59"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific
research and development"
Argument
157. A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers,
has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers
with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on
lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep
was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to
take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but
wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers
discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly
than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third
week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the
previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time
lavender cures insomnia. A folk remedy is usually a plant-based
form of treatment common to traditional forms of medicine, ones
that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology.
