Description

Sleep is vital to our well- being and our body’s ability to recuperate, heal and manage its internal processes correctly. Being unable to sleep is a health issue when it continues for more than one or two nights in a row. The more often it happens the more difficult it becomes as you become over-tired and unable to relax.

Sleepyhead is designed to help with nervous exhaustion and restlessness, provide a sense of calm following over-excitement or anxiety and allow you to drift gently off to sleep.

It helps provide physical and mental relaxation and helps calm the frantic urgency of night-time thought patterns. Containing Lavender and Neroli, this blend helps develop deep sleep and active REM sleep which relaxes internal dreams and helps prevent nightmares from disturbing restful sleep.

Uses

Use the Atomiser room spray immediately before going to sleep, paying particular attention to the bed and bed linens and any night clothes worn for sleeping. Use the Roll-On dispenser to massage the Ready to Use oil onto temples, forehead, the back of the neck and pulse points at the wrists.

If sleep is disturbed use the Ready to Use oil and place a few drops across the top lip (avoiding mucous membranes) so that the fragrance can be inhaled during sleep.
