I used to struggle getting to sleep at night. Then I discovered a few key things.
A. Our bodies create cortisol to keep us alert and it begins at 10pm and goes up from there until it drops off again at 2am. So going to bed before or close to 10pm does wonders!
B. When getting to bed later and still wanting to sleep, Frankincense Vitality and Grand Fir are both oils that help lower the cortisol levels. I would take a capsule of one or the other before bed.
C. Lately I began adding a few drops of Frankincense Vitality to the Thieves Mouthwash because it’s so good for my teeth, however I noticed an added bonus in that I fall asleep almost immediately after my head hits the pillow!
So to summarize:
I get to bed early
I get to bed early
I use Frankincense or Grand Fir in a capsule
And I add Frankincense to Mouth wash!
This one is ultimately going to help you get sleep too!
And just like with adults, timing makes a big difference here as well as no screens just before bed!
Babies & Toddlers? - I almost always pull out Dreamease (aka Sleepyize in USA) and roll on the back of neck and the neck of the big toes.
Extra help? - We use Tranquil and RutaVala as back ups if Dreamease doesn’t do it! Again, rolling on same places.
Diffuser routine - The most common combo in the kids’ diffusers is Cedarwood and Lavender which tends to do the trick most of the time!

I used to struggle getting to sleep until I started these three simple steps.
Step 1 - get to bed between 9:30pm and 11pm. This really makes a difference!
Step 2 - keep a note pad near my bed so I could write down any last minute to-do items
Step 3 - apply RutaVala or Tranquil on the back of my neck and the neck of my big toes!
If you have any questions, let me know!
In the meantime, sleep well!
