OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the stress relief effect of lavender aroma by measuring sensitive salivary endocrinological stress markers, cortisol and chromogranin A (CgA).
DESIGN
Thirty healthy students performed a serial arithmetic task for 10min and then rested for 10min. During the resting period, 16 students (aroma group) were exposed to airborne organic essential oil of lavender. Saliva samples were collected immediately before and after the arithmetic task, and at 5 and 10min after that. Salivary cortisol and CgA levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS
In the aroma group, levels of CgA that had been elevated at the end of the arithmetic task were statistically significantly lower 10min later. The control group showed no such change. During the protocol, no statistically significant changes in levels of cortisol were detected in either the aroma group or the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that lavender aroma has a stress relief effect.
目的
通过测量敏感的唾液内分泌应激标志物皮质醇和嗜铬粒蛋白A（CgA），我们评估了薰衣草香气的减压效果。
设计
30名健康学生进行了10分钟的连续算术任务，然后休息10分钟。在休息期间，16名学生（香气组）暴露于薰衣草的空气传播有机精油中。在算术任务前后以及之后的5分钟和10分钟立即收集唾液样本。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法测定唾液皮质醇和CgA水平。
结果
在香气组中，算术任务结束时升高的CgA水平在10分钟后统计学上显著降低。对照组未显示出此类变化。在该方案期间，香气组和对照组的皮质醇水平均未检测到统计学上的显著变化。
结论
这些发现表明薰衣草香气具有减压效果。
