If you're like me and you find it really difficult to sleep and to unwind then aromatherapy and relaxation products might be the answer. I've been using these products, which were very kindly sent to me from Sulis and Thermae, both of which have been helping so much!
The all round favourite is the *Aromaworks Nurture Candle (£32, 30cl). The candle contains 100% organic essential oils as well as soy and beeswax. I have made everyone, friends and family, smell this candle and the reaction has been exactly the same - instant relaxation, followed by oohs and aahs. The candle has notes of May Chang, Sandalwood and Roman Chamomile, all of which combine to make the most relaxing, soothing candle ever made! The scent is strong but not over powering, it is so highly scented that you just need to open the lid of the box and it scents the air all around you. I also smell lavender in this candle, it's an incredibly relaxing scent.
The candle smells amazing when it's lit too, it's so relaxing! The throw is fantastic, it scents the whole room and then some. I am really impressed with the dispersion of the scent as well as the strength but it isn't too strong or cloying. The wax doesn't melt all the way to the sides of the glass which is the only negative point, in my opinion. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
I've also been testing the *Aromaworks Serenity Bath Oil (£34.50, 100ml) which comes beautifully packaged as does the candle. The bath oil is 100% natural and it contains organic ingredients such as evening primrose oil. The oil also contains lavender flower oil, may chang fruit oil, natural vitamin E, neroli oil and coconut oil. The bottle has a pump dispenser which is so handy especially as oils can be so messy. The instructions don't say how much to dispense and I definitely used too much the first time round but it did make the whole bathroom smell so lovely and relaxing. I find that after a bath I do always drift off to sleep much quicker. It doesn't produce bubbles or change the water as most of my other bath products do but it feels like such a luxurious and indulgent product to use. The bath oil left my skin so smooth and moisturised, I didn't need to use a lotion or body butter afterwards! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!
Overall, I'm so happy with both products and since using them on a fairly regular basis I have noticed that my sleeping pattern is better and I am able to drift off much quicker even when I've been nervous and stressed! I would 100% recommend both products and I would buy both products in the future although I would choose a smaller size of the candle as it is a little pricey.
