The other night I fell asleep like I normally do and about ten minutes later the phone rang and that's all it took to make me one of the 64 million other Americans staring at the ceiling. Frustrated with my tossing and turning, my wife suggested I go to her website http://www.healwithoil.com/ and find what essential oil is good for insomnia.
I found Spikenard essential oil helps promote sleep. So I broke out the Spikenard and tapped out a couple of drops into my hand and rubbed some on the bottom of my feet and before long I was cutting some serious Zzzz's. As I drifted off to sleep, the thought occurred to me, "How many others have this problem, but don't know about this wonderful natural sleep aid?"
I never had a problem getting to sleep before and never gave much thought to the problem of Insomnia. I knew to avoid caffeinated drinks late in the day, so I made it a rule not to drink any after 4:00. After doing a little research on the topic, I find out that's only part of the problem. Fear, stress and anxiety are big contributors to those not able to get a good nights sleep. With today's economy I'm sure the number is increasing.
Insomnia is defined by the experts as: the inability to get to or stay asleep and the result of the lack of quality or quantity of sleep. Which makes for a not-so-good next day. Most sleeplessness occurs in the early part of the night. Sleeplessness which occurs later in the night or just before normal time of waking up, could be caused by depression.
According to Lexicon-Biology.com; Melatonin is a molecule manufactured by a gland of the brain that functions as a hormone. It influences the sleep-wake cycle by acting according to the day-night alternation. Children rarely have problems with insomnia because their bodies produce a sufficient amount of this hormone to keep them asleep. Now us older folkour bodies do not produce the same levels of melatonin as when we were younger. It just happens that Spikenard essential helps with that problem.
Spikenard oil, is pale yellow in color with a medium viscosity and has an earthy warm aroma. It is an aromatic herb with rhizome root which is ground into a powder and then steam distilled to extract the precious oil. The technical name for Spikenard is Nardostachys jatamansi and is of the Valerianaceae botanical family. Originally from the Himalayan Mountains of India it expanded into China and Japan. Incense traders traversed thousands of miles through the holy land, Egypt and far into the Roman Empire. If you need more information on the history of Spikenard, visit our website http://www.healwithoil.com/.
One of the main reasons for Spikenard's popularity is its high concentration of Sesquiterpenes. Oils that are high in Sesquiterpenes work down at the sub-cellular level, which affects the membrane fluidity and allows oxygen transfer. It also can access the DNA in the cell which can erase information in the memory of the cell. This is an important step to setting the stage for reprogramming the cell's DNA to its original intent.
So when that insomnia keeps you up let Spikenard put it to bed. Becca has a lot more information about all the essential oils mentioned in the Scripture on her website: http://www.healwithoil.com/. To purchase Spikenard Essential Oil visit our website http://HealWithEssentialOil.com.

Pandemic Level 6 - Now What? How to protect your family from Swine Flu
What many dreaded has finally happened. The WHO (World Health Organization) on Thursday declared we are now in a worldwide pandemic, with the swine flu alert raised to phase six, the highest level. They also stated that the H1N1 virus has spread to enough countries with it considered "unstoppable." Not that it is considered more deadly or dangerous, but certainly serious with almost 30,000 cases reported worldwide.
The United States isn't out of the woods yet, with reports that the number of deaths will be higher on Friday's update on the Center for Disease Control's website. The declaration of phase six certainly has been expected for weeks since many of the cases reported from the Southern Hemisphere where the flu season is under way, is showing itself something to be reckoned with. The WHO's urgency for raising the alert level to six is so that production of a vaccine can be available by September before the flu season starts in the North.
For those who do not want to wait for the vaccine or prefer not to take it, can protect their family with a natural alternative, such as essential oils. Essential oils are a powerful weapon against viral pathogens invading our bodies and are proven to take on all viral and bacterial germs.
Essential oils such as Camphor, Cinnamon Bark, Clove Bud, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemon and Rosemary oils are a must-have for any First Aid Kit because of the wide range of problems these oils can treat. For example, Camphor essential oil has for decades been known as an excellent weapon in fighting coughs, colds, flu and fever. It is also an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
Cinnamon is revered for its antiseptic properties and its pleasant spicy scent. It is best known for the treatment of stomach ailments (gas, diarrhea, upset). This oil has the ability to combat viral and infectious diseases. Research has been unable to find a virus, bacteria, or fungus that can live in the presence of Cinnamon.
Got a toothache? Clove Bud Essential Oil makes a great choice. It relieves dental pain, tooth aches, mouth ulcers, and sore gums. Clove helps to neutralize bad breath. It is frequently added to tooth pastes and mouth washes. Not only is it a good for dental pain Clove Bud can help relieve minor aches and pains. It is also antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, and has stimulating properties. It has also been found to help with other health problems like indigestion, coughs, asthma, headache, stress and blood impurities.
Eucalyptus Essential Oil is native to Australia and is a welcomed addition to every medicine cabinet for its ability to fight colds, flu and fever. It is also effective for skin ailments like burns, blisters, wounds, insect bites, lice and skin infections.
Herbalist regards Lavender Essential Oil as the most useful and versatile essential oil for therapeutic purposes and its ability to accelerate healing of burns. It is also good as an analgesic, antiseptic, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericide, decongestant, deodorant, and as a diuretic. This thin, strong scented oil has a calming effect on the body and helps to reduce stress, anxiety and promote sleep.
Lemon has been historically recognized as a cleanser. It is recognized as being antiseptic, and as having refreshing and cooling properties. Research has also shown lemon essential oil to enhance the ability to concentrate. Lemon also is highly prized for its high anti-bacterial properties. On skin and hair it can be used for its cleansing effect, as well as for treating cuts and boils.
Rosemary a popular herb for cooking has medicinal purposes in Therapeutic Essential Oil form. It has the ability to stimulate cell renewal, stimulate hair growth, boost mental activity, relieve respiratory problems and reduce pain.
Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Lemon and Rosemary can be blended to make the very popular Thieves formula to combat any type of viral or bacterial infection, protecting you and your family from the swine flu.
