Bach Flowers has an insomnia remedy.
Using essential oils is very helpful for insomnia. Following are several blends to use for insomnia. Everyone is different. Something might work well for one person and not another. Also, your body might get used to one thing and it won’t work any longer, so try something else. For all the essential oil blends, gently apply the blend across the forehead, on the outside tops of the ears and at the base of the hairline in the back of the neck. Rub under the nose with any leftover on your hand. Avoid getting essential oils in your eyes. Use only one blend at a time. A little truly goes a lont way.
