Aromatherapy for better sleep: a natural blend put to the test
NCT ID NCT07779382
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a topical roll-on and diffuser blend can improve sleep quality and duration in adults who have had sleep issues for the past month. Over six weeks, 40 participants will use the diffuser blend at night for three weeks, then switch to the roll-on applied to wrists, throat, and temples for the next three weeks. Sleep is tracked with a Fitbit and questionnaires, including a validated sleep quality score, to see if these natural products make a difference.
