description Objectives: The aim of this study was to find essential oils that have increased the oxytocin concentration in postmenopausal women. Methods: Fifteen postmenopausal women participated in this study and the effects of 10 different essential oils were investigated. The essential oils included rose otto, sweet orange, lavender, neroli, frankincense, jasmine absolute, ylang ylang, roman chamomile, clary sage, and Indian sandalwood. The subjects were exposed to the control first for 20 min, followed by exposure to an essential oil for 20 min. Each subject received exposure to only a single kind of essential oil per day. Saliva was collected four times for each patient: immediately before and immediately after control exposure, and immediately before and immediately after essential oil exposure. The oxytocin concentration in the saliva was measured using a competitive ELISA kit. Results: The results showed that salivary oxytocin concentrations increased significantly more after exposure to lavender, neroli, jasmine absolute, roman chamomile, clary sage, and Indian sandalwood than after exposure to the control odor. Conclusions: The aroma of certain essential oils may elicit increased secretion of oxytocin in postmenopausal women. This study suggests that olfactory stimulation with any of a number of essential oils increases salivary oxytocin concentrations, which may inhibit aging-induced reduction in muscle mass and function in women.
