Clary Sage Essential Oil Reduces Stress

Previous studies have reported that lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil promotes muscle relaxation and attenuates anxiety in vivo. Linalool, a compound found in lavender, is reported to modulate signaling upstream of muscle movement. In addition, clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil has been shown to attenuate both depression and stress either in vivo or clinically. This double-blind, randomized, controlled trial investigated the potential effects of the inhalation of lavender, clary sage, or almond oil (control) on stress alleviation in women undergoing urodynamic assessment.
