| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanism of action of essential oils was investigated using PC12m3 cells, i.e., mutant cells susceptible to certain chemicals and stress, and orange essential oil, demonstrating that the orange essential oil activated the PC12m3 cells and promoted neurite outgrowth with favorable effects and without cytotoxicity in humans. The pain was alleviated by essential oil used to reduce menstrual symptoms. Autonomic balance was tested in patients hospitalized in palliative care units, who took an aromatic bath supplemented with essential oil, demonstrating sedative and relaxation effects with reduced physical fatigue. The effects of an aromatic bath on the cumulative fatigue symptoms of nurses working on a psychiatric ward were examined, showing significantly reduced mental symptoms and generally increased autonomic nervous activities.
