Nidra - Neuroscientist Verified Sleep Candle
Details
Drift off and recharge your body.
Put your day and mind to rest. Our proprietary fragrance blend featuring jasmine essential oils can release melatonin, the hormone known as a catalyst for sleep. The presence of melatonin triggers the GABA neurotransmitters which produce a calming effect. As we fall into deep sleep, Delta brainwaves become predominantly active and promote restoration.
With its delicate, herbal, and fresh profile, Nidra is a purposeful aroma to light and unwind for a better night’s sleep.
Human:
Inhalation of jasmine essential oil has been associated with improved sleep quality and reductions in anxiety in human trials.¹ Studies report enhanced relaxation and parasympathetic activation, aligning with the body’s natural transition into rest.² Jasmine aroma has also been shown to influence melatonin secretion and GABAergic activity, both key pathways in the initiation of sleep.³ EEG recordings during jasmine exposure demonstrate increases in slow-wave (delta) brain activity, consistent with deep, restorative sleep.⁴
Preclinical:
Animal studies suggest jasmine’s key compounds (e.g., benzyl acetate, linalool) act on GABA receptors, the same inhibitory pathways targeted by many sleep-promoting medications.⁵ These effects support its traditional use as a sedative and align with emerging data showing increased melatonin release in the presence of floral volatiles.⁶
