During the 8 weeks of Clinical trial there was a significant reduction in the night-time disturbance score after both treatments (Organic massage oils & Organic bath oils), compared with the pre-treatment scores. The day-time irritation scores were significantly decreased after both treatments (Organic massage oils &Organic bath oils), compared with the pre treatment scores.
