Better Sleep Now featuring
Laboratoire Saint Côme
In our busy lives, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get good quality, undisturbed sleep. During the night, many
things call for our attention whether it’s work-related stress, children, financial worries, or technology distractions, such
as our phones. Lack of sleep is linked to many negative effects on our health including our mood, yet as many as one
in three of us suffer from poor sleep on a daily basis.
So how can we improve our health with better
sleep? First, you should assess what gets in
the way of good sleep. Update and improve
your routine progressively instead of making
drastic changes all in one go. Now that you’ve
adapted a couple of things in your evening
routine, you’re on track to getting some
decent sleep. And there’s one more thing that
can help you get there.
E
ver-popular aromatherapy
might be just the thing you
need to complete your new
routine. According to British
Aromatherapist Dinesh Kotecha,
aromatherapy is a complementary
therapy that uses essential oils to
improve both physical and emotional
wellbeing. These natural oils have
been used for thousands of years and
originate from a range of sources,
such as flowers, leaves, roots, seeds
and the bark of plants.
Essential oils are an important part of
our skincare routine and we often find
them in creams and serums that we
apply directly to our skin. What is
perhaps less known is that they can
also have an effect on us through the
sense of smell. Some studies suggest
that through the stimulation of our
olfactory system, smelling essential
oils can have a relaxing or even
stimulating effect. The use of essential
oils is particularly appreciated by
people with long-lasting pain, anxiety,
depression and insomnia.
Find out more about Laboratoire Saint Côme Aromasprays at their FitFest Oxford stand.
The French company Laboratoire
Saint Côme has long known the
positive effects of aromatherapy,
having been set-up by two pharmacists,
Christian and Claude Richard.
The brothers developed the natural
healthcare side of their pharmacy in
the 1980s following the increasing
demand for alternative methods to
feel healthier. After years of research,
they developed a range of Airborne
Aromatherapy products called
Aromasprays. These room sprays
deodorise and purify the atmosphere
with aromatic notes, which can
positively affect your mood.
Whether you choose to
use Aromasprays at
home, at work or in the
car, you stand a greater
chance of feeling
the effects with Laboratoire Saint
Côme products, thanks to the use of
100% pure and natural premium-grade
Essential Oils. Each Aroma spray
combines a minimum of two essential
oils and has specific properties, which
can be soothing, invigorating or
refreshing. To help achieve better
sleep, the Pillow Mist has been
specifically formulated with nine
essential oils: Roman Chamomile,
Neroli, Geranium, Lavender, Lemongrass,
Mandarin, Marjoram, Sweet
Orange and Ylang Ylang. It’s
designed to promote restorative
sleep, allowing for a harmonious good
night’s rest. The perfect companion to
introduce in your environment for a
better rest in 2019.
You can meet the Saint Come
UK team at FitFest Oxford in June.
