Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if essential oil aromatherapy works to improve urinary symptoms in adults with multiple sclerosis. It will also learn about the safety of essential oil use in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does essential oil aromatherapy reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence episodes in participants with multiple sclerosis? * What medical problems do participants have when using essential oil aromatherapy? Researchers will compare essential oil aromatherapy to a placebo (a look-alike neutral oil with no therapeutic properties) to see if essential oil aromatherapy works to improve urinary symptoms in multiple sclerosis patients. Participants will: * Use essential oil aromatherapy or a placebo oil every day for 6 weeks * Complete a urinary symptom scales to record the frequency, urgency, and any leakage episodes each day * Fill out quality of life questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study
