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!

You don’t just have to take my word for it that Slumber will help you sleep better! Just check out these customer reviews:
“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.”

My daughter and I are new to EO’s. our first try was your healing salve. We loved it. Just ordered the Zen and Dream blend for us to make some Christmas gifts for friends.

I now regularly make the salves for my friends and for myself. My favorite it hard to pin point. There are so many! But I think the Headache Buster roll on blend and Jeddy’s are the bees knees!

I looked online to see if there was an essential oil that would help. I picked up some Peppermint oil and mixed it (just a couple drops) with a carrier oil and applied it to his chest. Within minutes the itchiness subsided!

Please log in or create a free account to comment.You and Rebecca introduced me to EOs not all that long ago. Since then, I have been using Lavender almost everytime I go to bed. Just yesterday, I made my very first batch of the healing salve, and they came out beautifully! Hubby and I applied some to our horribly chapped lips, and now they’re so soft. I can’t wait to use it on other skin irritants. In fact, I think I’m going to have to order more ingredients, because now I want to make a bunch of them for Christmas presents for the girls I wok with! Lol

Please log in or create a free account to comment.Hi Jillee, Love your blog! It’s the first I have experienced. I am dying to try the Dream Sleep blend as ever since the big “M” (menopause), I haven’t been able to sleep the way I used to (like a puppy!). Also, I am very interested in delving into essential oils to do things like ease my mom’s back pain and help my dad’s diabetes ailments. They are both 87 and could use a little assistance. Thanks for your great ideas–they inspire me! Carol

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I haven’t dipped my toes into making beauty products yet, but that is going to change. I wish I had followed through on this years ago. I’ve read about the value of aromatherapy a lot, and I want to change a number of things in my daily cleaning and beauty rituals. I’m really tired of all the bad products out there that cost an arm and a leg and that never do what they say they will. I’m ready for a total makeover. I’ve used lavender and tea tree oil for quite awhile. I think it’s time to add other essences to my life. :)
