About
Takeshi Tatsuse is a researcher whose work bridges traditional medicine and modern psychophysiology, with a particular focus on Ayurvedic oil-dripping therapy, known as Shirodhara. His most-cited study, "Pharmaco-Physio-Psychologic Effect of Ayurvedic Oil-Dripping Treatment Using an Essential Oil from *Lavendula angustifolia*" (2008, 41 citations), investigates how the addition of lavender essential oil to sesame oil alters the treatment's effects. Building on earlier findings that plain sesame oil Shirodhara induces anxiolysis and an altered state of consciousness (ASC) in healthy subjects, Tatsuse's work systematically examines the pharmaco-physio-psychologic dimensions of this ancient practice. His contributions are notable for empirically validating traditional Ayurvedic techniques through rigorous scientific methods, offering insights into how sensory stimulation—via oil temperature, aroma, and rhythmic dripping—can modulate stress, anxiety, and consciousness. While his citation count reflects a niche but dedicated audience, Tatsuse's research is impactful for integrative medicine, psychopharmacology, and cross-cultural psychiatry, providing a model for studying complex, multi-sensory interventions. His work invites further exploration into non-pharmacological approaches for mental wellness.
