This homemade sleep salve is such an easy recipe to make and have handy to help lull you into dreamland! Essential oils are normally so much better than OTC medication.
Homemade Sleep Salve with Essential Oils
This homemade skin salve with essential oils is SO easy to make. You just put the jar of coconut oil in a bowl of hot water to to liquify and do the same with the beeswax. It’s only 4 tablespoons beeswax so not too much, just enough to bind the lotion together so it’s not all runny. Add your oils, whip and voila! Your gift is made. Just add to some pretty jars.
You can always change up the oils if you’d like to…sometimes lavender is the key to sleep and lavender and lemon is good together. Even lavender, lemon and peppermint. Just make sure you add about 100 drops of oil total, no matter which combination you use.
When Should I Use this Homemade Sleep Salve?
Use this sleep salve recipe just before bed. Rub it on your temples, the back of your neck and/or your chest. There are many reasons why one might have trouble sleeping and you will be more rested if you use a natural method over sleeping pills.
