Why does poppy oil help with insomnia?
Poppy oil is obtained from poppy seeds by cold pressing - it preserves all the beneficial substances that have a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
It contains natural fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that help calm the nerves, relieve stress and create a cozy atmosphere for sleep.
How do I use poppy oil for sleep?
1. Massage before bed
I apply a few drops of poppy oil to my temples and behind the ears, gently massaging.
This ritual helps to relax and forget about the hustle and bustle of the day.
2. Aromatherapy
I add a drop of oil to an aroma lamp or to a cotton pad next to the bed.
A subtle, unobtrusive aroma soothes, like a gentle whisper of nature.
3. A warm bath with poppy oil
I add 5-7 drops of oil to the bath before bed - the skin absorbs the beneficial substances, and the body and mind relax.
What else is important to know?
- Poppy oil is a natural assistant that does not cause addiction.
- It can be combined with other relaxing practices: warm tea with honey, meditation or light stretching.
- But if sleep problems are serious, you should consult a doctor - poppy oil can be an excellent addition, but not a replacement for treatment.
My conclusion:
Poppy oil has become a small ritual of calm and self-care for me.
Instead of pills - nature, instead of stress - comfort, instead of insomnia - soft, deep sleep.
Try it yourself - perhaps this oil will become your new best friend before bed!
Good night and sweet dreams!
