Need Sleep?
We’re going to give you the extended recipe, but in a pinch, you can leave out the ylang ylang and patchouli essential oils.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ylang ylang essential oil – one drop, patchouli essential oil – one drop, one drop of bergamot essential oil, and lavender essential oil – four drops. If you choose to leave out the ylang ylang and patchouli essential oils, increase the bergamot to three drops.
