Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy uses essential oil scents to create calming effects. Though this technique can’t cure insomnia or the underlying causes, it would allow for relaxation and make you fall asleep easier. Some common types of essential oils used in aromatherapy include sandalwood, lemon, bergamot, orange, rose, or lavender. They would stimulate your brain cells’ activity as the way several sedative drugs work. Have an aromatherapy session around 30 minutes before sleeping to get the best results. [7]
