Lavender Aromatherapy vs Placebo to Decrease Anxiety and Pain During Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).

The Researchers hope to learn if by using lavender aromatherapy during an intrauterine
insemination patients have decreased anxiety and pain at the time of the procedure.

Infertility patients have a high level of anxiety before and during infertility treatments
due to anticipated discomfort of a procedure and anticipation of a long awaited pregnancy.
Aromatherapy with lavender, an essential oil, has been shown to be effective in reducing
anxiety and pain in a variety of procedures such as Botox injections, cesarean delivery and
intrauterine device placement.
