A clinical trial explored how lavender EO blends can help reduce depression, anxiety, and stress among elderly individuals. Over 30 days, participants applied and inhaled different lavender-based oil blends each night.

Group A: Lavender oil, clary sage oil, almond oil, sandalwood oil, ylang-ylang oil, chamomile oil.
Group B: Lavender oil, chamomile oil, malkangani oil, almond oil, lemon oil, rukhas oil, brahmi oil, shankhpushpi oil, mandukaparni oil.
Group C: Ylang-ylang oil, rose oil, sandalwood oil, basil oil, lavender oil.
Group D: Almond oil, orange oil, clary sage oil, lavender oil, patchouli oil, frankincense oil.
Group E: Coconut oil, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, lavender oil.
Group F: Lavender oil, ylang-ylang oil, orange oil, rose oil.
Group G: Control--distilled water only.

The results were striking—all oil groups improved, but the blend containing lavender, clary sage, patchouli, frankincense, and orange oils (Group D) produced the strongest effect. In contrast, those using only distilled water showed no change. The researchers concluded that inhalation aromatherapy with lavender blends offers a simple, safe, and culturally fitting way to support mental well-being in older adults, especially where access to traditional healthcare is limited. In plain terms, a little nightly use of the right essential oil blend helped calm minds, lift moods, and ease stress.

Want to live life to the fullest with fewer limitations as you age? A preclinical model found that ingesting lavender essential oil promotes a healthy lifespan (healthspan), partly by maintaining a healthy inflammatory response when ingested. Inflammation and blood sugar control are two of the most important factors for a healthy lifespan.

Post-operative delirium (POD) in older individuals is an acute, fluctuating disturbance in attention and cognition that often develops shortly after surgery and anesthesia. It's characterized by problems with focus, awareness, and thinking, which can range from hypoactive (quiet and withdrawn) to hyperactive (agitated and confused) states, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality in this population. POD is quite common, affecting an estimated 10% to 50% of older adults following major surgery, depending on the patient's health status, the complexity of the procedure, and the specific assessment methods used.

A randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the effects of inhaling peppermint EO on POD in older adults after surgery. The peppermint group inhaled one drop from a cotton pad soaked with 2 mL of 2% peppermint EO that was placed near his or her nose for 10 minutes the night before the surgery, prior to receiving anesthesia, and while in the post-anesthesia care unit. The control group inhaled saline from a cotton pad in the same manner. The peppermint EO group experienced significantly lower POD incidence within the three days following surgery. The peppermint group also reported reduced pain and anxiety scores as a side benefit. These findings suggest peppermint EO inhalation is an effective way to reduce POD and improve surgical outcomes in older adults.

Pink pepper (S. molle) EO significantly inhibited the growth of L. amazonensis parasite promastigotes at very low concentrations. The EO also induced autophagosome formation—forced the parasite into excessive autophagy causing it to digest itself—and disrupted parasite mitochondrial function, reducing energy availability to the parasite and causing it to die. This parasite exists in human host immune cells (macrophages) as an amastigote (a non-motile, human-infecting form). When a macrophage releases these amastigotes, they usually transform back into a promastigote, which continues the infection cycle. Pink pepper was exceptionally good at stopping this transformation process. In short, pink pepper EO potently kills the parasite and effectively shuts down its ability to complete its life cycle, making it a promising solution for cutaneous and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis.
