The present study was conducted to clarify the psychophysiological relaxation effects of viewing bamboo on university students. Forty healthy Chinese participants enrolled in this study to clarify the psychophysiological relaxation effects of viewing bamboo. The effects of visual stimulation using a pot both with and without a bamboo were recorded by measuring the student's blood pressure, EEG and STAI. We observed that viewing bamboo plants resulted in significantly lower systolic (female, P0.001; male, P0.001; P0.05) and diastolic (female, P0.001; male, P0.001; P0.05) blood pressures, but no changes in the pulse rate (female, P = 0.09; male, P = 0.07; P0.05) were observed. The results of the EEG analysis indicated brainwave variation (all P0.05) and lower anxiety scores (P0.01) after 3 min of viewing bamboo compared with the control. These findings indicate that visual stimulation with bamboo plants induced psychophysiological relaxation effects on adults. |
