The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rose essential oil <em>(Rosa damascena Mill, Rosaceae)<\/em> on human autonomic parameters and emotional responses in healthy subjects after transdermal absorption.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In order to exclude any olfactory stimulation the inhalation of the fragrances was prevented by breathing masks. Forty healthy volunteers participated in the experiments. Five autonomic parameters, i.e. blood pressure, breathing rate, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and skin temperature, were recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Emotional responses were assessed by means of rating scales. Compared to placebo, <a title=\"rose essential oil\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quinessence.com\/rose-otto-essential-oil\">rose essential oil<\/a> caused significant decreases of breathing rate, blood oxygen saturation and systolic blood pressure, which indicate a decrease of autonomic arousal.<\/p>\n<p>At the emotional level, subjects in the rose essential oil group rated themselves as more calm, more relaxed and less alert than subjects in the control group.<\/p>\n<p>These findings are likely to represent a relaxing effect of the rose essential oil and provide some evidence for the use of rose oil in aromatherapy, such as causing relief of depression and stress in humans.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2009 Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Srinakharinwirot
