Popis: The aim of the study was to assess presence and intensity of anxiety signs with and without aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is one of the best therapies in the world today, very appreciated for its relaxing effect on people. Many essential oils can be used for prevention and treatment of emotional distress. 20 patients were assessed by STAI questionnaire, once without using aromatherapie, and once while using aromatherapie with lavande essential oil. The results show a reduction of anxiety when using aromatherapie. The anxiety caused by the visit to dental office, when sitting in the waiting room, can be reduced by using aromatherapy. Proper use of essential oils shows a significantly positive improved mood.
