The hours are ticking and Morpheus has not yet passed, the alarm clock hands are speeding up and you still haven't closed your eyes. This whirlwind of anxiety surprises us at night and sometimes drives us totally crazy. 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, ... and we are still there, turning over in our sheets and not finding sleep.
The days follow each other and the nights become endless with an increasing fatigue during the day. These insomnia can push us to depression, anxiety and anxiety and bring us to a state of fatigue impossible to manage. The nights become a real nightmare but the days are also a sign of problems: anxiety, aggressiveness, mood disorders, apathy, etc. A vicious circle that is usually difficult to break without help.
The solution of many, and mainly of the so-called "classic" general practitioners: Hypnotics, more commonly called sleeping pills. This type of medication is used to induce sleep and deep rest and is of course absolutely not natural.
Let's not quote the brands but let's see these molecules prescribed by doctors: Alprazolam or bromazepan which are very harmful on the long term because in addition to the risks of drowsiness or sedation (if taken outside the studied framework), they are linked to an important addiction which is difficult to get rid of. Some people can't imagine going to bed without the little pill that will take them to dreamland. This sleep induction is totally chemical and disruptive of our natural cycle. Therefore, by modifying the way we fall asleep, our sleep runs the risk of not being of good quality.
Although it is important not to go without transition from chemical to natural, you should know that it is possible to help you fall asleep with phytotherapy, which is much gentler and more adapted to your body. By discussing with your family doctor, he or she will be able to manage the dosage of your chemical medication gently so that you do not suffer too much from the inconvenience of withdrawal or addiction caused by sleeping pills and then, little by little, you will be able to switch completely to a natural therapy to manage your insomnia worries.
Plants have always been there for us and our well-being and while chemical medication has been taking over for far too long, essential oils are always there to support us and help us get through a sometimes complicated period. Today, in pharmacies, herbalists or in organic stores, it is easy to find ready-made complexes specially designed to induce sleep, to relax, to have a good night. From one manufacturer to another, these essential oil compounds combine quality oils with properties adapted to your needs. The ideal is of course to find the oils that correspond to your needs and according to your sleep concerns. They are numerous to be able to soothe, to calm, to de-stress or to take you gently and naturally where the dreams appear.
An essential oil to have in our aromatherapy
Garden marjoram, also known as shell marjoram, Latin name Origanum majorana: It has the ability to relieve nervous disorders as well as the consequences on the physical body such as spasmophilia, stress, difficulty breathing, stomach pain as well as other disorders related to the nervous system.
Contrary to sleeping pills, it induces a deep and restful sleep due to its sedative quality. Its effectiveness will be able to allure the most nervous and the most stressed by an eventful night. By diluting it to 50% in a vegetable oil, only one drop will be enough to soothe you and allow you to fall asleep naturally. In massage on the solar plexus, it will intoxicate you moreover of its rather tenacious odor.
A little advice to help you sleep
To help you sleep, we also recommend taking a relaxing bath for twenty to thirty minutes before getting under the sheets, in which you will immerse yourself completely. Add a few drops of True/Official Lavender essential oils previously diluted in your shower gel or in a Solubol type solution. Candles or zen music can also help you relax and unwind completely.
Finally, prefer a good book to a TV, smartphone or tablet screen!
