Slumber Essential Oil Blend Sleep Sticks For A Good Night’s Sleep
I’m always looking for ways to get a better night’s sleep, and Slumber Blend has been certainly been a big help in that regard. I have, in the past, used it to make my own sleep salve, but I was looking for a format that would be less disruptive to my early-to-bed, early-to-rise husband.
I’ve always been more of a night owl, so when I would climb in bed at night (or the wee hours of the morning), I would have to find the jar of salve, take the lid off, put it on, then replace the lid and put the jar back, which was a bit noisy and required turning the light on so I could see what I was doing. He didn’t complain about it, but I woke him up more than once (despite my best efforts).
As I considered how I might solve this dilemma, I remembered the post I wrote years ago about making “winter cheeks sticks“, and realized I had my solution right there! All I had to do was use Slumber blend in place of lavender oil, and I’d be able to make my own homemade sleep sticks that would be quick and easy to apply!
Here’s how to make them.
DIY Slumber Sticks: How To Make Your Own Sleep Sticks
You’ll need:
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil (or other carrier oil)
- 2 Tbsp beeswax pastilles
- 35 drops Slumber Essential Oil Blend
- Empty lip balm tubes
- Double boiler (or a pot and a metal/glass bowl)
- Measuring cup
Directions:
In the top of a double boiler, or in a glass or metal bowl suspended over a pot of simmering water, combine the coconut oil, liquid carrier oil, and beeswax. Stir occasionally until melted and combined, then remove from heat.
Add 35 drops of Slumber to the melted oil mixture and stir.
Pour the oil mixture into a measuring cup with a pour spot, then use it to carefully fill your empty lip balm tubes. Allow the oil mixture to solidify completely before using.
This recipe will fill about 20-25 small lip balm tubes. If you have any empty tubes left over afterward, you can use them to make homemade lip balm or stain treatment sticks! (Or, for a larger Slumber stick that covers more surface area, you could use an empty deodorant container rather than a lip balm tube.)
Once you have made your sticks, using them is easy — simply swipe a stick over the bottoms of your feet once you’ve climbed into bed, or while enjoying a cup of sleepy time tea. You’ll be off to sleep in no time!

“3 weeks ago I started using Slumber. I didn’t think it was making a difference until I forgot to turn the diffuser on one night. I won’t be making that mistake again! The oils helps me relax and fall asleep easily.”

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I didn’t know about EO use until August. Made a batch of Calming Salve to use with our rescue dog. It really helped so made a batch with Jeddy and Zen for my friend’s grandson. To show him how to use it she put it on her feet and was surprised that it helped lessen her foot pain. I’ve begun printing out everything you blog and making myself a reference file. I’m slowly getting the oils so I can make more salves to give to those I love. I have small bottles of Jeddy, Zen, Frankincense, and Shield and 1 oz. bottles of Lavender, Tea Tree, and Peppermint. I use Lavender everywhere (laundry, dog’s bath, the salve for my hands and face, and on cotton balls around the room).
Please log in or create a free account to comment.I am fairly new to essential oils but am learning new things all of the time… especially from this blog! My favorite thing to do with essential oils is making my own blends based on their therapeutic properties to use with holistic healing. Most recently I tried your remedy for UTI and am excited to say that it was the first time ever that I was able to get rid of it without the use of antibiotics! It takes a little longer, but the satisfaction I felt of doing it on my own and naturally was well worth it!

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I have used essential oils in the past year for lotions, lip balm and shower scrubs, but I have a new love of them through you and have started diffusing eucolyptus oil while I sleep to help with congetstion and cough. I have also made the healing salve and the Dream-y Sleep Salve.

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I am newer to essential oils. I have tried a few–lavender, lemon, peppermint, melaluca. I am loving the ones that I have and am impressed with the multi-functionality of all of the oils–internal (many), topical, external, diffused. I am not always certain what resources to consult for the combining of oils for particular purposes. I have utilized the expertise of the person who has sold the oils to me, on many occasions–emailing her with the particular “issue” or concern. She has been invaluable, but I would be interested in additional sources. It is a welcome change from the typical option of medications–to use the oils to help our bodies help/heal themselves. Looking forward to learning more and using many more oils in the future.
