Effects of Lavender Oil on Mood

"Assess anxiety by hospital anxiety depression scale survey~This 14-component scoring system is used to tabulate a total sum score (0-42) or separate anxiety and depression scores (0-21). A higher score represents a more severe degree of anxiety and/or depression. The severity of a patient's anxiety or depression may then be grouped into three categories based on the score (Normal, 0-7; Borderline abnormal, 8-10; Abnormal 11-21)." (NCT03093454)
