Article Excerpt:
"This is probably when you give up and pop a sleeping pill. But sleeping pills aren’t the best way to naturally fall asleep. Benzodiazepines, one of the most commonly prescribed sleeping pills, can not only be addictive, but can also cause a range of side effects from depression and dizziness to muscle weakness and impaired coordination.  

Luckily, German researchers think they’ve found an answer to helping promote sleep more naturally—and it could be just as effective as using a medically prescribed sleeping pill: a jasmine plant.   

In their study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, two fragrances of the jasmine plant have been found to be effective in promoting sleep: Vertacetal-coeur (VC) and the chemical variation (PI24513). These fragrances were found to use the same molecular mechanism of action some commonly prescribed pills, working to soothe you to sleep in the same way. 

In the study, a simple whiff of jasmine was also found to relieve anxiety and enhance our mood."
