Reducing stress and reducing insomnia Tangerine essential oil is tested to have a stimulating effect on the brain. In a test among participants, it was observed breathing in tangerine oil can reduce the amount of alpha and beta wave power in the brain, suggesting a reduction in brain activity and sedative effects. It also reduces the sleep onset latency of the test participants, suggesting users can fall asleep earlier after breathing in tangerine essential oil and alleviating insomnia-like syndromes.
