There are many Ayurvedic recommendations for getting a good night sleep. Ayurveda is a lifestyle, not a pill or a potion and it’s never a one fit all solution. Causes of poor sleep are classified as either vata or pitta in nature. Vata poor sleep is characterized by, light, fitful sleep habits - often waking up sporadically throughout the night; whereas, pitta poor sleep is characterized by difficulty falling asleep - a mind that will not stop. In both cases, however evening abhyanga (self massage) using the Sleep Easy formula made by Banyan Botanicals, as well as, melatonin a 1/2 an hour before bedtime, a sleep mask, plus lavender essential oil in an aromatherapy diffuser, are all recommended for either -or- any sleep condition.
