 2 drops in some kefir or yogurt right before bed. You can take it straight too if you like. The 2 drops helped me for a few weeks. I fell right to sleep and if I did wake during the night to go to the bathroom, I would immediately go right back to sleep.
After a few weeks I found I needed to increase it to 3 drops. I never needed any more that that. If I did wake up and for some reason couldn't fall back asleep, I would take 1 drop only otherwise you may oversleep!
I think my friend may have increased her dose to 3 or 4 drops. I personally would not take more than 4 drops at one time.
Vetiver oil helped us immediately and unbelievably well. I couldn't believe how quickly it worked....the very first time I took it!
I realize if you research oils for insomnia, Vetiver will not come up. That is the reason for my testimonial. Hopefully, more people will also realize this wonderful unknown benefit.
Sleep well! 😴
