Insomnia has many causes. This balm makes no miracle claims, so think of it as one more tool in a healthy bedtime routine. If your insomnia sticks around and hurts your quality of life, we encourage you to see a professional!

Check the FAQ at the bottom of this page to learn more about this recipe and its possible contraindications.

1. In a double boiler, melt the wax and the vegetable oil over medium heat, stirring regularly.

2. Once everything is melted, take the container off the double boiler, add the essential oils and mix well to blend this future “miracle” balm.

3. Pour into a small glass jar and let set in the fridge, uncovered.

For the cute (and fragrant) touch, you can sprinkle a few lavender buds over the balm while it's still liquid.

You can apply it on your temples, the inside of your wrists, the crook of your neck, your solar plexus... Whatever works, as long as you can breathe in a few whiffs when it's time to head to dreamland, and it becomes one more tool in your new routine.

On that note, have a lovely night!
