Once again, necessity is the Mother of Invention at my house...
Many of you already know this but, the metabolic blend I shared on the Be Slimmer & Sassier post is my all time favorite sleep blend! It works for me and many others! However, one little problem popped up (or out) that begged to be dealt with and this is how Dream blend became a Salve...
First of all, let me introduce you to Dream...
Dream is actually a metabolic blend of Cinnamon Bark, Ginger, Peppermint, Lemon and Grapefruit.
Add a few drops to your water during the day and curb your appetite, rev your metabolism or...on your feet at night to SLEEP. Sounds weird I know, but let me explain. The EOs in this blend help balance blood sugar and calm adrenals thus allowing the body to drift into sleep mode when it's time.
DREAM BLEND
________________________________________
20 drops Cinnamon Bark
40 drops Ginger
40 drops Peppermint
40 drops Lemon
40 drops Grapefruit
Add to a 10ml roller bottle and apply liberally to the bottoms of feet and under toes before bedtime. In ten minutes or so you'll actually feel your body relaxing.
The problem that begged a solution is this: I normally keep this blend in a roller bottle for easy application as it's best applied on the bottom of your feet before bed. However, nothing will loosen a roller ball, metal or plastic faster than this blend! I have to handle the bottle so carefully, always keeping contact with my foot so the ball doesn't fall out, and I'm not all that flexible anymore! So I fixed it...by creating a Salve. Salve has become my duct tape, it just works :)
Without further adieu, here's my solution!
Add Dream blend to the basic All Purpose Healing Salve recipe ~ no more spills and you get soft feet! Please note: When making Dreamy~y Sleep Salve you'll use only the Dream Blend...using the basic Healing Salve recipe as the base.
Here's what I do...
I make a full recipe of Healing Salve (fills {5} 4oz jars) AND, a full recipe of Dream. If you're trying Dream for the first time, I would start by adding the Dream Blend to only ONE jar and fill the remaining 4 jars with Healing Salve EOs to gift or restock your supply.
The reason I make this suggestion is to allow you to ramp up your Dream-y Sleep Salve if needed with the remaining Dream Blend you've made. Personally, I make mine stronger but I recommend starting with a more mild version, you can stir in more if needed.

Follow the directions for All Purpose Healing Salve
Add 90 drops of Dream blend to one 4oz glass jar (jam jar).
Fill the remaining 4 jars with Healing Salve EOs ~ it's always good to have Healing Salve on hand!

The Dreamy CW Salve is made with Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, organic olive oil and beeswax and, 90 drops of PURE essential oil. Due to the high quality ingredients, the time it takes to blend oils and craft the salve it's difficult to keep the price point down. However, as many have commented, it's nice to try the product first before investing in all the ingredients, I understand this! So...
