Diluted Essential Oil Aromatherapy Composition for Stress Relief
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for stressful emotions and stress symptoms are lengthy and ineffective, requiring lengthy therapeutic interventions and often failing to address the emotional and physical aspects of trauma and stress.
Innovation Solution
A composition for aromatherapy comprising a mixture of 90 to 110 essential oils heavily diluted with alcohol, used in a specific ratio to create a scent that triggers electrical impulses to neutralize negative emotions, allowing for quick and holistic processing of traumatic experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional therapeutic interventions are used to treat stressful emotions and trauma, then treatment coverage is provided, but the treatment process is lengthy and ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the concentration parameter of essential oils by heavily diluting them with alcohol (ratio of 1:500 to 1:5,000), transforming them from potent concentrated substances into a form that can be safely inhaled without causing adverse effects while maintaining therapeutic efficacy for emotional processing
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces alcohol as an intermediary substance that enables the delivery of essential oils in a diluted form. The alcohol acts as a carrier medium that allows the essential oil mixture to be inhaled safely, mediating between the active therapeutic components and the user's respiratory system
2Illumination intensity
If essential oils are used in high concentration for aromatherapy, then strong aromatic effects are achieved, but adverse effects and toxicity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent fundamentally changes the concentration parameter of essential oils from high to extremely low (1:500 to 1:5,000 dilution ratio), transforming them from potentially toxic concentrated substances into a safe inhalable form while maintaining therapeutic efficacy through the synergistic mixture of multiple diluted oils
3Reliability
If a mixture of many essential oils is created, then holistic treatment effect is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges 90 to 110 different essential oils into a single unified inhalable composition, combining their individual therapeutic properties into a synergistic mixture that provides holistic treatment for emotional and psychological conditions while presenting as a single ready-to-use product
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The composition effectively relieves stressful emotions by reactivating emotional triggers, bringing subconscious experiences into consciousness, neutralizing negative emotions, and providing a simple, inexpensive, and side-effect-free treatment for trauma, stress, and related symptoms.
Implementation Method 1
When a scent molecule binds to a receptor, the olfactory cell sends a signal to one of the button-like glomeruli in the olfactory bulb
Implementation Method 2
a protein complex pumps chloride ions into the interior of the sensory hairs, so that they become well-filled chloride stores
Implementation Method 3
When a scent stimulus occurs, the weak reaction of the odorant receptors triggers a sudden opening of all chloride channels located in the outer membrane of the sensory hair. The outflow of negatively charged chloride ions causes a charge reversal in the olfactory cell. This creates strong electrical signals that are sent to the brain with the olfactory information

AI summary
The present invention relates to a composition for aromatherapy and its use as a medicinal product and in aromatherapy for the treatment of distressing emotions. The composition comprises 0.01 to 0.125% by volume of an active ingredient and 0.1 to 99.99% by volume of a transport composition, as well as optionally a carrier oil and/or an alcohol. The active ingredient contains a mixture of 80 to 120 different essential oils and an alcohol in a volume ratio of 1:500 to 1:5,000 oils:alcohol. The transport composition consists of one or more essential oils. Treatment is carried out by inhaling the composition at the time of a distressing emotion. This effectively relieves the emotion.
