NEW PRODUCT RELEASE
Total Hypnotherapy's pillow spray 🛌😴💤
Only $15 for a 100ml bottle 😲
Insomnia and sleep problems are something very close to my heart (as you'll soon see from the ridiculous length of this post and all the information provided), before discovering hypnotherapy I lived on almost zero sleep and was practically sleep walking everywhere and occasionally actually sleep walking. Hypnotherapy almost completely irradicated that issue for me, however there are still some nights that sleep feels elusive. I've tried all the sprays, tablets (even the prescription ones), potions and elixirs with varying degrees of success and side effects. Like many others I'm not the biggest fan of the traditional pure lavender scented sleep aids as I find it gives me a headache and doesn't smell pleasant (though I'm aware it does work wonderfully for some people). So instead of continuing down the same path with occasional bouts of insomnia and continuing to spend a lot of money trialing sleeping aids I decided to do something different about it.
I decided to make my own and it's purely magical! Each ingredient has its purpose and the oil blends just smell divine! I'll include some more information on each of the oils used below and their benefits as to why they were selected.
I put in a lot research in to which oils would fulfill my lengthy list of desired results as well as complimenting each other with their scents and purposes, it was incredibly important to me that this spray was good for your skin. I suffer with skin that is very sensitive to breakouts, dryness and oiliness (yes, I got the whole package 😂) this spray is designed to go directly on your pillow which touches your face all night so you definitely don't want any nasties in it! Not only does each ingredient have properties to assist with sleep but also with a huge range of skin problems. I'm not going to lie and say it's miraculously fixed all my skin problems but it certainly hasn't caused any whilst numerous previous products did and it's certainly been miraculous for my sleep!
Something else that was very important to me was price, sleep aids can be so expensive! I'm not going to mark these up exponentially, they are a wonderful product that also really compliments the services I provide. I want it to be accessible and affordable for everyone, this product is the result of years of sleep deprivation, hours and hours of research, trial and error that was done to benefit myself and now I'd like to share it with you. The amber spray bottles are larger than what you'd typically find a sleep spray in (the amber glass protects the oils from light/sun damage making them last much longer) which means that you won't need to constantly stock up, a single bottle will last a very long time!
So here are some initial reviews;
From myself "I really enjoy the scent, it's just such a shame I don't get to smell it for long before I'm out to it 😴 I've also found that I'm not waking up as frequently during the night and when I do wake up it doesn't take long to easily and comfortably drift off again"
my children fall asleep much faster when I use it for them and the reviews from them are;
7 year old "it's smells so so so so gooood and it makes my dreams happy"
10 year old "can I please use that spray every night? I fell asleep really quickly and felt really comfortable"
My partner really isn't enthused by natural remedies and oils however was willing to give it a try and has occasionally asked to use it when he's having trouble sleeping, I'll take that as a massive win!
From a client that noticed my personal bottle in my office "OMG you need to tell me as soon as you start selling these, it's exactly what I've been looking for!"
I know this post is lengthy so thank you for reading it, this is something that I am very passionate about and I have put a lot of time and effort in to. It's helped me and my family so much! I really can't wait to start sharing it!
