A mini-review on Insomnia management

Abstract

Insomnia, a prevalent sleep problem, poses a public health issue because of its potential to cause physical and mental fatigue; numerous psychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders and depression, have demonstrated a significant correlation with insomnia. In today's competitive and hectic environment, robust health and enhanced immunity are essential. Quality sleep can alter hormones, thereby increasing immunity. The ramifications of sleeplessness extend beyond ordinary deficits in concentration and focus. Symptoms may encompass blurred vision, pain, altered appetite, memory deficits, fatigue, poor motor function, and irritability. Insufficient sleep results in detrimental impacts on bodily systems. Insomnia can be managed by aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is the utilization of essential oils derived from aromatic plant extracts for therapeutic purposes. The French chemist René Maurice Gattefosse coined the term aromatherapy in 1910. Aromatherapy activates olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity, which transmit signals via the neurological system to the limbic system, a brain region responsible for regulating emotions. A health professional must adhere to all safety protocols regarding essential oils in aromatherapy.
