Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of plant essential oils. Specifically, it relates to a compound essential oil composition for promoting sleep and its preparation method. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the modern life rhythm, people are facing increasing work, study and life pressures, and sleep problems are becoming more and more common. According to relevant statistical data, about one-third of the global population has varying degrees of sleep disorders. Symptoms such as insomnia, dreaminess, and easy waking seriously affect people's physical and mental health and quality of life. Long-term lack of sleep will not only lead to problems such as fatigue, inattention, and memory decline, but may also trigger a series of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, depression, etc., bringing a heavy burden to individuals and society.

[0003] In the current technical field of improving sleep, various methods have exposed many problems. Although drug-based sleep aids can relieve sleep problems, they have significant side effects. Long-term use will make users develop dependence. Once discontinued, sleep problems often rebound or even worsen. At the same time, these drugs may also damage important organs such as the liver and kidneys, causing other health hazards. For example, some common sleep aids will interfere with the normal metabolic function of the human body, leading to an increased detoxification burden on the liver and a disorder of the kidney excretion function, which seriously threatens physical health in the long run.

[0004] Non-drug sleep improvement methods also have shortcomings. For example, psychotherapy improves sleep by changing the patient's mental state. However, the adjustment of psychological problems is a long process that requires patients to continuously invest a lot of time and energy, and has a high dependence on professional psychologists. For people who urgently need to quickly improve their sleep conditions, psychotherapy is difficult to achieve obvious effects in the short term. Physical therapies, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, etc., although relatively safe, are expensive in equipment, the treatment process is cumbersome, and require professional personnel to operate, making it difficult to popularize and apply. Moreover, their treatment effects also vary from person to person. Some patients do not show significant improvement in sleep after treatment, making it difficult to meet the public's demand for efficient sleep promotion.

[0005] As a natural functional ingredient, plant essential oils have received extensive attention in the field of improving sleep in recent years. Many plant essential oils have the effects of soothing the nerves and relaxing the body and mind. For example, lavender essential oil, its unique aroma can regulate the nervous system, relieve anxiety, and thus promote sleep. However, the effect of a single essential oil is often limited and difficult to comprehensively act on various factors causing sleep problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a compound essential oil composition for promoting sleep and its preparation method. This compound essential oil has the advantages of good sleep-promoting effect and diverse usage methods.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0009] Among them, true lavender essential oil is rich in linalyl acetate and linalool, which can effectively soothe the nerves, reduce the heart rate, and improve sleep quality; cedar bark essential oil contains cedrol, reduces cortisol, has the effects of calming the nerves and relieving anxiety, and can help reduce nighttime nervous tension; geranium essential oil has the effect of regulating emotions, can relieve stress, and helps improve the depth of sleep; Roman chamomile essential oil has high concentrations of bisabolol and chamazulene alcohol, has sedative and anti-anxiety effects, and can help relieve insomnia; German chamomile essential oil functions for deep relaxation and anti-anxiety; jasmine essential oil is rich in jasmonone, has a natural antidepressant effect, can increase the sense of security, and promotes deep sleep; Australian sandalwood essential oil functions to relax the brain and promote deep sleep.

[0010] Under the scientific ratio, the above essential oil composition forms an obvious sleep-promoting effect of 1 + 1 > 2 through the complementarity and synergy of different plant active ingredients, which is specifically manifested as follows:

[0011] 1. Multi-target sedation mechanism: Lavender essential oil, Roman chamomile essential oil, and German chamomile essential oil act synergistically on the GABA nervous system, and cedar bark essential oil and Australian sandalwood essential oil reduce the cortisol level and reduce nerve excitability, and jointly act in a superimposed manner from two aspects of central nervous relaxation and emotional stability to improve the sleep onset speed and depth.

[0012] 2. Emotion regulation enhancement mechanism: Geranium essential oil and jasmine essential oil are rich in linalool and jasmonone, which effectively improve the emotional comfort and sense of security, help relieve the pre-sleep anxiety state, and increase sleep stability.

[0013] 3. Deep sleep promotion mechanism: Santalol and jasmonone can jointly increase the alpha wave activity (relaxed brain wave) in the brain, which helps to quickly enter the deep sleep stage (NREM-3 stage).

[0014] On the other hand, this application provides a preparation method of a compound essential oil composition for promoting sleep, including the following steps:

[0015] S1: Select natural plant essential oils obtained through low-temperature distillation extraction. Use the standard of low-temperature distillation extraction for plant essential oils to ensure that the original plant fragrance is not damaged.

[0016] S2: Mix the above essential oils in an ultrasonic emulsifier according to a specified ratio to obtain a compound essential oil.

[0017] S3: Fill the obtained compound essential oil into a light-proof bottle and store it at low temperature. Use a brown glass bottle to store it in a low-temperature refrigerated environment, avoiding light and heat to ensure that the essential oil components maintain their original state.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The essential oil of this application uses true lavender essential oil, cedar bark essential oil, Roman chamomile essential oil, German chamomile essential oil, Australian sandalwood essential oil, geranium essential oil, and jasmine essential oil as raw materials and is scientifically formulated. It can enhance the relaxation effect of the nervous system and promote the secretion of melatonin, ultimately achieving the effect of promoting sleep. Through human sleep detection and physiological index detection, this application proves that this compound essential oil has an obvious effect on helping sleep.

[0020] 2. This application uses low-temperature extraction technology to extract natural essential oils from plants to ensure the integrity of active ingredients, and uses ultrasonic emulsification technology for mixing to promote the uniform distribution of oils and improve the bioavailability of various essential oils.

[0021] 3. The compound essential oil prepared in this application has various usage methods. It can form a complete sleep care plan by using the methods of fumigation, massage, and spraying. Through aromatic inhalation or skin penetration, it provides a rapid and lasting sedative effect. It can be used in scenarios such as personal home care, SPA, hotel sleep management, and medical sleep assistance programs, and is suitable for long-term sleep conditioning.
