Essential oils may help you sleep better if you're suffering from insomnia or other sleep problems. Essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, and other plant parts and have a distinct aroma.

According to one idea, inhaling essential oil molecules (or absorbing them via the skin) may activate brain chemicals that regulate sleep.

Certain essential oils may aid in relaxing and, as a result, better sleep.
