Why You Should be Diffusing at Night
Friends, there is hardly ever a time not to diffuse!
Here are some good reasons to add diffusing to your nighttime routine.
1. The humidity will help your breathing, especially in the winter when the heater is running. Add one drop each of peppermint, lavender, and lemon, or try RC, Raven, or one of the eucalyptus oils to get the full benefit.
2. Adding certain essentials oil will help you relax and sleep more soundly. Here are a few suggestions: lavender, valerian, Stress Away, Peace and Calming
3. Boost your immunity while you sleep. Thieves is my personal go-to for immunity support I sometimes add orange just because it smells great while still doing all good stuff. Frankincense is a good on its own or with Thieves.
4. Do you need any more reasons? Just kidding! DREAMS- really. Some essential oils may help you in this area are Dream Catcher and sandalwood.
5. Do-over. sometimes I need an emotional reset at the end of the day. Stress Away and orange is one of my favorites when I have had the kind of day that makes it hard to unwind. Ylang Ylang is uplifting and relaxing. Perfect when need to rest and feel hopeful and peaceful. Lavender is balancing, chamomile is another emotionally calming choice.
Below is a list of oils known to have some benefit for sleep.
Lavender, orange, ylang-ylang, chamomile, Stress Away, Peace and Calming, valerian, marjoram, cedarwood, frankincense, sandalwood, & bergamot.
One of the best things about essential oils is that they benefit more body systems than just the one you may be using it for!

sleep upon his eyes…sleep in a swift wave
delivering him from all his pains and labours,
blessed sleep that seals his eyes at last.
(Homer, Odyssey, 5.544-7)
