How do you guys use this? I just bought some in an essential-oil form. I hear it is beneficial for several reasons, insomnia being one of them.

" I think you sprinkle or drop alittle on both ends of your pillow so you can smell it if you sleep to one side of another. Also I heard you could buy ceramic rings that sit under or on top you light bulbs and you drop it on that and the heat emits the oil on the ring. Reta "

" I put about 12 drops in a little spray bottle with half olive oil and half water. Then I spray it on my hands and neck before going to bed. It's refreshing to breathe while trying to get to sleep. It's a natural moisturizer too. "
