Now other hospitals and physicians are inquiring what role the oils can play in science. For instance, Erwin Benedict Valencia, Director of Training and Conditioning at the New York Knicks has been incorporating oils into his treatments for almost a year. He believes in using the five senses to gain maximum results to help his athletes function at their best, and is a big fan of the oils.
Cape Coral Hospital has seen immediate effects on their patients as part of this study. “This is one of the research studies that we reviewed,” Tammy Booth, a nurse said. “The antioxidant effect of lavender helps reduce brain injury by increasing blood flow.”
