Description
Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Do you find yourself battling with a restless mind when you should be drifting off to sleep? Maybe you find yourself awake and worried in the middle of the night?
If you thought yes, to any of the above, then you may find relief with Calm Balm: Rose & Lavender Sleep Aid – trust this neurotic beekeeper who spends most winter nights (and some summer ones as well), worrying how her bees are faring.
Studies suggest that the scent of lavender works by calming the central nervous system and promoting slow-wave sleep, which helps you sleep longer and better. While the scent of rose can reduce stress and lower the heart rate, it has also been shown to have anti-depressant benefits as it is traditionally used to calm and uplift.
Best used right before bed (but can be used during stressful times during the day), how this balm works, is by applying it to the temples, your hairline, the nape of your neck, and your pulse points in slow, rhythmic motions, gently rubbing the balm into your skin. I find that it really helps to practice deep breathing while doing so and perhaps play some calming music at a low volume that is on a timer so you can drift off to sleep worry-free. I also include a nice cup of herbal tea, made with lemon balm, lavender, chamomile, vanilla, rose petals and of course sweetened with a little honey.
This balm is available in a travel tube and a 2 oz tin. Made in small batches, each is unique and may differ slightly in color/design from what is shown.
Ingredients: jojoba oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, emulsifying wax, Lavender essential oil, & Rose essential oil.

I kind of made one mistake with this balm. I ordered the travel size and I figure one of these days I won’t be paying attention and I will use it as a lip balm! LOL! I have no doubt I will survive, but I know it is coming. This sleep balm is calming and soothing – I would recommend buying a tin though!
