GLI:N Homemade recipe: Sleeping balm

I had a terrible sleepless night yesterday. So I thought I'd make something that would help if it happened again. After a short research, I put this not so difficult recipe together. This cream helps for babies, children, adults. Attention, when you make it for a baby, please use only dried herbs and no essential oil.

You can apply this cream on your chest, forehead, wrist for a maximal effect.
Chamomile and lavender are the best calming herbs and oils that you can use as natural remedies for sleepless nights. 

And as a bonus, the lavender will keep the mosquito`s away from you.



Ingredients:
1 cup of coconut butter
2 tbls of jojoba oil
2 tbls of bees wax
1/4 cup of chamomile flowers
1/4 cup of lavender flowers
3-3 drops of lavender and chamomile essential oils



 Process:
 1.Add coconut oil to an oven proof pan or a double boiler. Let the oil melt on medium heat.
 2. Stir your herb to the oil. Let your herbs heat through for a few minutes.
 3. While you are heating turn your oven to 200 Celsius degrees and turn it off once it reaches the temperature.
 4. Take the herbs off heat, cover them and stick them in the heated oven.
 5. Let them stay there for about 3 hours covered with a lid.
 6. Take a glass jar or a bowl and fill the infused oil into. You can add the herbs once they have drained.

 7. Clean out your pan and pour your strained oil back.
 8. Add the jojoba oil to the mixture.
 9. Add wax and let it melt on medium heat.
10. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
11. Add the essential oil to the law warm mixture.
12. Pour the mixture into a dry, clean jar. Let it harden.
13. Apply to your forehead, chest, wrist when it is needed.


Have a GLI:N week and a sweet night
Rita
