Summary
For patients about to undergo surgery, high anxiety before anesthesia translates to high anxiety after patients wake up…and consequently, more pain. Christine Castillo-Chavez and other nurses at Marin Hospital led a study to measure the effect of inhaling essential oils on anxiety levels in pre-operative patients, with surprising results. Stress and anxiety don’t have to be the norm for patients…or for you. In numerous studies, essential oils have been shown to be anti-stress rockstars. Take matters into your own hands!  Â
