れている。Taking natural botanical ingredients with pharmacological and physiological activities for the purpose of medical treatment or health promotion has been performed for a long time, and now that chemical synthetic technology has developed and powerful synthetic pharmaceuticals have been supplied abundantly. However, the mild and safe physiological activity that is a characteristic of natural plant ingredients, the interaction of various active ingredients that are naturally integrated, and the unique pharmacological value that cannot be obtained by a single synthetic drug realized by synergism It does not disappear, but rather, it is desired to provide it as a product that can be used in a form adapted to the modern lifestyle while positively utilizing such effects, due to the health orientation of people.

It is no exaggeration to say that I always feel mentally tired. However, stress cannot be said to be a disease in a strict sense, and it is difficult to be familiar with medical treatment by a chemically synthesized drug having a clear medicinal effect. Rather, it is desirable to try to eliminate it by prescribing a natural plant component having the above characteristics.

いる。It is known that various natural plant components or plant extracts have an action of relieving stress and softening mental fatigue. Although various plant extract formulations are used for stress relief and tranquilization, it is hard to say that they are always used in a form compatible with modern lifestyles and considering people's tastes. Many plant extracts having pharmacological and physiological activities have a bitter taste, and in the case of prescribing so-called Chinese herbs, the taste is usually not considered so much. Further, the plant extract is usually prescribed in the form of an aqueous solution, powder, or tablet, but these forms have drawbacks such as being inconvenient to carry and requiring water when ingested. In various situations of busy modern life, it is not realistic to respond to stress and take them each time, and improvements thereof are desired.

I found that I could be soft.

説明する。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. First, the galvanic skin response (Galvanic Skin Resp
onse, GSR) and then an actual embodiment.

ようなシグナルすなわち生理指標としては幾種かのもの
が公知であるが、ここでは精神性発汗の電気的表現であ
るGSRを生理指標として用いる。Evaluation of the amount of stress due to electrical skin reactionSince the essence of human psychological effects has not been completely elucidated scientifically, it is not possible with the current technology to objectively and completely measure the state and effects of mental stability. However, it is possible to detect a scientifically measurable signal among various changes in the state of the body caused by a change in the mental state and to deduce the change in the mental state from the amount of change in this signal. Although several kinds of such signals, that is, physiological indexes are known, here, GSR, which is an electrical expression of mental sweating, is used as a physiological index.
GSRは、互いに離れた皮膚上の二地点に電極を装着

験者の精神状態はGSRが高ければストレスの多い安定し
ない精神状態、GSRが低ければストレスの少ない安定し
た精神状態であると推考することができる。GSR can be measured as a voltage change when electrodes are attached to two points on the skin that are separated from each other and a certain stimulus is given to the subject in that state, and the change is the emotional state under autonomic innervation. It is considered to indicate excitement and stability, and it can be inferred that the subject's mental state is a stressful and unstable mental state if the GSR is high and a stressless and stable mental state if the GSR is low.

20 randomly selected men and women (40 people in total)
An experiment of chewing the same gum was performed for 5 groups in total by changing the gum formulation. One subject was allowed to chew 3.2 grams of gum for 3 minutes, and the GSR for 3 minutes before chewing and the GSR for 3 minutes immediately after chewing were measured. Statistical processing was performed from this measurement record, and the average GSR appearance amount was calculated and plotted.

Comparative Example 1 is a normal gum that does not contain any plant extract. However, since GSR is decreased before and after chewing, the chewing action itself has some degree of suppression of physiological excitement, that is, tranquilizing effect and stress reducing effect. I know that there is. In Example 1 according to the present invention, in which only lavender extract was added to a normal gum, the GSR was significantly decreased as compared with Comparative Example 1. The reduction in GSR is remarkable in Example 2 according to the present invention containing lavender extract and valerian extract. In Example 3 according to the present invention containing the lavender extract and the army vine extract, the GSR lowering is further significant. In Example 4 according to the present invention containing a lavender extract, a Valerian extract and an army vine extract, the reduction in GSR was the most remarkable.
