When dealing with sleep disturbances, using Vasu Aromatics Lavender Essential Oil can be supportive, but it’s worth noting that it might not be the ultimate solution for entirely resolving your sleep issues. Lavender essential oil has calming and relaxing properties that can help you relax before sleep, but its effectiveness can vary from person to person.
First, diffusing the lavender oil in your room and applying a drop on your pillow are both effective methods. Ensure your diffuser is set to run for about 15-30 minutes before you go to bed. If the aroma is too light, try adding an additional drop or two to ensure the scent lingers and allows you to inhale its calming effects more fully as you drift to sleep. Breathing deeply through your nose when you first lie down can enhance relaxation response.
It’s also a good idea to assess the broader context of your lifestyle and sleep environment. While essential oils can provide immediate relief, addressing the root causes of your sleep disturbances is crucial. Consider factors like screen time before bed, stress levels, and your sleep routine. Experiment with a wind-down routine free of screens at least one hour before sleep to help sync your body’s natural circadian rhythms better.
From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, sleep disturbances are often related to Vata imbalance, particularly in its sub-dosha, Prana Vata, which governs the mind and brain functions. Engage in practices that help ground and calm Vata. This includes maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, eating nourishing and warm meals, and perhaps incorporating a self-massage with warm sesame oil before bedtime which can be soothing for Vata imbalances, encouraging settled sleep.
Finally, if these strategies don’t improve your sleep quality, it might be worthwhile to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions. The issue could be more complex and require additional approaches beyond aromatherapy.
