[Pr...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi All! I wanted share with you what I have found to work wonders for me for insomnia! I use pure Lavender Oil and rub a couple drops on the bottom of my feet and than rub some directly on my pillow! I know, I was sceptical at first too, but I have a good friend who is into pure oils for healing so I gave it a try. I have been using nightly now for about a month and it is working wonderfully. I purchased a 15ml bottle on line. Another good one for anxiety is called "Peace and Calming". I have been too afraid to try any over-the-counter sleep aids or oral supplements for fear of causing more withdrawal symptoms. These oils have been wonderful! Blessings to All!

[ma...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks Pam. I have used the Peace and Calming for years. I put it on the bottom of my feet too. When I first used it, it was a miracle and I slept great. Now, not as good. I use it in rotation with other things. I've put lavender on my pillow forever, but it doesn't seem to be enuf to help me go to sleep. It does make the sleep environment nice. I'll try it on my feet tonite. Did you order it direct from Young Living? I used to be a distributor for them years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pr...] Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I did order on line direct for Young Living. I hope putting on your feet works. I have also put it on my forhead and just under my nose to be able to inhale it better! Good Luck and God's Blessings. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ma...] Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi Pam. I tried the lavender on the feet but it didn't work. Did my exercise during the day, had a calm day. Did my sleep routine, used lavender on pillow(as usual) and on feet. Couldn't get to sleep. Finally took melatonin 2.5 at midnite and slept till about 4:30. Not so great. Sure wish the lavender worked better. I'll try it again tonite. Maybe I didn't use enuf. How many drops do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pr...] Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I use about 4 drops per foot! Try a little under your nose so you get the direct aroma! I hope you get some relief. If Melatonin doesn't upset your stomach of anything I would try both. Blessing and hoping for sweet dreams for you. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ma...] Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks. I used it again in the middle of the nite along with melatonin. I took some milk peptides (new supplement) It made me cough a lot and didn't seem to do much. Took it at 8:30pm. At 1am I took the melatonin and lavender on the feet and I did go to sleep...but only till 4:30. Not such great sleep but at least I slept a bit. Thanks for the suggestion. My new Bible study group are all praying for me to sleep. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mu...] Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 hey proudpam and maltesmom this forum is to discuss insomnia, not your side business. i cannot believe you haven't been shut down yet. please do not use BB as a selling forum. take your snake oil business elsewhere, or go die, i don't care which.

[ma...] Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Mule 50. How rude you are! I am retired and 64. I never sold one bottle of oil. I used it for myself. Proudpam was only offering help...something that works for her. That is how we all learn, from what works for others. I think you might need an attitude adjustment. For those of us with horrible, unrelenting insomnia, it is important to hear anything that may possibly help us. What a horrible response, telling someone to die. I don't think this forum is the place for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[De...] Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Proudpam, Just to say that personally I am really grateful for your post re lavender and peace & calming to assist with sleep problems.I have just tried melatonin but am afraid it didn't suit me so will try the oils next. Thank you so much for posting this. I will relate my experience back on the forum. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto-correct strikes again! The original post was modified yesterday Mule, perhaps you need to reread. You wish to continue with this for no reason which I find very peculiar.

[Pr...] Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi all! I have been out of town to my Step Brothers funeral who died suddenly of cardiac arrest. I was not near a computer to read what this thread started. No harm was intended! I was simply offering a possible remedy for insomnia. Blessing to all!
