Please read Evening Detox Protocols to learn more about what you can do to set yourself up for a good night’s sleep.

Our circadian rhythm is critically important in terms of our ability to sleep well, and is also fundamentally important for our quality of life. If you haven’t heard about the circadian rhythms that govern our daily cycles, then this article is a must-read: Circadian Rhythm – Why We Can’t live Without It.

Causes Of Poor Sleep

There are a good number of reasons why people are struggling to sleep well these days, including a disrupted circadian rhythm, and a reliance on modern technologies, etc. All of the issues mentioned in Evening Detox Protocols play a part. But, the wider environment, within which we live, is playing an increasingly influential role.

Simply put, there’s plenty to worry about these days, if we allow ourselves. And, there’s just as much to be depressed about, if we think about it long enough.

However, instead of improving outcomes, doing these things tends to make everything worse. And, one way in which it does that is by ruining our sleep!

Managing Stress & Depressive Thoughts

Learning to manage our stress levels is critically important to achieving restorative sleep. This can be done by improving our Vagul tone.

You can simply learn how to do this. It will not only improve your sleep outcomes, it will improve you enjoyment and appreciation of life in general.

Improving Vagal tone is one of the most simple, and fundamentally transformative, things we can do to improve our health and outlook. It is life-changing. And, it’s free!

This article explains how to perform a Vagus Nerve Massage to restore a positive mindset, reduce stress and engender a good night’s sleep.

Using Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend when practising Vagul Tone would be very helpful.

Importance Of Sleep

Sleep is more important than eating a good diet and exercising. Ensuring that we consistently achieve restative and restorative sleep is the most important thing we can do to maintain our health.

This is because we heal when we are asleep.

We detoxify our brain and major organs whilst we are sleeping, so depriving ourselves of sleep will undermine our health over time.

Many of us practice poor sleep hygiene, prioritising doing other things which negatively impact our ability to sleep well, or receive a healthy amount of sleep each night.

The article, Evening Detox Protocols, addresses most of the ways in which we impair our ability to sleep well, and explains how they are easily remedied with a little self-discipline.

However, sometimes we suffer from insomnia, or intermittent sleep / disrupted sleep, due to poor diet and mineral deficiency. If this is the case, then reading Sleep Issues & The Mineral Connection is highly recommended.

Long-Term Sleep Issues

A chronically poor diet of processed foods, with lots of hidden sugar, will lead to digestive issues and diabetes. Diabetes is an autoimmune condition.

Digestive issues tend to be a precursor to developing diabetes and other autoimmune conditions.

Chronic stress is also another precursor.

Autoimmune conditions are often characterised by systemic inflammation, memory loss and systemic pain. These symptoms can sometimes be disruptive to our sleep processes.

Unfortunately, if you have developed a condition like diabetes, then regular urination is going to disrupt your sleep, sometimes several times a night.

Or painful autoimmune conditions are likely to wake you in the night.

Autoimmune conditions often have a neurological component also, which can often involve some of the symptoms which undermine a good night’s sleep.

Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend has been formulated to help reduce neurological complications and inflammation.

Poor Breathing & Sleep Issues

Allergies and irregular breathing often cause sleep issues. Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend has also been formulated to help reduce breathing difficulties, whether caused by allergies or other issues.

Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend Ingredients

• Bergamot FCF Essential Oil
• Lavender Essential Oil
• Frankincense Essential Oil
• Eucalyptus Dives Essential Oil
• Elemi Essential Oil
• Copaiba Essential Oil
• Clary Sage Essential Oil
• Myrtle Essential Oil
• Vetivert Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil, is known for itssoporific benefits. It is an excellent antihistamine and anti-inflammatory, thereby reducing stress and tension. It has an almost unrivalled ability to calm the mind and subdue fears. It is also to enhance the benefits of the other oils in Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend for optimal effectiveness.

Researchers have found that Lavender Essential Oil increases the amount of slow and deep-wave sleep in the participants of a peer reviewed trial. Everyone in the trial reported feeling more well rested, with “higher vigour” the next morning.

The trial concluded that Lavender Essential Oil “serves as a mild sedative and has practical applications as a novel, nonphotic method for promoting deep sleep in young men and women and for producing gender‐dependent sleep effects.”

Myrtle Essential Oil

Myrtle Essential Oil helps to relax our entire body, thereby facilitating sleep.

It is variously: analgesic + anti-allergenic + anti-asthmatic + antibacterial + antifungal + anti-inflammatory + antihistamine + antimicrobial + antioxidant + antispasmodic + antiseptic + antiviral + astringent + cephalic, (relating to the head) + deodorant + expectorant + immuno-stimulant + mucolytic + sedative + tonic

This means that Myrtle Essential Oil supports good immune function and respiratory health. And, as a sedative, it is sleep inducing. Myrtle Essential Oil also lends this Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend an hypnotic aromatic quality, which in itself is very appeasing and soporific.

Wildcrafted Organic Vetivert Essential Oil

Vetivert Essential Oil helps modulate our histamine response, thereby reducing the stress on our immune system, and often improving our breathing.

As a root oil, Vetivert Essential Oil is very grounding. It helps to diffuse our concerns and anxieties, providing the peace of mind necessary to fall off to sleep.

Vetiver is one of the best essential oils for anxiety and brain health. It can also prevent the tremors associated with Parkinson’s. This oil has a sweet, smoky scent, and it’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It can alter the neural activity that leads to stress, anxiety, and muscle spasms.

*The Wild As The Wind Wildcrafted Organic Vetivert Essential Oil has been used in this blend owing to its enhanced benefits, and superior aromatic qualities.

Frankincense Serata Essential Oil

Frankincense Essential Oil has been added to this Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend in support of Eucalyptus Dives Essential Oil. Both oils are excellent for nervous exhaustion and mental fatigue.

These aromatherapy oils also help to open our breathing passages, helping to relieve the symptoms of asthma and sleep apnoea. They are also excellent for remediating respiratory illnesses.

Both are profoundly helpful for respiratory infection.

Frankincense Essential Oil is also exceptional for those who are unable to sleep due to their emotional state. More specifically, Frankincense Essential Oil provides immense support for those who are heartbroken or grieving.

Eucalyptus Dives Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Dives Essential Oil has been added to this Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend in support of Frankincense Essential Oil. Both oils address the issue of nervous exhaustion and mental fatigue. They also help to open our breathing passages and are helpful for those suffering from asthma and respiratory illnesses.

Both are profoundly helpful for respiratory infection.

Respiratory infections have a tendency to disrupt sleep in a number of ways. Obstructive breathing is the most obvious. But, infected sinuses cause headaches and other unpleasant symptoms.

Several of the essential oils in this Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend help to reduce the inflammation caused by respiratory infection, thereby reducing pressure headaches, and eye issues, whilst also exerting antibacterial and antiviral actions.

Eucalyptus Dives essential oil is an antihistamine as well as being antiviral and antibacterial, so it is ideal for helping with the relief of allergies.

Elemi Essential Oil

Elemi Essential Oil is another excellent aromatherapy oil for nervous exhaustion. As an expectorant, Elemi Essential Oil is also an ideal oil for relieving congestion, catarrhal conditions, and improving our breathing.

It is an aromatherapy oil which helps to issue in a state of contentment. Energetically, it has a calming, soothing influence which engenders stillness and gentle reflection. It is very much an oil of compassion & peace.

Elemi Essential Oil is also a very unifying oil. Not only does it have the ability to enhance congeniality when used in group environments, it also exerts a unifying influence on us individually.

Quite often, one aspect of our personality can be at odds with another… or one part of our body is physically demanding what another part of our body needs.

Elemi Essential Oil, especially when used in conjunction with Frankincense Essential Oil, helps to balance our physical and emotional demands on ourselves. These oils also support our spiritual evolution in harmonising our convergent energies, impulses and ideas.

This unifying influence has the profound ability to help us achieve restful and lasting sleep, allowing us to wake feeling a lot more refreshed and rested in the morning.

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Clary Sage Essential Oil has been included in this Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend because it has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, especially in women. Cortisol is a stress hormone which negatively impacts our circadian rhythm. Elevated stress levels interfere with sleep onset, and sleep maintenance mechanisms.

Clary Sage Essential Oil exerts a relaxing and immunomodulatory effect. Down regulating the immune response within our bodily is critical for peaceful, restful sleep.

Clary Sage Essential Oil also addresses two major causes of insomnia: stress & hormonal imbalance, especially in women.

As a sedative, Clary Sage Essential Oil is innately soporific. It has also been shown to improve sleep quality when used in conjunction with Lavender Essential Oil.

Circadian rhythm governs our ability to sleep.

Bergamot FCF Essential Oil

Sleep quality has been proven to be significantly better in people using a blend of Bergamot Essential Oil and Lavender Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil is mentioned in a number of sleep studies for bringing about improved sleep outcomes. This is mainly because of the breadth of neurological support provided by this deeply calming aromatherapy oil.

It is, therefore, an important ingredient in Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend.

Copaiba Essential Oil

Copaiba Essential Oil is a very gentle aromatherapy oil which is known to enhance sleep maintenance, as well as providing assistance with falling asleep.

Many people, who have no difficulty falling asleep, suffer from disrupted sleep. This can be due to a number of factors, which are dealt with in Sleep Issues & The Mineral Connection.

However, some people are naturally light sleepers, and are very sensitive to room temperature changes, and noises at certain points within their sleep cycle.

Copaiba Essential Oil helps to moderate these aspects of sleep disturbance, allowing people to maintain their sleep longer.

Using Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend

There are a number of different ways of using Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend

Inhalation

Direct inhalation of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend is an ideal way of quickly reaping the benefits of this deeply soothing aromatherapy blend.

The volatile molecules in Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend are incredibly small. When inhaled, they easily enter the emotional centre of the brain, delivering all of the calming benefits of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend, exactly where it’s needed.

Add a couple of drops of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to a hanky and inhale deeply and slowly. Hold your breath for four or five seconds and then ehale slowly out through your mouth. Repeat for a couple of minutes, or until you feel relaxed and ready to drift off to sleep.

Diffusing

You can also add 2-3 drops of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to your diffuser. This means that you can leave your diffuser running whilst you drift off to sleep.

Set your diffuser to run for one hour, and start diffusing your Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend about 15 minutes before you get into bed.

Topical Application

For a more intimate use of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend, topical application is advised.

You can apply Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to the following just before bedtime to help you feel calm and relaxed:

• Vagus points on your neck
• Pulse points on your wrists
• Soles of your feet
• Palms of your hands

Before applying an essential oil topically, it is important to dilute it with a a good carrier oil.

Excellent oils for this are Safflower Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, and Borage Seed Oil etc…

Applying undiluted essential oils to your skin can cause irritation and can lead to sensitisation over time, which will prevent you from using essential oils in the future.

It is advisable to dilute Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend at a 5% dilution for the purposes mentioned above.

Your diluted blend can be put into a roller ball bottle for ease of use. Wild As The Wind stock a superior roller ball bottle, with stainless steel roller ball.

As a general rule of thumb, 20 drops of essential oil = 1ml

This means that adding 100 drops of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to 100ml of carrier oil will approximately give you a 5% dilution of essential oil to carrier oil.

This corresponds to 50 drops of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to 50ml of carrier oil, and 30 drops of Deep Sleep Essential Oil Blend to 30ml of carrier oil etc…
