Sleep is a physical necessity of the body. It has a wide array of health benefits ranging from better mood, better weight management, lower risk of injury, improved immune function, and experiencing less pain. Furthermore, studies confirm how sleep helps with brain function, such as assisting with storage of memories, recall, attention, and problem solving.<\/p>\n

Recently, the National Institute of Health provided further evidence that sleep is a necessity for cognitive functioning. Mice studies indicated that hours spent in shut eye helps to clear the brain of toxins through its unique vascular drainage system, the gylymphatic system. Interesting to note that this system is also believed to remove the same type of plaques found in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains. Could it be that the rise in both insomnia and Alzheimer’s patients over the past few years are a coincidence or is our hyperactive society a contributor?<\/p>\n

I wrote in my homepage blog <\/a>about the natural medicine recipe that I’m going to share with you to help calm the brain and body for restorative sleep. I was actually introduced to this formula by my clients who learned about it and were reporting amazing results before I actually studied the science behind it. (I have summarized my research findings in my blog).<\/p>\n

Here’s the sneak peak recipe that was originally sent out to my essential oils clients by essential oil trainer, Terry Quigley.<\/p>\n

For the most benefit…this is what I have people do…apply Valor to the bottom of feet in the morning and deeply inhale. Then at night…about an hour before sleep, apply valor again to feet and inhale. Right before bed…apply 2-3 drops of sweet dreams to the bottom of feet, deeply inhale, apply excess to chest and pillow! Roll bottle to mix oils…basically, don’t shake it<\/i><\/p>\n
