- In a 2018 in vivo, randomized single-blind controlled trial published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, researchers concluded that, “EO [Lavendar and Ylang Ylang] inhalation is effective in reducing the stress index, and that it effectively regulates the the hypothalamus to provide stable and relaxing conditions by creating balance in the sympathetic nervous system”.
