Kasper and colleagues investigated the efficacy of lavender oil (WSÂ® 1265) for AD NOS in comparison to placebo in a primary care setting.62 This study was the first double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to document the anxiolytic efficacy of orally administered lavender essential oil for anxiety disorder.
A coma is a state of prolonged unconsciousness that can be caused by a variety of problems â traumatic head injury, stroke, brain tumor, drug or alcohol intoxication, or even an underlying illness, such as diabetes or an infection. A coma is a medical emergency.
Problems that can lead to coma include: 1  Trauma: Head injuries can cause the brain to swell and/or bleed. 2  Swelling: Swelling of brain tissue can occur even without distress. 3  Bleeding: Bleeding in the layers of the brain may cause coma due to swelling and compression on the injured side of the brain. This compression causes the brain to shift, causing damage to the brainstem and the RAS (mentioned above).
