How to sleep better using essential oils?
Sleep is one of life's key aspect to improve your well-being both mentally and physically, so making sure you have sufficient should be a priority for you. Due to Covid19, working-from-home has become the norm. With more time spent at home, late night Netflix-ing, irregular eating hours, scrolling through TikTok, Instagram and online shopping late into the wee hours of the night, you are indirectly reducing your life expectancy and positive energy through getting less REM sleep. Thus it has become imperative to get some decent shut eye every night.
You know that you need to get a decent night's sleep, but changing your habits and lifestyle now is going to be more of a hassle and time-consuming endeavor. Which is why, using essential oils could be the fastest and most convenient solution to sleep faster and more deeply. Aromatherapy is not a new concept. We spritz perfume on our wrists during the day and use candles and diffusers to make our homes smell good... so smell should be an important part of our bedtime routines too.
So what are some scents you can consider to help you sleep faster and better?
Vanilla encourages relaxation and has been scientifically proven to steady your heart rate and reduce your blood pressure. Not only is it great for your sleep, it also smells delicious.
Lavender is known to have a soothing effect on the nervous system, which is helpful in treating stress. Lavender's calming, sleep-inducing properties make it a natural remedy for insomnia. Our essential oil-based sleep remedy would be effective for this issue.
Jasmine encourages you to have a deeper sleep, reducing the amount you move around during the night. The deeper you sleep, the more well rested you'll feel throughout the day.
Bergamot is a citrus fruit, but unlike other citrus oils that are known to be stimulating, bergamot has a calming effect. Studies have found that bergamot essential oil induces physiological changes, such as lowering heart rate and blood pressure that precede sleep.
Valerenic acid in valerian oil is known to inhibit the breakdown of the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps you sleep. It works on the principles of anti-anxiety medicines and promotes deep sleep.
As experts in the science of scent-ology and scent marketing, our perfumers have done their research and created a essential oil room spray which you simply spray into the air before bed to help you sleep soundly. What's in our magic formula you might ask.
In the room spray, the sharp, gray-blue unmistakable presence of lavender is the star. And it works well with the more shy rosemary to add an aromatic quality. A trickle of peppermint blends well with the mix to clear the airway so as to increase your brain's receptivity to the fragrance molecules, in turn triggering certain neuro-chemical pathways in your body and finally translating to faster and better quality sleep.
If you or anyone you know suffers from insufficient sleep which is affecting their quality of life and happiness, reach out to us and we hope our perfumer's essential oil remedy mix could help.
