The study analyzed the effects of essential oils using a systematic approach based on P.K. Anokhin's theory of functional systems. It found that essential oils had various effects, particularly in enhancing the performance of athletes. Improvements were observed in working capacity and muscular activity, which were linked to changes in the central and peripheral functional systems related to sports performance. Key physiological mechanisms included the activation of the limbic system, improved cerebral hemodynamics, and muscle and psycho-emotional relaxation.
