Summary

This study looked at whether a quick, 5-minute session of smelling lavender could help lower stress and anxiety for people in the emergency department. 60 adult patients took part, with some smelling a lavender-scented tube and others an unscented tube. The main goal was to see if this simple approach was acceptable and easy to use, not to prove it works as a treatment.
