Aromatherapy Pillow Spray Brings Sweet Dreams
Never ever underestimate the toll everyday stress and strain take on your body and mind. Even if you launch your professional sorties armed with excellent strategies, fine defenses, and sophisticated coping skills, your muscles accurately will record the price you pay for holding onto the corner office. Even if you can power through an epic list of errands and tasks approximately the way Sherman powered through Georgia, your brain’s left hemisphere will tote-up every unreconciled conflict and every loose end. Naturally, your accumulated stress and tension will return to visit you at bedtime, making you feel as uneasy as Scrooge in the presence of Marley’s ghost. Modern medicine offers two viable options: try the prescription sleep air, or go all-natural with an aromatherapy pillow spray.
Why even consider a remedy so quaintly archaic as an aromatherapy pillow spray?
After all, Ambien and Lunesta have proven their effectiveness in thousands of clinical trials; what could an aromatherapy pillow spray possibly have to recommend it in the face of modern pharmaceutical research and technology? You want to fall asleep easily, stay asleep all night, and awaken refreshed and ready for the next day’s foray into the hostile territory you recognize as your everyday life. “Just write me the ‘scrip, Doc,” you say to yourself, dismissing the idea of an aromatherapy pillow spray as just so much voodoo nonsense. Drugs effortlessly deliver the results you want; why bother with decocting some ancient remedy for an aromatherapy pillow spray for a complaint bio-science has conquered?
Of course, you probably should consider those warnings and disclaimers. For example, doctors will recommend you stop using your prescription sleep aid after just a couple of nights, because they do carry considerable risk of dependency. The magical mix of chamomile and lavender in your aromatherapy pillow spray carry equal risk of addiction—but they cannot hurt you; did anyone say you could go into seizures or a fugue state from an overdose of flowers?
Your prescription sleep aid tends to send you into such a deep sleep you miss your REM cycles, depriving your psyche of precious opportunities to process daily events and circumstances through productive and often powerfully revealing dreams. Your aromatherapy pillow spray will lull you into normal sleep cycles, often provoking extremely vivid—and exceptionally sweet—dreams. And there’s always that sleepwalking thing—“episodes of unconscious, unremembered behavior have been reported.” No one ever crashed her car into the traffic barriers on Capitol Hill while under the influence of Clary Sage and Geranium.
Practice Sleep Hygiene
In the fall of 2008, a high-powered Harvard University study documented the ravages sleep deprivation wrought on medical students completing their residencies. The study indicated that one of every five diagnoses or procedures undertaken by a sleep-deprived resident ultimately was proven inaccurate, imprecise, or just plain wrong. Although everyone loves a good doctor drama, the bedraggled residents by no means suffer alone. Preliminary research strongly suggests more than ¾ of all Americans suffer chronic sleep deprivation, often to the point where its effects mimic those of intoxication. Naturally, poor sleep results from a host of stress-related causes; but physicians and naturopaths agree most people can cure most of their sleep problems with proper “sleep hygiene.” In addition to nightly use of your aromatherapy pillow spray, enjoy a soothing, relaxing aromatherapy bath and a cup of herbal tea laced with chamomile before bed. No one ever said those rock-a-bye-baby florals were reserved just for your pillow.
