Almost anyone can create a lavender blend, tell you that it's specifically for insomnia, which isn't true, and charge you plenty for it. Lavender is the least expensive essential oil in the marketplace today. Our Deep Sleep synergy blend contains no lavender. It is significantly more expensive than our other two blends because most (not some, but almost all) of the ingredients in Deep Sleep are very costly. The retail and wholesale prices of Deep Sleep will vary throughout the year, depending on the price of the oils and the exchange rates in the countries where the plants are grown and the oils are distilled. If we save money by finding a less expensive source, you will save too.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Application from bottle: Store Deep Sleep in your bedroom closet, inside your night stand, in your medicine cabinet, or wherever it's readily available, as long as it's in a cool, dark place. With the plastic applicator touching the skin, use the bottle as you would a roll-on. Don't touch the oil. If you apply it properly, you won't have to get up afterward to wash your hands. Apply Deep Sleep to one side of the body in a circular motion, forming a 2" wide strip. Starting at the hip, continue down the thigh and calf, stopping at just above the ankle. Wait for a full 20 minutes. If you don't feel drowsy, repeat the process on the other side of the body.
Option #1: Place a washcloth, a clean old hand towel, and a small bowl half filled with water on your nightstand to wash your hands. Sitting on the edge of the bed, crossing one leg over the other, with your ankle resting on your thigh, so that the sole of the foot is facing upward, sprinkle 5 drops of Deep Sleep onto the sole. Drop the oil on gently; don't shake the bottle too hard, or you won't be able to count out the drops. Using the tips of the index and middle fingers of the hand you don't use for writing, cover the sole and toes with oil. Apply to the other foot. Let the oil to soak in for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not permit the feet to touch the floor. Rinse and wipe the fingers well. Wait for 10 to 20 minutes, or until you feel drowsy enough to get into bed. Place the towel on the bed to protect the sheets. Although it's always best to wash your hands with soap and water after each application, rinsing should suffice, as long as you don't touch your eyes or genitals before morning, or whenever you usually wash, since the oils may cause the delicate tissues to have a burning sensation. Refer the first aid / preventive measures below.
Option #2: If you have knee problems, or you can't sit up in bed comfortably without support, use a basin (metal is preferable) that's large enough to put both feet into. Fill the basin with enough warm water to cover the tops of both feet. Drop in the oil. Start with 5 drops (minimum) and increase to 20 drops (maximum). It's better to use too little than too much the first time. Soak the feet for 10 to 15 minutes; pat dry. We've been using this and the methods above to apply Deep Sleep for 15 years. If you are our customer, and you have an easier or better way of applying it, we'd love to hear from you.
Trial size vial: When testing Deep Sleep for the first time, it’s better to use too little than too much. Although the 1 ml trial size vial is probably not enough, since it's the first time you'll be using it, and since it will be a test to determine how much is right for you, apply half the vial directly to the skin and wait 15 to 20 minutes. If you still don’t feel relaxed enough to close your eyes, apply the rest of the vial. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water afterward. If you're still not ready for sleep, it may mean that more fragrance is required to help you enhance your mood of relaxation, and you probably need more Deep Sleep than is in the vial.
