It may just be the placebo effect, but I have been using lavender oil on my temples before bedtime and I really do think that it’s been helping me sleep. I’ve read up on the benefits of the oil and they are endless. Most commonly used for it’s skin healing and calming effects, the essential oil is also used to treat sore muscles, respiratory discomfort, and hormonal imbalances. I purchased a small bottle of oil at the Vitamin Shoppe for only $10.
