Deep Sleep Blend
Mix together 2 drops of French Clary Sage Essential Oil, 3 drops of High Altitude Lavender, 3 drops of Chamomile Roman and 2 drops of Mandarin red or green fraction (mandarin is optional I add it to the blend as I find the aroma more pleasant) with 100ml of Sweet Almond BP’80.

You can also apply this with your fingers down your jaw lines but only minute amounts.

Add 2 drops of Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil, 2 drops of Sweet Orange Essential Oil, 2 drops of Geranium Essential Oil and 2 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil to your oil burner. As you inhale the aroma you will find you breathe far easier, you can also add one drop of each essential oil to a bowl of hot water, face over the bowl and towel over your head and inhale for 5-10 minutes.
