Sleep Better Wellness Therapy Gift Box

Sleep is vital for your body to repair damage in your body due to stress and life’s workload. Sleep is also a time when our body and mind relax, but for too many people, bedtime is a stressful time with lots of tossing and turning, checking clocks, getting up for a drink and visit to the bathroom. Before you know it, it’s time to get up for a new day.

Our Sleep Better Wellness Therapy Gift Box has everything you need to create a bedtime routine.

Firstly, you need to begin to calm your thoughts an hour before bed, so this is the ideal time for some self-care., Before your shower, the simple act of brushing your skin (in an upward direction) is very calming and soothing. The brushing action also helps with circulation, this is excellent is you struggle with Restless Leg Syndrome or lymphedema. After your shower, massage in the oil. This is a highly nutritious oil, easily absorbed into your skin. We use jojoba, apricot kernel and grapeseed carrier oils, 100% organic

We have blended organic essential oils of;

Petitgrain - sleep-inducing, calming and soothing

Ginger - excellent to help with digestive issues, which may be stopping you from drifting off to sleep. It is also warming and comforting.

Eucalyptus - if you struggle with sinus congestion, eucalyptus oil helps to clear your sinuses. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory oil, helping to ease muscular aches and pains

Lavender - soothing, relaxing, calming

The Sleep Balm is made with organic Illipe butter, Rosehip Butter, Berry Wax and Apricot Kernel Oil, along with our “help me, it’s way past my bedtime” essential oil blend as above. To use, simply apply a small amount to your chest so that you breathe the calming scent. You can add the balm to your pulse points, too

Please always perform a patch test before use. We have included a wooden spatula to use with the balm. Store in a cool place, if the balm becomes runny, leave it in the fridge for an hour

We have included a Mindfulness Guidance Card with two meditations to help quieten your mind. You can use a Mindful Body Scan, once in bed to help.

• Begin with your arms by your side, lying on your back (maybe place a pillow under your knees to protect your back, if this is uncomfortable, place it between your knees and lie on your side)

• Feel the bed under your body, make contact and close your eyes, take a breath in and breathe out, repeat this a few times.

• Begin at the top of your head and work slowly down your body, noticing how each part feels. If there is tension, take a breath and let the area soften.

• Once down at your feet (well done if you are still awake). begin to notice how each part is connected and work slowly back up.

• Notice how your skin feels, warm, soft and happy.

• If a thought enters your head, acknowledge it and let it go as if it were a leaf floating down the river.

• By noticing how your body feels, how your breath feels, you will learn how to relax and let go of today
