Essential Oils for Sleep

[@bebop504]

I've found that Frankincense works well too. I usually mix Lavender and Frankincense in my diffuser.

[@0gRipz024]

Thank you so much.

[@Gregforeli]

I've been using Roman Chamomile ll weekend and my bowels have been behaving much better and I've had issues with IBS and gas. It's also helped me stay asleep at night. I put it on my feet and under my nose as well as a little on my arms.

[@Leny1777]

I heard putting it on your temple is effective. Applying on stomache dangerous?

[@UnderYourBedStories]

I've been applying frankincense around my ears and neck before bed and getting the best sleep! I just ordered vetiver so I'm going to try them combined!

[@laurabreneman6254]

TeamOilObsessed I love Vetiver with Lavender! it shuts my brain off!

[@rickmlamb1]

You're such a fantastic teacher of essential oils

[@doroth215]

I agree! He seems like a nice simple hard working guy. I love the way he does his best explaining the benefits of each oil.

[@normaannett3400]

[@sjrayne]

Lavender works really well to relax me, but Valerian essential oil is my #1 favorite to help with sleep ! I will have to give the Vetiver a shot because my brain is always flying a mile a minute at night. Thank you for posting Dr. Axe!! :)

[@TheDenisedrake]

OH! Can't believe you just posted this today. We just started diffusing oils in our house. We inadvertently diffused grapefruit and lemon last night instead of our usual lavender and cinnamon. We both slept poorly and had similar aggravating dreams. Thanks for this info.

[@SonofGodly]

we drink chamomie tea before bed and it works well.

[@rafiatalla1809]

Dr.Axe you are such a fabulous teacher.u teach with so much enthusiasm & love

[@melodicnostalgic3823]

Hello, I'm from India :) I was suffering from Lower Leg Pain for a few months because I had put on some excess weight and hadn't exercised for a while. I was afraid the Pain would cripple me and make me unable to walk. I tried Neem Oil Baths for a few days with quite skepticism and it actually worked wonders. Today, My Pain is all gone and I actually feel like I'm way younger now and much energetic. Just dropping this for someone who suffers from same kind of ailment as me, Thought it would help you, Peace !

[@aaliyah_paul]

Neem oil baths ? Can you tell me more about it.

[@christyachiaasarpong7193]

Please I want to know more.

[@freebird7625]

Forgiveness is ESSENTIAL! Thanks Doctor Axe!!!

[@margeverschuyl5636]

Thank you SO much for this information!! I use the Roman Chamomile and Vetiver in a diffuser; within a few minutes, I'm out!

[@JenniferSnell_]

Thank you for your video. I loved learning about Roman Chamomile helping support your digestive system. I use all these oils for sleep. I especially love vetiver.

[@katiekleinschmidt561]

Thank you for these videos, Dr. Axe. I just subscribed. I have been using oils for years but am now seriously using them consistently to help with sleep, mild anxiety and overall health instead of just for enjoyment of the scents. It is always difficult to verify what companies are truly 100% pure EO so if anyone has brands that are exceptional prices I am all ears. I have some doTerra (pricey) and also use NOW brand, Aura Cacia and some Vitacost brands. Most with good success but always nice to try new ones to compare. My current favorite blend is Ylang-Ylang, Lime,Clary-Sage and Frankisence for calm/sleep mixed with carrier oil to roll on before bed or throughout day.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Ylang Ylang is the best I use it in a defuser all the time. And it’s also one of the top ingredients in Chanel No.5 my favorite perfume. Bergamot is my second favorite. It’s one of the ingredients in Earl Grey Tea.

[@mamawabbit5253]

Dr. Axe, your lectures are fantastic and I am really interested in all you teach. However, I am not a native speaker and many of the oil or supplement that you mention are difficult for me to get the exact spelling in order to google them as you suggest. I would like to ask you if you could consider writing with bullet points your lecture behind you on the board as does dr Burg - so that people like me could understand and take notes in order to implement the great advice and info you are giving. I will be really very happy to use this knowledge if I could understand everything. Just a suggestion. The main and important things one should do, the products /food we should use or avoid etc.

[@cynthiahillian]

I'm moody videos the is a transcript of what's being said. Press the word more and you should see it at the bottom.😅

[@lillyho12]

Again, thank you 🙏 I use oils in my yoga classes. It’s so great to share specific blends to help our body heal🙏

[@risayacapin7163]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I love health knowledge.....your tips and recipes r very inspiring!!!!

[@carlaveronica9234]

I so grateful to find you Dr. Axe!

[@keelicapri4142]

Okay dr. Axe, could you please do a video of like a 1 day meal plan. I want to be healthy but I also want to clear up my skin and it's hard giving up junk food and soda and I'm just not sure what to eat. Thanks :)

[@amberl4401]

I like these videos. I'm going to try get some of these for sleep also hoping it will help my neck. I have dystonia.

[@wjh4536]

Dr Axe,What oils should i use to mist my sheets-before going to bed??

[@RakhmadFEBRIAN]

This is great! How many drops for deep sleep with 500 ml tank?

[@SocialMediaLove]

Love these oils! Lavender yeah! Chamomile, I drink tea... I should try it as an essential oil!

[@AEON.]

Vetiver daily helps with my tourette syndrome motor tics as well

[@patricia19551]

Dr Axe you for sharing all this knowledge for FREE!!! Thank you soon much for your generosity!!!!!!!

[@rosariogarcia2646]

I love your videos Dr. Axe

[@chloe-gt8ti]

thanks this helped so much!

[@turbonbc]

Valerian should be really good as well.

[@Viv8ldi]

To take it orally or to vaporize or both?

[@turbonbc]

@@Viv8ldi Vape is faster effect, oral would last longer. Make Tea with Raw honey & Chamomile and Vape :)

[@Teeyah2]

Fantastic video.....I needed this one! Keep em coming! Thanks so much!

[@ildikogaspar3421]

Thanks again! as all your videos, love this one too ! you think vetiver oil is good for OCD mind as well ?

[@echo8931]

Lavender really helps to induce sleep.

[@itzkingt5015]

[@priyankamishra8229]

I m suffering for lupus,Which essential oil is good for me... Please reply me

[@ZaddyGotchu]

Just getting into the oil life but idk some of the effects of some oils seem to be a little bit over hyped. Idk I still love it tho

[@pyrrhonist9879]

Love your videos, there very helpful and ur charm helps as well!

[@michellebadillo7574]

are these essential oils supposed to smell good? i dont mind but my bf didnt like the scents when we smelt them at the market. I thinking theyd smell more pleasant diffused.

[@patriziaarmfield4255]

U make it so easy to understand

[@SUZIJ5]

Excellent video and advice! Thank you so much!

[@vondezredman2953]

Great video i would like to ask if this oil blend for sleep be put into a carrier oil and apply to the skin at night for sleep, thanks

[@aaavinash100]

You are amazing Doc.

[@sweetysakura1377]

Thank you for your sharing Dr Josh Axe, it does help me on education of essential oils.

[@LisaFly652]

Any essential oils you can think of for dizziness? I have had bouts of dizziness for last 2 weeks... A very floaty feeling like I been stuck on a nasty boat ride. Went on Z pack for inflammation of the eustation tubes.

[@aliciadavidson5005]

I tried the 3 oils formula and it helped!! I used an olive oil base to put them in, should I have just used them straight?? I did sleep better, but not all night, would it help to not use a base?? Was that formula for each application??

[@SonofGodly]

+Alicia Davidson If you are a coffee drinker ,,do not drink any after 3;00 pm This caffeine might over ride the oils.

[@SeanWilliams90]

You won't be hurt by using them undiluted "straight" so long as you aren't overdoing it. One or two drops is usually enough since these are concentrated usually. Diluting them with an oil like grapeseed oil or coconut oil can help cover a larger area and help the body absorb things better. Diffusing is always an option too and so is consumption. I'd recommend you get a quality essential oils book to help you use oils effectively for you and/or consult a specialist in aromatherapy.

[@celinasvahins7502]

I have sleep apnea and a neuromuscular disorder. Would you recommend adding essential oils to the humidifier of my CPAP machine? Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Ladyofvirtue247]

I've added a couple drops to a tissue and put it near his CPAP and he sleeps like a baby (I use a Good Night Blend)

[@saracutiem.d.241]

Celina Svahins Are you sure you have an apnea? I have one suggestion for you. Have someone produce a body odor on your face while you're sleeping and then you'll get the correct diagnoses. It works like a charm each and every time honey.

[@fortecarter1]

No. Get a separate humidifier.

[@princexl33840]

Dr Axe, thanks a million! Your videos are always exquisite.

[@CooknChatwithNimisha]

Hello Dr. Useful video. What is the substitute for vetiver and vanilla essential oils. Please suggest.

[@patricia19551]

Thank you soon much for your generosity!!!!!!!

[@YogaBlissDance]

Dr. I would dilute them a bit in a carrier oil for direct application!

[@TheRachel3131]

You forgot basil its AMAZING!! and for restless legs too!!

[@YogaBlissDance]

Basil needs to be blended out, many woudl find it too green by itself.

[@TonjaNichols]

Can you use too many different EO's? Can you mix them? How do you know which ones you can safely consume together?

[@corriszucs4066]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Valerian..that's a go to for me but I understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea. I Use it in a mix though too so it's not as potent ;)

[@SeanWilliams90]

Smells too much like stinky feet. lol

[@AprilJFord]

Yes! I love Serenity blend since it has all three these ingredients !!

[@takalvert]

Thank you dr.

[@christyachiaasarpong7193]

Dr Axe please any essential oils for body pains and nerve healing.

[@pamelanichols2305]

Thanks Dr. Axe I'm just learning about essential oils.

[@niklaw56]

hi Dr Axe..thanks for all your videos. I'd just like to know if these oils you mentioned are safe to use while pregnant?? thanks.

[@NaduaGarbe]

Thank you so much for this information.Namaste.

[@sriparnaroy5043]

It should be Dhanyawad (thank you).

[@alio4916]

Is it better to diffuse the oil or put it on your skin? What diffuser do you recommend

[@SeanWilliams90]

Depends on your tolerance level for strong scents, and how sensitive your skin is to things. Essential oils are concentrated usually, so a little goes a long way in a carrier oil like coconut, olive, or grapeseed oil when applied on the skin. You would only want to start diffusing with a few drops of concentrated oils in distilled water and add more drops until you find your ideal level that helps in diffusing. You'll get benefits either way you go. Everyone has different needs and their bodies respond differently to different stimuli. Does that answer your question?

[@aromatherapywithsteven6501]

Hey Ali O, I recommend using the home diffuser from Young Living Essential oils because it is a humidifier, air purifier, atomizer, and aromatherapy diffuser all in one. You can save money by getting a starter kit, which comes with 11 essential oils, a diffuser, sample packets of oils, roller ball fitment, and instructions. In addition, I recommend following the instructions on the bottles of Young Living Essential Oils on your skin. In general I apply them like you would cologne, a drop or two on the wrists and then rub your wrists together. Then rub into the neck and behind the ears - do not get them into your eyes. If you want to know more then please contact me.

[@CarrieAGroff]

What about Cedarwood?

Love cedarwood for sleep. Made up my own sleep blend using it.

[@grammigram3225]

It would be nice if you tell us how to use the oils for the purposes described.

[@missysorganics1258]

I would never ask unless it was important... I'm grinding bad at night. so bad it's chipping teeth even with expensive mouth guards. I need a few options... I use lavender but it's not enough. is there one that will knock me out like a muscle relaxer? No pills please lol. just sleep. without grinding.

[@Kittyheavenwith21cats]

Lavender gives me migraines.ya I don't get it but always as fail so appreciate the other recommendations. Going to give Camomile and that other ones u mentioned. Now just to be safe are all these ones safe to use around my pets?

[@CHIEFSWIFE1998]

I always slept good until I started GAPS I pray I can sleep again one day.

[@jenyhomestuff]

Hi, which brand you recommend?

[@BourneAccident]

Dr. Axe, do people axe you a lot of questions all the time? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

Bourne Accident that's hilarious 😂

[@doreenjohnson8359]

Where do you apply them???

[@stephaniesimmonds3473]

Don't you need a carrier oil to put essential oils on your skin? I'm new to essential oils.

[@tipenetaylor7086]

Would it be safe when applying on a mattress, to have a electric hot blanket on?

[@bishopdrrakeshnayyarnayyar4056]

Nice information

[@lukrazealumbaugh5822]

hey Dr axe I'm currently new to essential oils just baught some online came with quite a variety idk if they're organic tho n I would like to go the organic route next time I need to order more.BTW I really enjoy n bennifit from your Chanel I have been hospitalized so much my whole life I had to have a liver transplant when I was one because I got diagnosed with believe area Tresa. I also had to have my spleen removed then bout two years ago I had got this big swollen red bump on my left eye come to fine out they had found two brain anyersmss in my head they couldn't figure out why for a while. then I had to have a genetic test it came back as tgfbr1. had one brain aneurysm colied but I have a smaller one-by-one my left side of my head that they didn't mess with because they said it wasn't big enough to worry bout I was just wondering if you had any knowledge about anything that you think would really bennefit me I would love to hear it because going through all that and I'm 24 not only that more because going through that has made me think differently about myself in a slef dreppressive state. thanks my names Lucas Alumbaugh really love what your doing here

[@littlebenplanet2]

are these oils for consuming or how do you use them?

[@aromatherapywithsteven6501]

Hey Benjamin, there are two main ways to use them, either on your skin or inhaled. You can inhale them by misting them in the air with a diffuse. Here's a good collection w/ a diffuser at a DISCOUNT because it's a set: www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=3868156&enrollerid=3868156&isocountrycode=US&culture=en-US&type=member I like this brand because they are top of the line, pure, therapeutic, and you get points toward future purchases if you use their essential rewards program. When you put the oils directly on your skin you can do it undiluted(neat), or you can dilute the oils in a carrier oil (like almond or olive oil, in a drop to drop ratio). Put the oil on your neck, temples, behind the ears, behind the knees, on the feet, or on the pectoral muscles. Another way to inhale them is to put the oil on your palms and then cup your hands over your nose and mouth, breath in slowly because it is powerful. (do not get the oil in your eyes, but if you do, then wash the oil out with olive oil or coconut oil or some other carrier oil) Best wishes

[@SeanWilliams90]

Depends on the school of thought a person is schooled in, and even then only some are recommended for consumption. Typically, you inhale, apply to skin, or take orally. The first two ways are the most common. Consult a doctor and an aromatherapy and/or a quality essential oils book to learn to use them properly.

[@atrl7041]

What oils would i use for a workplace environment, but also somewhere to be sleeping (such as my bedroom) where i have a desk. Would lemon work, or orange?

[@duncanidaho6367]

you give the examples of which oils to use for better sleep but not hiw to use them, ingesting, defusing, topical...?

[@ajeyaran1]

Very interesting topic! Just out of curiosity, are there any risks or side effects associated with the use of these oils?

[@savvysherri]

+bacon As long as these are being diffused, you should be fine with these. I really like this site: www.learningabouteos.com/ It has a lot about safety.

[@savvysherri]

+bacon These are also children safe. You can diffuse or apply on the skin. If you apply on the skin, you will want to dilute and test a spot first. Caution on Ylang Ylang if you have children.

[@ajeyaran1]

+Sherri Martinez Thanks for the info! But why would you want to dilute oil before applying to skin first? Dr. Axe didn't mention anything about diluting.

[@savvysherri]

he didn't mention it, but it is common method. Most of the oils he mentioned are safe without dilution, however, some people react differently to oils much like you would a perfume or medicine. It's always bet to test a small patch of skin first if you will be applying topically. You want to dilute with a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil. The site I gave you has good info on that. If properly diluted you won't loose any effectiveness of the oil. If you are going to put the oil in a diffuser like he mentioned, you don't have to dilute at all.

[@cherigaietto2515]

Dr.Axe I've been using DoTerra it is breaking the bank I listen to your webinars often Love,Lavender & Vetiver, topical & difussers Cinamon bark & many other but want to know if I can use Now from health food stores are they comparable love using oil but ends up costly more than using prescriptions that insurance cover ! Now oils are they suitable ???

[@essentiallyelizabeth5973]

+Cheri Gaietto Now oils are not pure. That's why the side of the body says not to ingest and in some cases, not to apply to the skin. If you do, you could have serious reactions from the chemicals they add. If you could get your current oils paid for, would that be something you might be interested in?

[@cherigaietto2515]

+Essentially Elizabeth Elizabeth this Cheri thanks for responding Now oils say (pure) & girls at there store say they use topical & ingest this is confusing why does it say pure on Now Essential Oils ?

[@vaguelyfunctioning]

+Cheri Gaietto There are no regulations in the world of essential oils, so ANY company can say their oils are "pure," even if there's only 5 drops of actual essential oil in the bottle. 😕 If that person is ingesting Now oils, she is not reading the label and is putting herself in danger. You wouldn't drink a Glade plug-in or rub it all over your skin! Even "organic" oils are only tested for pesticides, and not potency. Potency is just as important as purity. If the plant isn't harvested from where it grows naturally, in the proper soil and climate, you won't be getting all the benefits, plus the natural makeup of that oil is out of balance - meaning that you could have one constituent that's barely present, and way too much of another! Many oils today are not grown the right place, and the growers are being taken advantage of by middle men who are only paying them half of what was promised, meaning these families have nothing to live on until the next crop is ready for harvest. If the price of an oil is too good to be true, it was either sourced unethically, or is synthetic. Take Jasmine, one of the most adulturated essential oils. It take 30,000 petals to make 5ml of oil. 5ml of real Jasmine is worth over $200. Now sells 10ml for $7-9.

[@vaguelyfunctioning]

+Cheri Gaietto Correction - Now's "Jasmine" is 30ml, not 10ml.

[@cherigaietto2515]

There are so many out there I do believe I'll n Do Terra Essential Oils because I guess I believe the reps.I deal with but how do I really know all the company's say there's is best ? And there are several ?

[@robertolson3115]

I will be the first to admit I am addicted to coffee to perk me up, but it appears people are inhaling essential oils to relax. (Just the opposite of caffeine) Are people becoming addicted to inhaling essential oils? Now we are going from diffusing to vaping essential oils. Why? Vaping EO's would be like the relaxing effects of nicotine in a cigarette. The common denominator is benzene compounds. Nicotine is a benzene compound. I can't help but wonder if the benzene compounds in EO's are addicting for their relaxing properties. I think I see chemical dependency happening.

[@succulentqueen7737]

It's a Myth: relaxing effects of nicotine in cigarettes. Nicotine is a chemical stimulant. Take your pulse rate then take 4 drags of a cigarette in quick succession & check your pulse rate. You will see an increase. Smokers think a cigarette will relax them, but really they're addicted to the nicotine and can not relax until they feed their hunger for another cigarette because of experiencing withdrawals. Yes, nonsmokers experience stress from everyday life, but smokers experience it even more and are more uptight, tense & irritable. Nicotine addiction is a vicious cycle. And I would encourage every smoker to stop smoking now.
