It is recommended to use natural remedies to have more sleep as there are aromas, essences and scents that help you to relax and fall asleep in the best possible way. The most indicated are:
- Lavender : Known worldwide for relaxing body and mind. When cleaning the room, use lavender-scented cleansers.
- Chamomile : Take a cup of tea just before bed to calm the nerves.
- Lime Tree : Can be found in spray. Spray on the pillow and sleep well.
- Cedar wood incense : They have anti-fatigue action. Ascend 1 a day, in a place where the whole house is scented
- Lavender - Drink 3 to 4 cups a day and 1 cup before going to sleep. For tea, put 2-3 g of flowers to 1 cup of boiling water and let stand 5-10 minutes, filtering at the end. Using lavender essential oil as an air freshener is also a good strategy for sleeping well.
- Hops - Drink 1 cup before bed. For tea, put 10 g of cones to 1 liter of boiling water and then let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Rosé passionfruit - drink 1 cup before bed. For tea, put 1 teaspoon of dried plant to 1 cup of boiling water, let stand for 5-10 minutes and strain.
These aromas increase sleep because they make the breathing deeper, causing the brain to receive more oxygen and, therefore, makes us more serene and thus we have less difficulty falling asleep.
Medicinal herbs do not have immediate effect like the remedies, so they should be taken for 3 weeks to see the results. See also other options to sleep well in: Home remedy for insomnia.
