Do Aromatherapy Eye Masks Really Work?
If you are female there is a pretty good chance you have used some kind of eye mask at one point in your lifetime, but have you ever used an aromatherapy eye mask? While many of us think aromatherapy is best suited for a bath or spa day, it is also beneficial when it comes to creating an eye mask that can possibly even help you sleep better at night.
What is an Aromatherapy Eye Mask?
An eye mask is a natural and safe device that is worn over the eyes. Often referred to as a sleep mask, an eye mask is effective at helping us sleep better at night by blocking unwanted light.
There are several different types of eye masks available, and each of them are relatively inexpensive. They can benefit the person wearing them in a few different ways including; clearing sinuses, calming the mind and body, blocking out any light.
Benefits of Aromatherapy Eye Masks
Aromatherapy eye masks are very beneficial to those that work the night shift and need to catch their sleep in the daytime. An aromatherapy eye mask is typically contoured to fit the curves of the face, so it falls perfectly across the eyes.
It is also usually made with a soft and breathable material, so it stays cool and does not weigh down your face or cause discomfort.
When you combine the relaxing and soothing benefits of aromatherapy with the comfort of an eye mask, you will surely have no choice but to fall into a deep sleep.
Do They Aromatherapy Eye Masks Work?
We already know aromatherapy works to help us treat a variety of different things. Aromatherapy eye masks take this therapy a step further and come equipped with a small sachet where you put 3-4 drops of oil and insert it into the mask. You get all the benefits of blocking out the light, while also being able to breathe in the calming and stress-reducing scents you love.
If you are looking for a more restful night sleep you may consider trying chamomile and lavender essential oil for soothing combination. Together, they can relieve any anxiety you may be feeling and even help you overcome insomnia on those nights that are impossible to sleep.
Another beneficial combination is lavender and rose geranium. This combination can help strengthen the nervous system, relieve anxiety, and help with depression.
Lemon essential oil with lavender also offers amazing tranquilizing properties which are good for treating insomnia and helping you achieve a relaxing and restful night sleep.
Bottom Line
To know if aromatherapy eye masks really work, you will just have to take the leap and try it for yourself. Find the scent combination you love and use the eye mask for a few nights to see if you were able to rid yourself of any stress and anxiety and sleep longer and better.
For a more balanced aromatherapy experience, you can also place a few drops of your favorite essential oil into your nebulizing diffuser.
If you wake up refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on your day, then aromatherapy eye masks may be the long-term and positive solution you need for a safer, healthier, and more natural approach to better sleep.
