Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the effect of essential oil of Satureja brevicalyx “muña del Inka” used in aromatherapy together with mindfulness meditation for treating anxiety. A quasi-experimental pretest and post test study was conducted with a sample of 64 participants randomly divided into four groups, constituting a control group and three experimental groups. Anxiety levels were assessed using the STAI questionnaire. Anxiety levels were significantly reduced when aromatherapy and mindfulness meditation were used together, finding statistical significance (p<0.05) in these results.
