Questions about Snoring Recipe

Hi Kyley, First let me say I thoroughly enjoy your site and all the recipes you give us!

I have these questions on the Stop Snoring Massage Oil Recipe -- being called a massage oil makes me think you are to use it for massage, but where exactly? On the face, throat, chest?

Also, should you massage right before bed, 30 minutes before, just sometime earlier in the day, or when? And would it be helpful if you just spread a few drops on your pillow or if you diffused it in the bedroom for awhile before bed, instead of using it as a massage oil?

I know lavender helps you relax, and Maggie Tisserand says in her book "Aromatherapy for Women" p. 23 that 'on the nights when she has used marjoram (for insomnia), she sleeps deeper than normal' and I like both of these essential oils. I'm a little concerned about the lemon and photosensitivity because I don't know how much or how often you use it will cause that.

But I'd like to give this recipe a try, so if you have a chance to comment on these questions, I'd appreciate it.

Answers for Snoring Recipe

Cindy, thanks for a great post! Those are excellent questions. Here's the answers to them...

You can massage the blend pretty much anywhere - I'd suggest concentrating on the belly, chest and neck for best anti-snoring results. If you don't have sensitive skin, you could also massage a tiny bit into your cheeks, chin and under your nose. Don't get it in your eyes!

I'm not sure of the answer to the timing question. I think you could use the blend anytime between 20 minutes before bed to just before lying down. It doesn't take long for essential oils to get to work! My best advice is to experiment with the timing and see what works best for you. And then let us know what you find out! :)

I wouldn't recommend dropping the blend on your pillows - it could stain them - but the diffuser idea is excellent. Just use the same number of essential oils (without the carrier oil, of course!) in your diffuser. Maybe start diffusing 15 minutes or so before going to bed.

The lemon essential oil is safe to use on skin at night. You really only have to worry about using any of the citrus oils on skin before going out into the sun. Photosensitivity doesn't build up over time or anything like that.

Thanks again Cindy for your excellent post. I hope this helped, and I hope you enjoy the recipe!
