Insomnia is defined as “the inability to sleep sufficiently over a period of time’. Insomniacs either experience difficulty sleeping or have difficulty falling or staying asleep. It can last for long periods of time which can lead to number of unhealthy side effects. Though it can sometimes be caused by pain, lack of fresh air and exercise or poor diet, Insomnia most often develops from stress related problems or depression and anxiety. Essential oils which have relaxing and uplifting properties can be very useful, as well as oils with sedative properties. These oils can be used effectively in a warm relaxing bath, through tension relieving massage, in a vaporiser, or a couple of drops on the pillow.
