What About.... Aromatherapy for sleep?

Remember back a few weeks ago when we talked about having a bedtime ritual or routine?

It's so important to cue your body to know that it's time to wind down and rest. And sometimes it’s the little sensory things that help us shift gears at the end of the day.

Have you ever smelled something and been instantly transported somewhere else? There are certain Christmastime scents that transport me right back to my childhood home at Christmas.

What about you? A scent that reminds you of home, or your grandparents, or baking?

Our sense of smell is pretty powerful. A particular scent can remind us of a person, a place, or even a feeling. So it got me wondering… What About aromatherapy for sleep?

Aromatherapy for sleep

Don't let that big fancy word scare you off. Aromatherapy simply means that you are using scents from essential oils to create a calming atmosphere.

Lavender and chamomile are common choices for relaxation.

The interesting part isn't that a particular scent is some kind of magic sleep cure—it’s that a familiar, calming scent can become a cue that it’s time to slow down.

People often use scent in different ways:

🪻 Diffuser

🪻Pillow/linen spray

🪻Bath/body products

🪻A personal product with a calming scent

Important to note: aromatherapy isn’t a replacement for good sleep habits. Instead think of it as one small piece of the wind-down puzzle.

When I first tried the magnesium sleep products, I discovered a whole new level of what better sleep could feel like!

The lavender in the sleep lotion helped me to fall asleep faster and I slept soundly all night long. I couldn’t believe how much better I felt the next morning.

Now I find, when I use the lotion as part of my bedtime routine, the lavender scent signals my brain that it's time to get sleepy.

Seriously, I don't get to read nearly as many pages of my book as I used to. 🤣

Lavender is known for its gentle strength and wide range of benefits. Would you like to know why it's often called "The Queen of Essential Oils"?

💙 Myra's Pick of The Week

The Joyful Jordan box is our monthly subscription box, and each month has a different theme with products picked to go along with it.

Our theme this month is Sleep-tember. 😉 So I've got a special pick today- the Joyful Jordan Sleep box.

If you're curious about trying the sleep magnesium formula, this is a fun way to experience it in three different forms—spray, stick, and lotion—and see which one you like best.

This Week's Tiny Challenge

• Notice whether your brain starts associating that scent with slowing down and getting ready for sleep.
• No fancy diffuser required!

And there's one more September thing I don't want you to forget about...

September Scroll & Shop!

This is where I put the month's bundles, favorites, specials, and other things I'm sharing throughout the month—all in one place.

The Scroll & Shop gets a fresh look each month, so I'll share the new one here at the beginning of every month.

And speaking of comforting scents...Bundle #5 is a Crimson Kiss bundle with warm notes of apple, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mmmmm...I love a good fall scent!

Here's to a fresh month, simple routines, and taking a little time for yourself. ❤️

❤️ Myra

P.S. If you're a scent-sensitive person, don't feel like you have to use essential oils just because everyone says you should. Your version of relaxing counts, too!
