Epub 2016 Jun 27. PMID: 28053898 Abstract Title:  Aromatherapy with two essential oils from Satureja genre and mindfulness meditation to reduce anxiety in humans. Abstract:  The goal of this study was to verify whether association of aromatherapy with essential oils of Satureja brevicaly or Satureja boliviana and mindfulness meditation can reduce anxiety levels in humans. A randomized experimental trial was carried out with 108 participants who were divided into 6 groups, comprising a waiting list control group and five experimental groups. Aromatherapy was carried out by inhalation of essential oils while mindfulness intervention program was focused on&quot;flow meditation&quot;. The anxiety index was evaluated by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Measures were taken two times: pretest and posttest. State and Trait anxiety scores showed a decrease in posttest study phase in comparison with pretest in all experimental groups (p &lt; 0.005), especially in those where aromatherapy and mindfulness meditation were used together. All Cohen&#039;s d scores were over to 1 that means a large size effect in anxiety variable. Percentages of change showed reductions of anxiety variable ranging between 20% and 47%. All treatments used isolated or associated, may be considered alternative treatment options for anxiety. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/aromatherapy-and-mindfulness-meditation-used-together-may-be-considered-altern#comments Anxiety Essential Oils: Unspecified Anti-Anxiety Agents Aromatherapy Meditation Anti-Anxiety Agents Anxiety aromatherapy Essential Oils meditation mindfulness Satureja boliviana Satureja brevicaly Human Study Tue, 17 Jan 2017 22:02:12 +0000 greenmedinfo 142105 at https://greenmedinfo.com Why Social Isolation Leads to Inflammation https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/why-social-isolation-leads-inflammation <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2016<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Why Social Isolation Leads to Inflammation" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/lrossi/images/social-isolation(1).jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 314px;" title="Why Social Isolation Leads to Inflammation" /></p> <h2> Why Social Isolation Leads to Inflammation</h2> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><em>We are wired for community.
