Aromachology Sleep Essentials For People Who Can’t Fall Asleep

Your brain and body run on different clocks sometimes. Even when your muscles are tired, elevated cortisol and mental noise can keep your nervous system in alert mode. Frankincense is rich in terpenes that help lower that stress response, while supporting botanicals like lavender and clary sage ease tension so your brain can finally catch up with how tired your body actually is.

Somali Frankincense has been used for centuries in meditative and grounding traditions. It is rich in terpenes that help reduce cortisol levels and quiet mental noise, exactly the kind of overactivity that keeps you staring at the ceiling. At anatome, it leads our Overactive Mind sensory point oil, pillow spray, reed diffuser, and bath + shower oil, so you can layer the same calming scent across your entire wind-down routine.

You apply them to warm sensory points on your body, like your ears, neck, wrists, chest, and soles of the feet. The heat releases the botanical scent, which your brain processes as a calming signal. Frankincense is especially effective at grounding an overactive mind and easing you toward rest.

Both. Everything here is made with natural, non-habit-forming ingredients suitable for nightly use. If you have one bad night a week or five, the routine works the same way. For ongoing sleep issues, consistency with these products makes the biggest difference over time.

You can, and many of our customers do. A bath soak to start, a sensory oil on your sensory points, a pillow spray on your bed, a reed diffuser filling the room, and a few slow, deep breaths to finish. Layering these products creates a full wind-down ritual that covers your senses, your body, and your mind all at once.
