| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patients with psychiatric disorders with disabilities in the heart and brain have increased in recent years. Therefore, if people can effectively utilize aromatic plant therapy using plant essential oil at the stage of pre-illness, we think that it is sufficiently possible to reduce the number of patients with mental illness. However, recently, since the use standards of aromatic plant therapy are not clear, many cases have been reported that deteriorate physical condition due to excessive scent. It is necessary to prepare scientific usage standards for urgent aromatic plant therapy. In this study, research was conducted with the objective of acquiring scientific basic data for using criteria for aromatic plant therapy. As a result, it was revealed that by inhaling plant essential oil, volatile components easily migrated into the brain, thereby affecting emotion.
