A recent study conducted in three nursing homes in Japan concludes that lavender may help prevent falls in the elderly. In the year-long study, residents were given patches to wear on a daily basis, with a control group receiving patches infused with lavender oil and a placebo group receiving identical unscented patches. Residents who received the continuous lavender scent reported a significant decrease in falls.
Lavender has balancing properties that calm the mind and body and has been traditionally used to soothe anxiety.*
