The winners of the doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil (affiliate link) are:
Melissa W. – “I start winding down about an hour before bedtime (which we keep at the same time every night if possible) turning off the TV and putting away all electronic devices. We turn on soft music while we wrap up the evening, Once In bed we turn on a fan for white noise, we journal out last few thoughts … then meditation closes out the night. Kind of a production, but very effective.”
Nancy N. – “I like to sit calmly for about 5 min. Would love to try this on my pillow. Love lavender!”
Michelle D. – “On Friday or Saturday night, when my kids can stay up a little bit longer, we snuggle together in our comfy recliner. Sunday through Thursday, I read to the kids for 30 minutes and talk about what we liked best about that day. After that, then I complete my bedtime rituals with calming yoga stretches and/or a bubble bath, with the lights dimmed low. I’m usually asleep within 10 minutes. ?”
Congratulations, winners!

Why I Love doTERRA’s Lavender Essential Oil

I love, love, love doTERRA essential oils and lavender is one of my favorites.
Lavender is often considered a must-have oil to keep on hand at all times due to its versatile uses, including calming and relaxing properties that promote peaceful sleep and ease feelings of tension.*
I keep a bottle in the bathroom, in the bedroom and in the kitchen – to use in the bath, on my feet before bed and on my skin whenever I cut or burn myself in the kitchen!

Lavender has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume.
Its calming and relaxing qualities continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes.
Applied topically, Lavender is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections.
Add to your bath water to soak away stress or apply to your temples and the back of your neck.

Because of its versatile properties, I consider Lavender the must-have oil to have on hand at all times.

Reading is my go to thing to do before I go to bed at night. I have a hard time falling asleep so this seems to help.
a cup of warm milk with honey starts to relax me & a few cotton balls with essential oil placed at the seamed end of my pillow, and nitey-nite.
I’m so lucky to sleep well and fall asleep easily most nights. On the rare occasion when I can’t sleep, a warm mug of milk with honey always does the trick!
I have found that if I do a 10 minute guided meditation (I found many on YouTube) I sleep well that night. Of course, I would never turn down a lavender Epsom salt bath either. For me, it’s all about letting go of the things that caused me worry. <3
I diffuse lavender during the night
Lavender is such a peaceful color, I’ve painted by bedroom lavender. I put Lavender on my feet before going to sleep.
I lay down in bed and read a book. I fall asleep within 5 minutes or less. It is getting back to sleep when I wake up that is my problem.
I love to read before I go to bed. If I have extra time to really unwind, I step into my spa bathtub and let the water jets do their work. Of course, lavender oil is always part of that routine!
I lay down and read a book until I fall asleep. Which is quick, it is getting back to sleep when I wake up that is the problem.
I usually get everything ready for the morning before I go to bed. That helps me sleep better knowing I don’t have to worry about it when I get up.
