Third eye balm, not designed for falling asleep, here is our formula joining a concrete side. Did you know that the pineal gland is also called the third eye? 1
Blue light is said to affect this gland, whose main function is to secrete melatonin. Here is an interesting quote from the book Femmes Essentielles by Aude Maillard, doctor of pharmacy: "The blue light from screens when they are used in the evening inhibits the secretions of melatonin and leads to a decrease in alertness in the morning upon waking. This hormone is synthesized via the pineal gland, also called the "third eye," when the brightness decreases, to initiate the sleep cycle. Light information is in fact transmitted by neurons equipped with photoreceptors via the eye, and more precisely via a photosensitive protein, melanopsin. This transmission of light information contributes largely to neuroendocrine balance and circadian day/night functioning." 2
In light of this quote, did you know that the oils included in our balm have relaxing and sedative properties? 3 Clary sage oil is said to promote calm at bedtime. Juniper helps you get back to sleep and calm down. Patchouli is said to reduce sleep disturbances, and Bergamot makes it easier to fall asleep. Try it at bedtime!
