IntroductionAromatherapy is defined as the therapeutic use of scented liquids to improve mental and physical health (Lua & Zakaria, 2012). These therapeutic oils are obtained by distilling or steaming plants (Lua & Zakaria, 2012). Some various uses of aromatherapy include healing, sedative, antibacterial, analgesic, calming, and stimulating effects (Lua & Zakaria, 2012). Aromatherapy claims to have its roots in India and ancient Egypt (Lua & Zakaria, 2012). Studies showing that the use of oils, such as lavender, can be used to control symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and pain in patients with postoperative events (Kim, Kim, Yeo, Hong, Lee, & Jeon, 2011). Essential oils provide people with relief from fatigue and allow them to have a better mood and overall better mental and physical health (Takeda, Tsujuta, Kaya, Takemura, & Oku, 2008). This study will be conducted using the olfactory system, testing multiple essential oils. The most effective way to relieve stress and anxiety is through central nervous system stimulation, which can be produced through the olfactory system (Takeda et al., 2008). Stimulation of the olfactory system produces “pleasant” and “unpleasant” emotions by bringing about a change in the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system producing central commands (Takeda et al., 2008). The purpose of this study is to test the theory that essential oils elicit a positive response through the use of olfactory stimulation. The use of essential oils, especially lavender, clary sage, and bergamot, can be beneficial for people who lead high-stress lifestyles, especially nursing school students.
