N2 - Nowadays, electroencephalogram (EEG) is widely used in medical applications. Besides the examination for brain diseases, EEG is used to observe how the surroundings affect people's emotion. There are many essential oils, and most claim that they are effective in soothing soul and calming. Currently, there is no related EEG scientific experiment to verify this claim, This study attempted to understand whether common essential oils for stress relief have actual emotional relaxation effects on the human brain by EEG observation; the level of efficacy was also observed. From the results of this study, rose essential oil had the best effect of stress relief and relaxation in both genders (P
