Lin, Shifan published the artcileStudy on the Effect of Mentha x piperita L. Essential Oil on Electroencephalography upon Stimulation with Different Visual Effects, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Mentha piperita essential oil electroencephalog stimulation visual effect; colour; electroencephalograph; inhalation; peppermint essential oil.
Essential oils have long been used to fight infections and treat various diseases. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) is an herbal medicine that has been widely used in daily life since ancient times, and it has a wide range of applications in food, cosmetics, and medicine. Mint oil is refreshing because of its cool and comfortable smell; therefore, it is often used in ethnopharmacol. studies. The present study investigated the effects of peppermint essential oil in electroencephalog. activity response to various visual stimuli. The electroencephalog. changes of participants during peppermint essential oil inhalation under white, red, and blue color stimulations were recorded. A rapid Fourier transform anal. was used to examine the electroencephalograph power spectra of the various microstates induced by inhaling the oils. Peppermint essential oil had various effects on the brain when subjected to different visual stimuli. Alpha waves increased in the prefrontal area in the white-sniffing group, which facilitated learning and thinking. In the blue-sniffing group, the changes were less pronounced than those in the red group, and the increased alpha wave activity in the occipital area was more controlled, indicating that the participants’ visual function increased in this state. Based on EEG investigations, this is the first study to indicate that vision influences the effects of peppermint essential oils. Hence, the results of this study support the use of essential oils in a broader context to serve as a resource for future studies on the effects of different types of essential oils.
