andblood pressure, andand took blood samples for analysisIt turns out that,neither lavender essential oil nor lemon essential oil were effective in pain relief But lemon essential oils can be a clear boost "This is probably the most systematic study in this field at the moment," said Janice Checolt-Glazer, an expert in psychiatry and psychology
