Malte Hozzel博士,Oshadhi品牌创始人。德国海登堡大学博士,药用植物学家、调香艺术大师、诗人、冥想大师。

荷索博士自1971年起致力于芳香植物和精油的研究,一直用植物精油来修复人体功能并追求身心灵的和谐。为了追求高品质精油,他走遍五大洲寻找植物的优质栖息地,并于1990年在德国巴登巴登创立了Oshadhi品牌。

两个配方思路

配方1:

这个配方以不同方式缓解失眠,以强大的舒缓特质作用于中枢神经系统,与此同时又可放松肌肉,并从精神、情绪等层面帮助身体排毒。

真正薰衣草主要作用于中枢神经系统,是治疗失眠、精神激动、神经质、头痛、抑郁和焦虑的精油,它可在大脑皮层产生与深度放松有关的α波。

马郁兰具强大的舒缓、镇静特质,为整个配方提供支持的力量来对抗各种神经-心理问题,如神经衰弱、焦虑、强迫、精神病发作等,以及各种与压力有关的躁动或神经质。

龙艾具强力抗痉挛功效,它可舒缓能量,打开太阳神经丛,那里是恐惧和紧张的中心(著名的“胃结”),并有助于消化情绪,让身体和心灵之间更好的流动。

甜罗勒具神经调节特性,可缓解乏力、神经紊乱及压力、焦虑。

柠檬马鞭草因含醛类而充满了太阳的能量,能对抗忧郁情绪、冷漠、抑郁等。舒缓精神上的不安、集中精力,让我们能够同时放松和坚持,这是“宁静警觉”不可或缺的,也就是所谓的第四种意识形态,与深度放松有关。

格陵兰喇叭茶是重要的肝、肾解毒剂,也可用于处理失眠和神经质。

印度缬草具有柔和的滋补和放松功效。

香蜂草因其高太阳频率作用于松果体,可同时镇静和提振,赶走忧郁及不和谐,让思想和心理在高我上和谐统一。

睡前滴几滴在脚底、前额、胸腔及肘部静脉处。

基础油:

甜杏仁油:

适合所有肌肤,缓解干燥及发炎

橄榄油:

舒缓、强韧发炎的肌肤

芝麻油:

适合所有肌肤,滋养、柔软肌肤

配方2:

下面的配方是直接针对失眠问题。它们可与对抗疗法的药物如安眠药并用,若定期使用,可减少安眠药的用量或替代安眠药。

来自尼泊尔的穗甘松是一种古老的阿育吠陀植物,自古以来就被用于舒缓过度活跃的大脑。它也是很好的植物神经系统平衡剂,能消除恐惧,且有益于心脏。

苦橙叶精油来自苦橙的叶片,是强效的镇静剂,它可抗痉挛及平衡中枢神经系统。

和苦橙叶一样,橘叶也是强效镇静剂,也可抗痉挛及平衡中枢神经系统。

完全依兰能减少精神和情绪冲动,减轻心理压力。在配方中,它同时提升和平静心灵。独特的异国花香调带来愉悦的气味,驱走忧伤和抑郁,并可降低血压。

欧白芷根是传统的药草,因其镇静和抗焦虑的能力在欧洲民间被广泛使用。它对神经系统的局部作用已得到证实。欧白芷根帮助消化潜在的负面情绪,是对抗焦虑和肠胃痉挛的常用精油之一。

缬草与穗甘松属同一家族,以其强大的镇静特质而著称,它自古就被用于镇静中枢神经系统,为良好睡眠带来身心所需的平静。

芹菜籽油是良好的神经系统滋养剂,有助于镇静神经。

橙花是从苦橙树花瓣萃取的珍贵精油,对伴随恐惧和负面情绪的抑郁状态具有深远的影响,它也是一款滋养神经系统的精油。

睡前滴几滴在脚底、前额、胸腔及肘部静脉处。

甜杏仁油:

适合所有肌肤,缓解干燥及发炎

橄榄油:

处理肌肉酸痛及神经系统问题

一些源自个人失眠经历的建议

·睡前1-2小时不讨论,不看电视,不阅读情感或智力相关内容;

·不要强迫自己入睡,让睡眠自然发生,学习冥想。旁边放一盏LED灯,躺在床上阅读文学方面的书籍(最好是精神层面的);

·留意你的体内酸碱值和血压;

·清淡饮食,晚上不吃肉、不吃根茎类蔬菜或蘑菇;

·服用含不饱和脂肪酸的植物油及藻类产品;

·早晚用具舒缓效果的芳香精油按摩4-5分钟(特别是含倍半萜烯和倍半萜醇类);

·西药:褪黑素1-3片或5ml,睡前30分钟服用,绝不可服用苯二氮卓片!

·芳香疗法:茉莉、缬草、橘叶、橙花、苦橙叶、快乐鼠尾草、马郁兰、蛇麻草、薰衣草、檀香、甜罗勒、龙艾、依兰、格陵兰兰喇叭茶、柠檬马鞭草、罗文莎叶……

·最好的方法:每次使用不同的精油或不同的配方,如有需要也可口服,每天2滴精油加到蜂蜜中;

·也可将精油滴在枕头或手帕上;

·或以基础油稀释到3-5%的浓度全身按摩(百香果尤其适合晚上)。

其它科学研究

茉莉和薰衣草

“2002年的研究证实了芳香疗法专家们长期以来的坚持的信念,即茉莉精油具强烈的放松特质,能有效促进睡眠。美国西弗吉尼亚惠灵耶稣会大学的研究员Bryan Raudenbush博士发现,晚上睡在充满茉莉花香的房间里的人比在薰衣草味房间的或没有香味房间的人似乎睡得更安稳,且下午的警觉性更高……尽管大家的睡眠时间相同,处于茉莉环境中的人醒来后没那么焦虑。” 

穗甘松

“植物有通过平衡体内的生化反应来减轻压力、焦虑、紧张的能力。保持头脑冷静和身体健康是一件好事,油是保持年轻化最佳滋补品之一,它能促进睡眠,对处于压力环境中的人也有好处。”

橙花、薰衣草、依兰、马郁兰

——关于睡眠问题和高血压(通常是导致失眠的原因)

2013年发表在《循证医学补充和替代医学》上的一项研究发现,含有橙花精油的芳疗配方能够减轻重症监护病房的冠状动脉成形术患者的焦虑问题并改善睡眠问题。据2012年4月发表在《循证医学补充和替代医学》的研究,橙花精油能控制血压,4-83名高血压或高血压前期患者或吸入安慰剂香气或吸入包含橙花、薰衣草、依兰、马郁兰的精油24小时。结果显示,分配到吸入芳香精油组的患者血压及应激激素皮质醇的水平均显着下降。 

最后几点提示

·芳香按摩优于普通按摩,精油能穿透肌肤直达体内;

·长期使用芳香按摩可改善睡眠质量深度放松,是一流的神经生理放松疗法;

·芳香按摩活跃了被阻塞的能量,活化了身体隐藏的潜能;

·芳香按摩可显著减轻压力;

·芳香按摩可促进血液循环,减轻经前症候群导致的神经紧张和缺乏自信;

·芳香按摩是影响和净化能量的直接方式。

最后,祝你有个平和安宁的夜晚,大自然在关注着我们美好的生活!

Two possible blends which give some hints

BLEND NO. 1

This insomnia synergy acts in various ways on the problems accompanying or causing sleeplessness. It targets the central nervous system with powerful soothing agents, but at the same time bestows tonus and helps detoxifying the physiology from mental, emotional and psychological 'trash’. 

TRUE LAVENDER oil mainly works on the central nervous system making it a choice oil for problems like insomnia, mental agitation, nervousness, headache, depression, and anxiety. It helps building up alpha-waves in the cortex, associated with deep relaxation.

MARJORAM oil has a known powerful soothing, tranquilizing energy. It gives this blend an uncompromising agent to fight diverse neuro-psychological problems such as neurasthenia, anxiety, obsessions, psychotic upsurge etc. as well as all kinds of stress related agitation or nervousness. 

TARRAGON is a strong neuro-muscular anti-spasmodic. Its soothing energy helps opening the solar plexus, where fears and tensions are accumulating (the famous 'knot in the stomach’) and  makes it easier to 'digest’ emotions, opening up the flow between body and mind.

SWEET BASIL’S neuro-regulating properties make it a choice oil against asthenia, nervous disorders of all kinds, stress and anxiety.

VERBENA bestows the high solar energies of the aldehyde group, making it a choice oil against gloomy moods, apathy and depression. It soothes mental agitation and yet builds up concentration power in the mind, enabling us to let loose and cling on at the same time, indispensable for 'restful alertness’, the so called 4th state of consciousness, associated with profound relaxation.   

LEDUM GROENLANDICUM is major hepatic and kidney detoxifier, but also used in cases of insomnia and nervousness.

VALERIAN WALLICHII is a soft tonifying and soothing agent.

LEMON BALM, with its high solar frequencies acting on the pineal gland, is calming and invigorating simultaneously. It chases away melancholy and disharmonious feelings, reconciling the mind and the psyche with our higher Self.

A few drops to rub on the soles, the forehead, the chest and into the elbow vein  before sleep.

With carrier oils:

Sweet almond oil
All skin types, against dryness, inflammation

Olive oil
Soothing, strengthening, inflamed skin 

Sesame oil
All skin types, nourishing, softening – as base

St. John’s Wort oil
Sore muscles and for nervous conditions

BLEND NO. 2

The ingredients of this Insomnia synergy have been chosen for their direct approach to the problem of insomnia. They can, without any problems, accompany an allopathic medication with sleeping pills and – if applied regularly – reduce or even replace the same medication in a more natural way. 

SPIKENARD from Nepal is an old Ayurvedic plant used since ages for soothing overagitated cerebral activity. It is an excellent neurovegetative harmonizer, neutralizes fears and is a also very helpful for the heart.

PETITGRAIN BIGARADE from the leaves of the Bitter Orange tree serves as a powerful tranquilizer. It also has anti-spasmodic effects and acts in a balancing way on the central nervous system.

PETITGRAIN MANDARIN, a powerful tranquilizer. Just as PETITGRAIN BIGARADE it has anti-spasmodic effects and acts in a balancing way on the central nervous system.

YLANG YLANG (complete distillation) reduces mental and emotional agitation and psychological stress. It bestows tonus to this synergy and at the same time opens and uplifts the mind and calms the heart. Its exotic floral fragrance makes it a 'joyous’ oil able to chase away sadness and depressed feelings – and it has interesting effects on hypertension.

ANGELICA ROOT is an ancient healer, used in folk medicine of Europe for its sedative and anxiolytic capacity. It has a proven localized action on the nervous system. Angelica helps 'digest’ hidden negative emotions, making it one of the choice oils against anxieties and abdominal spasms.

VALERIAN, stemming from the same family as Spikenard and famous for its powerful sedating effects,  it is used since old to calm the central nervous system, inducing the psycho-somatic tranquillity necessary for sound sleep.

CELERY SEED oil is an aromatic tonifier for the nerves and helps sedate a restless mind.

NEROLI, precious oil from the flowers of the Bitter Orange tree, has a profound effect on depressed states of mind accompanied by fear and negative emotions. It is also a choice oil for tonifying the nervous system.

A few drops to rub on the soles, the forehead, the chest and into the elbow vein.

With carrier oils:

Sweet almond oil
All skin types, against dryness, inflammation

Olive oil
Soothing, strengthening, inflamed skin 

Sesame oil
All skin types, nourishing, softening – as base

St. John’s Wort oil
Sore muscles and for nervous conditions

And here some personal advice from my own experience with a burn-out kind of insomnia I experienced long ago…

Naturally: No discussions, no TV or emotional-intellectual reading 1-2 hours before sleeping

Do not force sleeping, let it happen, learn meditation, read light literature (best: spiritual) while lying in bed with a filtered LED lamp

Check your pH level and your blood pressure

Eat light dinner – no meat, no root vegetables or mushrooms in the evening

Use omega oils and algae products 

Practice aroma-massage (4 – 5 minutes) morning and evening with soothing essential oils (esp. Sesquiterpene- and Sesquiterpenol oils)

Ayurveda:
Maharishi Ayurveda MA 1401 –  2 Tablets 30 minutes before sleep, also Maharishi Ayurveda 'Nidra’ is very good – 1-2 Tablets,
Maharishi Ayurveda 686 – (Ashwagandha) – 1-2 Tablets,
Sumenta 1-2  Tablets

Western medicine: Melatonin – 1 Tablet 3 or 5 mg – 30 minutes before sleeping – in no case Benzo-Diazepine pills!

Aromatherapy: Jatamansi, Valerian, Petitgrain Mandarin, Neroli, Petitgrain bigarade, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Hops, Lavender, Sandalwood, Sweet Basil, Tarragon, Ylang Ylang, Ledum, Verbena, Ravintsara…

Best: Try out different oils yourself, also in blends… Can be taken also orally – 2 drops 2x/day in honey

They can be taken as pillow spray or on a cotton handkerchief to put near the head

They can be used as full body massage oil with 3-5 % essential oils in a carrier oil (i.e. Maracuya Oil = super for the night)

A few more recipes

Recipe for kids:

Olfaction:

HE Ravintsara: 5ml

HE Mandarine: 10ml

Spread the mixture 10 to 15 minutes per hour to benefit from the sedative action of the mixture.

Or Dermal:

HE Ravintsara: 2ml

HE Pin Patagonia: 1ml

Marjolaine HE shells: 1ml

HE Roman Chamomile 2ml

Hazel HV: 3ml 

Transcutol: additional 15ml

Apply 3 to 4 drops of the mixture on the solar plexus, or on the arch, on the inner wrist, or along the spinal column (from Pharmacist D. Baudoux)

Insomnia in pregnant women

Difficulty falling asleep and waking up at night due to various stresses and morphological changes caused by pregnancy.

Neroli: 0.5ml

Bergamot: 1ml

Roman Chamomile: 1ml

Carrier oil Hazelnut: supplement to 15ml

Three drops under the tongue 1/2 hour before bedtime (from Pharmacist D. Baudoux)

And here some scientific research 

On Jasmine and Lavender 

“Research in 2002 helped to confirm the long held belief of aromatherapists that Jasmine oil is a powerful relaxant that works as an effective aid to promoting restful sleep. The researcher, Dr Bryan Raudenbush (…) at the Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, USA, found that people who slept in rooms fragranced with Jasmine appeared to sleep more peacefully and report higher afternoon alertness than when spending the night in a Lavender-scented room, or one with no added fragrance at all… Although people slept the same amount each night, those exposed to Jasmine reported feeling less anxiety when they woke up.” 

On Spikenard oil (Jatamansi) 

“The plant has the power to reduce stress, anxiety and tension by balancing biochemical reactions in the body. It is good to have the mind cool and healthy and the oil acts as one of the finest mind rejuvenator tonic. It facilitates sound sleeping thus good for those who have a stressful life.” 

Cf. http://www./health/

On Neroli, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram– On sleep problems and high blood pressure (often a cause of isomnia) 

“In a 2013 study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, an aromatherapy blend containing Neroli essential oil was found to reduce anxiety and alleviate sleep problems in a group of coronary angioplasty patients in an intensive care unit… Neroli essential oil may aid in blood pressure control, according to a study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2012.4… 83 people with high blood pressure or prehypertension inhaled the aroma of either a placebo fragrance or an aromatherapy blend containing Neroli, Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Marjoram essential oils for 24 hours. Results revealed that those assigned to the aromatherapy blend experienced a significant decrease in blood pressure, as well as in levels of the stress hormone cortisol.” 

And last but not least a few more points on Aroma Massage – a great helper for insomnia

Aroma-massage is more profound than normal massage: Essential oils have a high penetrability through the skin and can be traced within minutes in our organism.

A good aroma-massage improves on a long term basis the quality of our sleep and the degree of relaxation. It is a first class neuro-physiological relaxation therapy.

Aroma-massage enlivens blocked energies and mobilizes hidden reserves.

Aroma-massage leads to marked decrease of stress.

Aroma-massage improves bad circulation and decreases nervous tension and lack of self-confidence in women with PMS.

Aroma-massage is a direct way to influence and purify our auric energy.

Wish you great success! Have a peaceful and good night! Nature is watching on us for a happier life!
