Getting a good night’s sleep is critical to a person’s health and well-being no matter what age. Many of us aren’t getting the recommended number of hours needed for optimum mental, physical and emotional health. Warm Buddy Company is committed to helping everyone get more rest of a better quality with our line-up of natural sleep therapy products.

Using heat relaxes the body’s muscles, improving circulation and stimulating the release of endorphins. Endorphins are a chemical naturally produced by the body that give an all over calming sensation providing the gentle transition to sleep. Combining heat and aromatherapy can offer even more relief, especially when dealing with insomnia or other sleep problems. Preliminary research shows that certain essential oils such as lavender and chamomile may help encourage relaxation therefore promoting deeper sleep. It is thought that inhaling essential oil molecules may influence brain chemicals involved in controlling sleep.

Many studies demonstrate how lavender may be significant when it comes to easing sleep problems. A 2006 study of 42 women with insomnia found that four weeks of treatment with lavender aromatherapy helped relieve insomnia while also reducing symptoms of depression. A 2005 study of 31 healthy sleepers, showed that lavender aromatherapy promoted deeper sleep, and in a 2008 study of infants, researchers found that adding lavender-enriched oil to the bath helped increase participants’ sleep time. A 2005 review of medicinal plants for insomnia advised that chamomile and ylang-ylang essential oils also appear to improve sleep.
