Essential oils have a role in all types of medicine whether Integrative or Conventional ( Allopathic) More studies need to be done. Last year a study was published in March 2019 on the use of lavender on academic stress. This was a placebo controlled clinical trial on college students.
We do know that the academic stress of college and other institutions can affect affective cognitive function through many factors including disturbance in behavior, thinking and mood. This study was published in the HerbalGram by the American Botanical Council
Lavender oil has been shown to be very effective in stimulating cognitive function, helping relieving [pain and enhancing mood
In conclusion both placebo and lavender aromatherapy produced similar stress reducing effects. More studies need to be done as the dilution of the oil was very low and there were limited number of participants.
Until tomorrow…
