Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how frankincense essential oil and its components, limonene and pinene, affect stress and sleep in rats, especially those deprived of sleep.
  • Frankincense oil at a specific dilution significantly lowered stress hormone levels (corticosterone), while its major components increased this hormone, indicating different effects.
  • The oil helped improve sleep patterns and maintained antioxidant levels without causing additional oxidative stress, suggesting it could be useful for managing stress.
