Lavender Essential Oil-based Product System for Sleep

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether lavender essential oil-based product system can affect gene expression, serum protein markers, and sleep quality in healthy volunteers. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Does the lavender essential oil-based product system affect gene expression and protein markers as measured in blood?
* Does the lavender essential oil-based product system affect subjective quality of life and sleep assessments?
* Is daily use of the product system safe, as measured by laboratory tests and adverse events?

The lavender essential oil-based product system contains three components: an essential oil blend, a topical stick, and a dietary supplement.

Participants will:

* Receive a fitness tracker to monitor their sleep and physical activity.
* Use the lavender essential oil-based product system for six weeks total according to this schedule:
* 1 week: Essential oil blend
* 1 week: Essential oil blend + topical stick
* 4 weeks: Essential oil blend + topical stick + dietary supplement
* Attend two study visits in which they provide blood and urine samples, and complete subjective sleep and quality of life assessments
* Complete weekly subjective sleep assessments from home

This single-blind study will recruit healthy men and women to compare gene expression profile and serum protein markers before and after consumption of sleep system products for 6 weeks. Quality of life and sleep quality will be assessed using subjective surveys and questionnaires. Safety markers (liver and kidney function, hematology, urinalysis, and adverse events) will be collected.
