Summary

This study tested whether inhaling lavender essential oil can help reduce anxiety and pain in people with moderate to severe pain. 68 adults who had pain but no allergy to lavender took part. They either inhaled lavender oil or a placebo for 30 minutes, and their anxiety and pain levels were measured before and after. The goal was to see if a natural substance in lavender called linalool could act as an anxiety reliever.
