Sweet Dreams Naturopatch Sleep Aid |
ON A GOOD NIGHT, sleep sneaks in and drifts across consciousness in a gentle wave. Other times, it can be maddeningly elusive, staying just out of reach of a tired mind until it's long overdue. Blame that last horror novel chapter, the simmering aggravation of a traffic ticket, worrisome last minute business proposals or that last stop at the espresso bar.
The idea that herbs can help one fall asleep or stay asleep is not just folklore. Scientists have experimented successfully with lavender and various essential oils to induce drowsiness, and aromatherapists have explored the role of fragrance in bringing about significant physiological and emotional effects. Because olfactory neurons are connected directly to the brain, simply inhaling a scent can stimulate the release of hormones that generate a range of feelings and responses; they can calm fear or anger, relieve stress or pain, and yes, bring on sleep.
Naturopatch has used scents that are associate with pleasure including:
Lavender: its sedative effects has pleasant associations for many people, and some say it can dispel headaches.
Chamomile: is reputed to discourage nightmares.
Jasmine: the true aphrodisiac, will calm and soothe night grievances.
