The effect of cognitive-behavioral counseling with or without Citrus aurantium essential oil on sleep quality in pregnant women: a randomized controlled trial.

This study examined the effect of cognitive-behavioral counseling and aromatherapy with essential oil on sleep quality, anxiety, and quality of life in 75 pregnant women. The intervention groups received counseling with either essential oil or a placebo, while the control group received routine prenatal care. After the intervention, both intervention groups had significantly lower anxiety and higher quality of life scores than the control group, but there was no significant difference in sleep quality. This suggests that non-pharmacological treatments, such as counseling, may benefit pregnant women with sleep disorders. However, further research is needed to confirm these results.

Essential oil of Acorus tatarinowii Schott inhibits neuroinflammation by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in 3 × Tg-AD transgenic mice.

Researchers studied the effects of Shi chang pu (SCP-oil) on the neuroinflammation of Alzheimer's disease. SCP-oil is the main active component of Acorus tatarinowii Schott, a herbal used for AD treatment in China. Results showed that SCP-oil reduced neuroinflammation in the brains of AD model rats by inhibiting the activation of microglia. This study suggests that SCP-oil may have potential as a therapeutic agent for AD.
