SLEEPESSENCE AT A GLANCE

  • Formulated with Lavender and Valerian essential oils which help promote restful sleep
  • Supports the body's natural sleep rhythm with melatonin
  • Promotes overall well-being when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle
  • Can be used to help promote rest whenever you need it

SleepEssence is a great way to support sleep, especially if used alongside diffusing and applying oils. We reach for this supplement when rest is elusive, when we feel our defenses going down and want to allow our bodies extra rest, or anytime we need a little boost when it comes to deep sleep. The ingredients in SleepEssence help to physically relax the body and sooth the mind so that you can find restful sleep.

BACKGROUND Sleep is a critical part of our health, both for everyday wellness and when acute needs arise. Getting enough sleep can help reduce inflammation, make it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and improve everything from mental health to memory. Did you know that our bodies actually use sleep for healing?? Yep. While we sleep our bodies are working to repair cellular damage, to fight off germs, to balance hormone levels, and reduce inflammation. Sleep is incredibly important!
