The number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is expected to triple from now until 2050. Current drug treatment options do not slow or stop its progression and only treat symptoms.

A preclinical model of AD reported that inhaling lemon essential oil for one hour daily over the course of 30 days reduced cognitive dysfunction and improved memory. The oil increased synaptic density, synaptic plasticity, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and acetylcholine levels in the brain, all important for memory and cognition.

Menstrual pain is one of the most common complaints of women during their reproductive years. A survey of more than 400 young women found that 84.1% report menstrual pain, with 43.1% of them reporting pain during every period. Researchers found that applying a warm compress with peppermint essential oil significantly reduced menstrual pain in young women. The compress was made by adding 4 to 5 drops of peppermint essential oil to 500 mL of warm water then soaking a cotton, wool, or flannel cloth in the bowl. The cloth was wrung out and then placed over the supra p***c area, repeating the process when the cloth cooled down.

Nurses are the cornerstone of healthcare because they are on the frontlines of patient care. Operating room nurses are frequently exposed to high-stress situations that can increase stress and anxiety and potentially reduce job accuracy. A clinical study investigated the effects of inhaling rose essential oil on job stress/anxiety and accuracy among operating room nurses. Two drops of rose essential oil (40% dilution) were added to cotton and the nurses placed the cotton on their upper lip and inhaled for 10 minutes. The placebo group inhaled normal saline from cotton. Mean anxiety and stress scores significantly decreased and job accuracy significantly increased after inhaling the rose oil, when compared to the placebo group. The results suggest that inhalation of rose essential oil could significantly improve nurse job satisfaction and performance.

Copaiba is one of my very favorite essential oils with a plethora of benefits. One of things I love about copaiba is its ability to improve the absorption of other lipophilic (fat loving, like essential oils) substances through the skin. Two studies showed that copaiba enhances the pe*******on, retention, and activity of anti-inflammatory drugs. My experience is that using copaiba topically with other oils improves the pe*******on of the oils through the skin and therefore their efficacy. In this way, copaiba acts as a "synergizing" essential oil.

Having an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can cause significant stress and anxiety in mothers and fathers. A placebo-controlled clinical study evaluated the effects of inhaling rose essential oil with mothers of premature infants in the NICU. Mothers inhaled rose essential oil (diluted to 10%) for 5 to 10 minutes over ten consecutive nights. Anxiety significant reduced in the rose group when compared to the control (standard care only) suggesting that inhaling rose essential oil is an effective and noninvasive way to decrease stress/anxiety in mothers with children in the NICU.
