Background. Previous experimental and clinical-physiological studies have shown that the Ukrainian phytocomposition “Balm Kryms’kyi” has adaptogenic properties, which are manifested in its vegetative, endocrine, immunotropic, coagulotropic, actotropic and metabolic effects. However, the neurotropic properties of the phytocomposition remain unclear, which is the purpose of this study. Materials and methods. The object of observation were 12 women (44±13 years) and 62 men (44±12 years) with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex. HRV and EEG parameters were recorded in the morning in basal conditions. Then the members of the main group used 5 ml of phytocomposition dissolved in 45 ml of tap water, instead in the control group used 50 ml of the latter. After 1,5 hours, the test was repeated. Results. Discriminant analysis revealed 30 EEG parameters and 4 HRV parameters characteristic of the initial state and after consumption of phytocomposition or tap water. Conclusion. Ukrainian phytocomposition “Balm Truskavets” causes immediate neurotropic effects at patients with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex.
