Pregnancy is a time of joy and excitement but can also be very physically and emotionally challenging—especially when it comes to new aches and pain that prevent a good night’s sleep. During this pregnancy I’ve experienced a lot of muscle soreness in my right hip, which led me to start researching what I could do for relief besides stretching and physical therapy. This is how I discovered 8 Sheep Organics, the company who created a groundbreaking organic body lotion to relieve pregnancy aches and pains. After struggling with insomnia during her own pregnancy and trying many unsuccessful remedies, the owner of 8 Sheep ultimately created this cream to relieve her aches. Her friends also tried and loved the cream, word spread, and eventually it became so popular that 8 Sheep Organics was born so anyone could purchase their own jar.
The key ingredient in the 8 Sheep Organics lotion is magnesium, which is known to help ease body aches and pains. While there are liquid forms of magnesium available on the market, research shows that applying magnesium topically can provide better absorption. This sleepy body lotion is advertised for pregnancy, but anyone with similar issues can benefit from using it.
Benefits from consistent use of Sleepy Body Lotion include:
- pain relief
- restless leg & cramp prevention
- relaxation
- moisturized skin
- peace of mind with safe & 100% organic ingredients
Although it’s labeled as a lotion, I find that this product has more of a cream consistency. The lavender scent is absolutely divine and smells so fresh; nothing artificial whatsoever. Honestly, even if I wasn’t pregnant, I would purchase this for the scent alone!
The key to achieving best results is to apply the lotion daily (directions state to apply 2-3 teaspoons of the cream to the affected area at bedtime). I keep the jar on my nightstand so I don’t forget to apply it each night. If you’ve been experiencing any of the same struggles with sleep or know any mamas-to-be who are, I highly recommend giving this a try.
