Upgrade your Sleep Ritual with Pillow Mists

First things first, although I’m passionate about wellbeing and I’m a self confessed fragrance addict, until recently I’d never really managed to make pillow mists work for me. Full disclosure: I’ve suffered sleep envy for most of my adult life and that said, whenever I tried a pillow spray I had high expectations, expecting it to magically send me to sleep, waking up 6 or 7 hours later fully refreshed and ready to take on anything; so of course when nothing of the sort happened I’d decide that they didn’t work. But, as I’ve worked on boosting my wellbeing over recent years and tried to find positive ways of managing my stress, I’ve undertaken a deep dive into the power of scent, especially aromatherapy and to a lesser degree aromacology.

What I have discovered is that these mists work to calm, soothe and relax me; what I’ve found is that I look forward to my bedtime ritual… I spritz my pillows and sometimes my duvet, lay down and breathe.

Some of the key ingredients that you’re likely find in effective pillow mists are:

• Chamomile: Known for helping to reduce anxiety, stress, tension and promote sleep
• Bergamot: Known for helping to reduce anxiety, stress, symptoms of depression and uplifting mood
• Rose Geranium: Known for calming, relaxing, and uplifting mood.
• Vetiver: Promotes relaxation & sleep, calms the mind, balances emotions
• Clary Sage: Relieves stress, promotes relaxation, creates a sense of calm and relaxation.
• Marjoram: Stress relief and sleep promotion.
• Lavender: Stress relief, promotes sleep, enhances mood
• Sandalwood: Calming, stress relief, relaxing, mood, sleep

These are my favourites…

These are all unique blends that are beautiful and addictive so I’ve got all three of them at my bedside.
