Litsea cubeba essential oil showed good antibacterial effects on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by breaking the MRSA cell membrane and inhibiting an important enzyme, HMP, of MRSA. The results of Litsea cubeba essential oil antibacterial experiment against MRSA are presented in Fig. 1A. The MIC of Litsea cubeba essential oil against MRSA was 0.5 mg mL−1 and the MBC was 1.0 mg mL−1, which proved a high inhibitory activity of Litsea cubeba essential oil against MRSA). Litsea cubeba essential oil is an effective bacterial inhibitor and bactericide against MRSA.could inhibit the respiratory metabolism of MRSA and lower the key regulator enzyme activity in HMP. Finally, the main component of Litsea cubeba essential oil, citral, could further from the chimera with DNA of MRSA to inhibit its biological activity.

Antibacterial activity and mechanism of Litsea cubeba essential oil against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Uplifting: Improve Mood state, Arouse Happy and serene feelings The essential oils were prepared in several dilutions in the range of the supra-threshold level. The results show that Litsea cubeba oil inhalation showed a sedative effect, observed from alpha and beta wave power reductions. To investigate the effects of essential oil inhalation on the brain and mood responses, electroencephalography was carried out during the non-task resting state, and self-assessment of the mood state was performed.The essential oil dilutions used in this study were in the range of the supra-threshold level. For mood evaluation, we chose three oils—Litsea cubeba oil, garlic oil, and Curcuma longa oil. Happy, serenity, lethargic, and stress emotions were assessed for each dilution. The average values of each oil perception are presented. The inhalation of Litsea cubeba oil showed more positive moods over negative ones. Litsea cubeba oil and Curcuma longa oil showed more scores of positive moods. Happy and serene feelings with the Litsea cubeba and Curcuma longa oils were higher than with garlic oil inhalation.
