Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of inhalation of two kinds of blended aroma essential oils based on parts of a plant on autonomic nerve activity. Forty six middle-aged women are provided three treatments(Oil I: blended essential oils with chamomile, ylang ylang, lavender, geranium, fennel, lemon, and frankincense essential oils, Oil II: blended essential oils with cypress, rosemary, peppermint, cedarwood, lemon, grapefruit, and frankincense essential oils, No Treatment) for 28 minutes based on cross-over design with randomized allocation. Heart rate variability(HRV) and electroencephalogram(EEG) were measured before, immediately after, 12 minutes after, and 24 minutes after inhalation. As a result of the two-way repeated measures analysis of variance with HRV and EEG measures, the profiles of low frequency(LF), total power(TP), and standard deviation of the normal-to-normal intervals(SDNN) of HRV measures, relative theta, relative beta, and spectral edge frequency-50%(SEF50%) of EEG measures across four measuring times for three treatments are found to be different. Therefore inhalation of two different kinds of blended aroma oils based on parts of a plant showed different effects in HRV and EEG measures. |
