Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, to hide the allocation of aromas (essence of Salvia Officinalis) and placebo (Almond oil) Opaque envelopes sequentially numbered are used.Each envelope contains a glass of essence of Salvia Officinalis or placebo.Medications were placed on the envelope in the randomized allocation sequence by the person not involved in the study.
