Does Massaging Feet With Lavender Oil Help In Getting Good Sleep?

I d like to try using drops of lavender oil in a lotion and massaged on my feet in order to get to sleep. Do you have any knowledge or suggestions. I m not stressed, I just get tired, go to bed, and lie there and rest. About 2 or 3 a.m. i fall asleep.

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you you have discovered the one of the important principles of good sleep hygiene. Any kind of massage will help you to relax and resulting in good night of sleep. Please follow the other principle of sleep hygiene like avoidance of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol, keeping comfortable mattress, going to bed after leaving the work out of mind and regular sleep schedule. I hope these things will help you to have he normal sleep.
