INFLUENCE OF THE INHALATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF ESSENTIAL OILS TO THE STATE OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD OF RATS
Carried out experimental researches to influence of composition essential oils (eucalyptus, Atlas cedar, peppermint, cloves, geranium, lavender) to the state of blood Wistar rats. In the experimental group consisting of 10 animals, the essential oils was sprayed twice a day, in an amount of 0.3 ml / m3, for 30 days. Peripheral blood was collected at the end of the experiment. A significant decrease in the degree of aggregation and platelet aggregation rate was revealed up to 63 % and 50 % of the control group of rats, respectively. There was also a shift of the leukocyte formula to the left, a decrease in the proportion of neutrophilic granulocytes and monocytes, an increase in the lymphocyte count and an index of the intensity of adaptation, and a significant increase in the immunoreactivity index. The revealed changes are treated as a systemic immunomodulating and antithrombogenic effect of the original essential oils composition.
