EFFICACY OF LAVENDER OIL, PANDAN LEAVES (PANDANUS AMARYLLIFOLIUS) AND YERBA BUENA (CLINOPODIUM DOUGLASII) IN ANTISTRESS PATCHES

Abstract

Mental health research has increasingly explored evidence-based innovations that incorporate natural ingredients into stress-management interventions. Lavender oil, pandan leaves, and yerba buena have been widely recognized for their calming and therapeutic properties. Although the use of these natural components in anti-stress patches is theoretically supported, variations in effectiveness may occur depending on individual stress responses. This study examined the efficacy of lavender oil, pandan leaves, and yerba buena when used in anti-stress patches and explored how these natural remedies help individuals cope with stress. This study investigated the use of lavender oil, pandan leaves, and yerba buena in the development of eco-friendly, natural anti-stress patches. The preparation process involved cleaning and cutting the leaves, boiling them, straining the extracts, and allowing them to cool. Lavender oil was then added to the mixture due to its known calming properties. The combined extracts were applied to fabric materials to create wearable anti-stress patches. This method aimed to promote sustainable and natural approaches to stress management. The findings demonstrated that anti-stress patches made from pandan leaves, lavender oil, and yerba buena were effective in reducing stress when used alongside aromatherapy. Participants experienced lowered stress levels, reduced heart rates, and improved mood after using the patches. The results highlighted the potential effectiveness of these natural compounds as tools for stress reduction. The study showed that lavender oil, pandan leaves, and yerba buena have strong potential as effective components of anti-stress patches. These natural ingredients offer a convenient and accessible approach to stress management. However, further research is recommended to better understand their long-term effects, optimal formulations, and ensure their safe and effective use in stress-related interventions.
