Summary
This study evaluated the use of bergamot aromatherapy in the treatment of anxiety in a medical office setting among children who are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. H
Detailed description
Bergamot aromatherapy relieves anxiety in adult populations but has not been tested in a pediatric population with autism spectrum disorder. Because autism spectrum disorders often include hypersensitivity to sensory experiences, the use of essential oils in this population should be evaluated.
