I researched whether there is evidence that aromatherapy is effective in the treatment of anxiety. Based on clinical trials, it is proven that in general, scents like peppermint or lavender, are pleasant and can improve someone's mood, but there is no significant change in the levels of anxiety when being exposed to aromatherapy. I thought this was an important topic to research because anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions.
