Effect of Lavender Oil Inhalation in Colonoscopy Patients

Two drops of lavender (2%) essential oil were dripped onto a 2 x 2 cm cotton gauze cloth attached to the front of the clothes of the experimental group patients, approximately 12 inches below their noses. They were asked to inhale 2% lavender essential oil for 20 minutes. They were directed to breathe normally after inhalation. Vital signs of the patients were checked before and after the procedure. After the process, the forms were filled again, the final test process was completed.
