How to Make

Combine the following in a small measuring cup and then funnel into a 2 oz. spray bottle:

• 1 ounce of Witch Hazel 
• 1 ounce of distilled water
• 30 drops of Essential Oils (see below for suggested combinations)

Essential Oils to Use

• Lavender – one of the most popular ‘calming’ oils because it reduces stress and promotes a deep sleep.
• Ylang-Ylang– has a very rich, floral scent that helps with relaxation and slows down your heart rate.     
• Frankincense – used for mediation, inner peace, and has a warm, honey-like scent.
• Cedarwood – this has a woody, warm smell and is great for relieving anxiety.   
• Bergamot  – contains a citrusy aroma that soothes the nerves and assists with curing insomnia.
• Roman Chamomile – reminiscent of chamomile tea, this is a relaxing oil that eases feelings of discontent.

• Earth Scents: 10 drops ylang-ylang, 10 drops cedarwood, 10 drops lavender
• Sleepytime Tea: 5 drops frankincense, 10 drops bergamot, 15 drops roman chamomile
