Description

Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in humans and throughout the animal kingdom, in all mammals and birds, and in many reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In humans, other mammals, and many other animals that have been studied — such as fish, birds, ants, and fruit-flies — regular sleep is necessary for survival. The capability for arousal from sleep is a protective mechanism and also necessary for health and survival.
Everyone has a different optimal sleep amount. Some find that more than 6 hours makes them drowsy and tired, whilst others can't operate properly with less than 8 hours. The National Sleep Foundation maintains that eight to nine hours of sleep for adult humans is optimal and that sufficient sleep benefits alertness, memory, problem solving and overall health, as well as reducing the risk of accidents. A widely publicized 2003 study performed at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine demonstrated that cognitive performance declines with fewer than eight hours of sleep.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. It can be caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression, or bipolar disorder and sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Poor sleep quality can occur as a result of depression. The more relaxed a person is, the greater the likelihood of getting a good night's sleep. Relaxation techniques such as meditation have been shown to help people sleep. Such techniques can lower stress levels from both the mind and body, which leads to a deeper, more restful sleep. Aromatherapy oils and massage techniques are now being used increasingly to help with sleep problems as well as relaxation.
Lavender is perhaps best known for its association with sleep and is reputed to aid insomnia or sleep related disorder caused by tension or stress. It is can also help with shock related conditions. For migraine and headaches it can be good when used in a cold compress or massaged on to the temples. It can help with PMT or depression. Lavender is renowned for treating burns and as it can be applied directly to the skin it makes a very easy treatment for scalds, sunburn etc. It is said to be good for allergies, bruises, athlete’s foot, boils, spots, eczema, scabies, dermatitis, inflammations and acne. Sores, spots and boils can also be treated with Lavender oil.

The manufacturer makes no medicinal claims for this blend of oil and it is important to read the warning before use. This product can be used as a massage or bath oil.
