Insomnia

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt

Young Living has very powerful products for insomnia.

The ones I had experience with are:

- Lavender (3 drops in 1/4 glass of water, or rub 3 drops on the back of your neck)
- Valerian - works like magic on my son and my husband's co-worker's dog
- RutaVala is a very calming blend, and so is Peace and Calming
- Copaiba following Orange magnifies the effect of Orange essential oil (good mood) times 6

"A friend suggested that I try using the essential oil of valerian for sleep, so I decided to do a little research.

The National Institutes of Health has a website devoted to Valerian for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders. <http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Valerian.asp> I was just amazed how much clinical investigation there was on the properties of this essential oils. What I read about valerian was that it was very highly regarded as an all-natural sedative. What I learned about valerian from using it was that it is calming, relaxing, balancing, and a sleep aid. Just an aside, Valerian Root is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for injestion by the FDA. I would make sure the oil you use is therapeutic grade. " John Rosenberger, Moses Lake, Washington

It is estimated that Americans spend $94 Billion dollars, every year, on our Sleep Disorders!

Lack of sleep builds up a "sleep debt," which makes people feel tired during the day and may lead to a variety of health consequences. Sleep debt is the cumulative amount of lost sleep. For example, if the average daily amount of sleep you need is eight hours, sleeping six hours a night during the work week creates a sleep dept of 10 hours. If you sleep an extra two hours on Saturday and Sunday, you will still have a sleep debt of six hours. If you sleep only 6 hours a night for a year, you will have built up a sleep debt of 726 hours - a full month of missed sleep. The prevalence of sleep debt in America is reaching epidemic proportions. More than half of the adult population in the United States is carrying a sleep debt:

* 58% of adults experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights or more per week

* 35% of adults report at least one symptom of insomnia every night or almost every night

Possible Root Causes of Insomnia:

* Toxic Liver - Surprisingly, this is one of the highest known causes of Insomnia that occurs between 1-3 a.m. Liver Cleansing will Help here!

* Fear - Most common contributor to Nightmares and Restless Sleep.

* Diet - Certain foods aggravate insomnia and eating past 5:00 p.m. disallows enough time and enzymatic activity to properly digest food.

* Hormonal Imbalance - Lack of Melatonin and other key hormones can trigger insomnia through hot flashes, depression, irregular heart rate, etc.

* Stress - Stress must be managed from the Limbic Region of the Brain.

* ADD-ADHD - Children and Adults suffer from sleepless nights because of excess hyperactivity.

* Pain - Annoying; Debilitating; Throbbing. Pain is a top contributor to insomnia and restless sleep.

* Weakened Immune System - Minute Viruses and Parasites can keep you awake!

* Excitement/Anxiety - Too much of a good thing can be too much even for the seasoned "Sheep Counters!"

"I use Essential Oil of Cedarwood on my feet before I go to bed and sleep like a baby! It stimulates the pineal gland which releases natural Melatonin. I feel this is also good for the brain since Cedarwood is high in sesquiterpenes [brain food]. I have also used Alkalime and Lavender for sleep....love it." - Jackie K., Hemphill, Texas
