下面就為大家介紹幾種能治療失眠的香薰及使用方法。
像身體雖然疲勞，但眼睛卻清醒、不易入睡、淺眠等失眠問題，適用的精油有：熏衣草、甜橙、佛手柑、洋甘菊、薄荷、葡萄柚、橙花、檀香、依蘭等。
香薰精油的使用方法:
1. 熏香：任選適用的精油單獨或混合熏香
2. 精油浴：熏衣草4滴 + 佛手柑2滴 + 依蘭2滴
3. 吸嗅：睡前，在枕頭旁(或枕頭套、紙巾)滴落1滴熏衣草，如此氣氛會變的如同置身于盛開的熏衣草花園般。
熏衣草即使附著于布料也不會污染(乾後不留痕跡)，附著於肌膚也不會有任何問題。
4. 塗抹： (佛手柑1滴 + 薄荷1滴 + 檸檬1滴 + 基礎油1ml)。睡前，將複方精油2~3滴滴落於胸部的中央部分，然後一面攤開，一面擦入肌膚內。如此精油的芳香和成分，將會從肌膚和鼻子吸收，而可以進入于安詳的夢境。
失眠時，不妨試試上述的香薰療法，讓自己能在迷人的香氣中甜甜的入睡。
