Abstract
It was found that inhalation of vapors of thyme essential oil (Thymus vulgaris L.) at a concentration of 1 mg/m3 has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of the elderly and on their performance of simple mental work, but does not affect the performance of complex mental work. With a 20-minute duration of aroma treatment, unlike 10 and 30-minute exposures, the effect is reduced in terms of a number of indicators: the psychological tension remains, the vivacity does not increase, the pace of work does not increase and the number of errors increases on both minutes of the correction task.
