Why our sleep oils work
anatomē oils and aromachology (the study of how scents affect emotions and behavior) play a crucial role in promoting a good night's sleep because they leverage the power of essential oils to influence the nervous system. Here’s why they are effective:
1. Essential Oils Affect the Nervous System
Anatome uses scientifically backed essential oils that include lavender, chamomile, frankincense, and vetiver, which are known to interact with the limbic system (the brain’s emotional center) to reduce stress and induce relaxation.
2. Cortisol Reduction & Melatonin Boost
The essential oil formulations can lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels and help increase melatonin (sleep hormone) production, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
3. Deep Relaxation & Improved Sleep Quality
Scents like Roman Chamomile have sedative properties that calm the mind, slow down heart rate, and ease tension, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
4. Sleep Ritual & Habit Formation
Apply the anatomē sleep oils to the sensory points reates a consistent nighttime routine, signaling to the brain that it’s time to sleep. Allow one week before you see a change in your sleep quality.
Our founder talks aromachology
The right ingredients are the secret to anatomē's formulations. To harness the best of their properties, we only use botanicals from the best provenances, making the most of the high concentration of compounds to support your sleep. We also apply them separately to cater to different sleep challenges. Our powerful botanicals include Somali Frankincense, three types of lavender (Cornish, Himalayan, and Provençal), and Blue Roman chamomile—all chosen to promote the highest possible levels of relaxation.
