[Everything doTERRA] Re: Clary Sage for Sleep?

Thank you all so much for the ideas! Last night I did my normal ritual, but I also did the four drops of Lavender and put it on my back. I did feel like I fell asleep faster. I'm about to order some Clary Sage and Vetiver, so I hope these will help as well! I have high hopes for them.

Sorry, I know how you feel. I had insomnia for a year once when younger. Wild orange and serenity work wonders to help with my anxiety when I have it. I apply they to my arms like perfume straight (no dillution) so I can smell them. I use them separately though. You can even drink a drop of wild orange in your water, just add the drop in the cup first and add water to mix it up. I use a drop of clary sage on my feet each night for another issue and my husband puts a few drops of lavender on my back and lightly rubs it in with no dilution/oil and it really helps me sleep. Something about it on my back made all the difference. You could use serenity alone in the same way. Also, I would use a lot less oil as they are very concentrated. I only have 4 drops on my whole back. Oh, if you have a diffuser try and diffuse lavender or serenity or a calming oil for you at bedtime. Good luck. You are at the right place for help!

I was looking around the website for tips when dealing with insomnia. I've been having problems for about a month now. Every night before bed, I use ten drops of Serenity and Lavender mixed with Jojoba Oil and put it on the bottom of my feet. I also put it under my nose and on my forehead. I relax with this on for about an hour before bed while reading a book. I put some more under my nose before I go to sleep, but I am still having major issues falling asleep. I was reading some posts about how clary sage has helped some people with sleeping. Has this helped anyone else? Does anyone have any other ideas for me? Anything is appreciated! I am new to essential oils and am trying to get the hang of it. It was recommended by my therapist. I know that the insomnia is caused by anxiety. I started having anxiety attacks a few months ago. I have those pretty much under control. I think it's now turned into not being able to fall asleep, because I have never had this problem before.
