To ensure a deep sleep, fill the sink with warm water before going to bed every night. Add five to ten drops of lavender oil, and splash the water on your face, the back of your neck, your wrists, elbows, stomach, knees, and ankles. Alternatively, you may shower and then take a hot soaking bath in a lavender tea. To make the tea, boil a quart of water. Remove from heat and add a half-cup lavender flowers. Steep for five minutes; then strain. Pour the lavender tea into a tub filled with hot water and enjoy.
