Interesting Aromatherapy and EEG discoveries
EEG tests of the brain rhythm patterns found that neroli, jasmine and rose induced delta rhythms, with some inducing a combination of delta and theta rhythms. (To learn more about EEG, you can visit brainwave entrainment page). Delta and theta rhythms are associated with reducing mental chatter and allowing for more intuitive thought processes.
EEG tests used to evaluate stimulant essential oils such as black pepper, cardamom, and rosemary indicated that they induced beta brainwave rhythms. Beta brainwave rhythms correlate with aroused attention and alertness. Some oils like rosemary, are both tonics and stimulants. Rosemary produces a feeling of mental clarity and aids in mental capacity.
