A study as recent as July 2009 has shown that a linalool found in various essential oils such as lavender and lemon, alters gene and blood chemistry in ways that can reduce stress. This study appears in ACS Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. You can view the article for yourself at http://ihealthbulletin.com/blog/2009/07/22/linalool-aromatherapy-modulate-100-genes-reduce-stress/ and also here http://pubs.acs.org/stoken/presspac/presspac/full/10.1021/jf900420g?cookieSet=1
The study was conducted in Japan and resulted in “linalool returning stress-elevated levels of neutrophils and lymphocytes, two key parts of the immune system, to normal levels.” So take time to “Smell the roses”.
