碩士 / 國立臺北護理健康大學 / 旅遊健康研究所 / 102 / Nowadays, Aromatherapy is a popular way for people to release life stress and improve the quality of life. According to the Cognitive Theory, the odor to a human body is not only a feel of sensory but also the combination of experience, judgment, imagination…etc. Many studies have shown the effects of odors only in Psychological or in Physiological. Some studies discussed the relativity between both but still in the minority in Taiwan.
The study recorded HRV and EEG indicators by biofeedback instrument and investigated emotional feeling by questionnaire, to analyze the responses to the odors of Essential oil : Rosemary, Lavender and Cedar wood (33 persons each one).
The results showed that 1. All of the three essential oils reduced HR, EEG and increased SDRR but there is no significant difference among the three oils. 2. Lavender oil showed a better significant score is joy and happy which means each essential oil might have a different influence on emotion. 3. There is no significant relationship between the physiological and psychological reactions. 4. People have nearly the same familiarity and preference for those three odors. But lavender significantly correlated to some brighter colors. 5. Physiological reactions have no significant correlation to familiarity, preference and the color. 6. The familiarity has significantly correlated to the emotion “joy and satisfaction”, “adamant and self-confidence”. There is a positive correlation between preference and the emotion “joy and content”. There is a negative correlation between preference, and the emotion “alertness and sadness”. 7. The influence of odor in mentality (emotion) is more than in physiology and some correlation between them.
