Abstract: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a Mediterranean plant that has developed throughout the world and often used as aromatherapy for relaxation. Balm is one of the topical drug forms that effective for patients with very dry skin and has a higher potency and greater drug penetration. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of 10% lavender essential oil balm on serum cortisol levels. This study used 36 male Wistar rats divided into 4 groups (negative control = no stressor; positive control = stressor only; placebo = stressor + placebo; L1 = stressor + Lavender 10%), the forced swim test was given as the stressor. Serum cortisol levels were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis Test (p<0.05) and continued with the Mann-Whitney Test (p<0,05). The result of the serum cortisol levels analysis showed that 10% lavender essential oil balm significantly (p=0.007 and p=0.041) decreased the serum cortisol levels in rats compared to negative control group and positive control g roup (684.19 ± 54.081 (L1), 712.95 ± 129.589 (C-), and 728.13 ± 48.125 (C+)). These results indicate that lavender essential oil balm can be used as an alternative treatment to relieve stress but should be further researched for other biochemical parameters. (More)
