“…Lavender has been reported to reduce anxiety by increasing the effects of inhibitory neurotransmitter c-aminobutyric acid in the amygdala, whereas clary oil reduces depression by activating dopamine pathways, suggesting that the effects of these two oils are due to their activation of neurotransmitters. 8,10,12 It was found that salivary cortisol concentration tended to decrease in the lavender and clary groups, but did not differ significantly when compared with the control group. Similarly, administration of 5% clary oil vapors to patients with gingivitis and to mice undergoing the forced swim test decreased corticosteroid concentrations, but the differences were not statistically significant.…”

“…11 Although lavender is less effective than benzodiazepines in a mouse anxiety model, it still has antianxiety effects in these animals. 12 Clary oil was found to alleviate stress and have antidepressive effects in a mouse model, effects manifested by activation of paths with dopamine characteristics. 8 In addition, inhalation of clary oil vapors for 20 minutes by patients with gingivitis was found to reduce the strain and stress of patients undergoing dental treatment.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inhalation of Salvia sclarea (clary sage; clary) or Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) essential oil vapors on autonomic nervous system activity in female patients with urinary incontinence undergoing urodynamic assessment. Study design, location, and subjects: This study was a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial carried out in 34 female patients with urinary incontinence. Outcome measure: The subjects were randomized to inhale lavender, clary, or almond (control) oil at concentrations of 5% (vol/vol) each. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and salivary cortisol were measured before and after inhalation of these odors for 60 minutes. Results: The clary oil group experienced a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure compared with the control ( p = 0.048) and lavender oil ( p = 0.026) groups, a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure compared with the lavender oil group ( p = 0.034) and a significant decrease in respiratory rate compared with the control group ( p < 0.001). In contrast, the lavender oil group tended to increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with the control group. Compared with the control group, inhalation of lavender oil ( p = 0.045) and clary oil ( p < 0.001) resulted in statistically significant reductions in respiratory rate. Conclusions: These results suggest that lavender oil inhalation may be inappropriate in lowering stress during urodynamic examinations, despite its antistress effects, while clary oil inhalation may be useful in inducing relaxation in female urinary incontinence patients undergoing urodynamic assessments.

“…(lavender) oil have shown that lavender essential oil has a diuretic effect [8]. Although lavender essential oil was less effective than benzodiazepines in mouse models of anxiety, lavender oil had an antianxiety effect [9]. Inhaled lavender oil has been shown to have relaxant effects on tracheal and ileal smooth muscles of guinea pigs and urinary bladder muscles of white mice, with their anticonvulsant activities involving cyclic AMP-dependent pathways [10].…”

Pain and urinary symptoms following colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery are frequent and carry a poor recovery. This study tested the effects of inhalation of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (lavender) oil or linalyl acetate on pain relief and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) following the removal of indwelling urinary catheters from patients after CRC surgery. This randomised control study recruited 66 subjects with indwelling urinary catheters after undergoing CRC surgery who later underwent catheter removal. Patients inhaled 1% lavender, 1% linalyl acetate, or vehicle (control group) for 20 minutes. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), heart rate, LUTS, and visual analog scales of pain magnitude and quality of life (QoL) regarding urinary symptoms were measured before and after inhalation. Systolic BP, diastolic BP, heart rate, LUTS, and QoL satisfaction with urinary symptoms were similar in the three groups. Significant differences in pain magnitude and urinary residual sense of indwelling catheters were observed among the three groups, with inhalation of linalyl acetate being significantly more effective than inhalation of lavender or vehicle. Inhalation of linalyl acetate is an effective nursing intervention to relieve pain and urinary residual sense of indwelling urinary catheters following their removal from patients who underwent CRC surgery.
