If stress keeps you from getting a good night's rest, try this little trick: rub a few drops of jasmine oil onto your wrists or temples 20 minutes before bedtime. Sniffing the calming aroma of jasmine works as well as valium to relieve anxiety and promote sleep. According to experts, the floral scent triggers the olfactory nerve to activate GABA receptors in areas of the brain responsible for the sleep-wake cycle, boosting their ability to receive sleep-inducing signals.
