  • 대전에 소재하는 C 대학교 병원의 물리치료실에 2003년 5월 9일부터 2004년 10월 20일까지 내원한 환자들 중 견부 통증의 진단으로 치료를 받은 환자 가운데 중추신경계에 손상 병력이 없고, 치료사와 의사소통이 가능한 인지 능력을 가졌으며, 실험에 참가하기로 동의한 환자를 대상으로 내원한 순서에 따라 아로마 초음파군, 아로마군, 초음파군에 각각 30명씩을 배정하여 실험한 결과, 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 통증의 정도를 알아보는 시각적 통증 점수가 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 통증 감소의 정도도 차이가 있었다. 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군과 아로마군의 통증 감소의 정도가 초음파군에 비해 높았다(p<0.001). 또한 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 McGill-Melzac 통증 점수 역시 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 차이는 없었지만, 교호작용을 고려하면 아로마를 사용한 군에서 감소 폭이 더 큰 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 압통계의 역치 역시 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 모든 군에서 상승하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 역치 증가의 정도에도 차이가 있었는데(p<0.05), 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군이 아로마군에 비해 역치 증가의 폭이 더 컸다. 따라서 압통계의 역치 증가는 아로마 보다는 초음파에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 아로마 오일은 주관적이고, 정서적인 통증을 검사하는 시각적 통증 점수와 McGill-Melzac 점수에 많은 영향을 미치는 반면 조직의 회복에 의해 상승하는 압력 역치를 검사하는 압통계의 수치에는 영향을 적게 미침을 확인할 수 있었으며, 반면 초음파는 주관적, 정서적인 통증의 감소보다는 실제 조직이 회복되면서 감소하는 통증에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 에센셜 오일은 고대로부터 향을 즐기거나 직접 상처 부위에 바르는 등의 다양한 방법으로 사용해 왔다. 일반적으로 에센셜 오일을 얻을 수 있는 허브와 스파이스는 약 200종 정도이며 흔히 주변에서 볼 수 있는 것으로는 레몬이나 오렌지, 장미, 제라늄, 민트 등이 있다. 이들 식물의 꽃잎(장미), 잎사귀(유칼립투스), 뿌리(베티본), 고목(샌달우드), 송진(프랭킨센스), 줄기(버베나), 열매(베르가못) 등 여러 부분에서 독자적인 방법으로 추출할 수 있는 에센셜 오일은 식물의 강한 생명의 힘으로 종종 언급되었다. 이는 방향성, 비지방성의 100% 천연의 식물에서 추출한 물질이며, 저마다의 고유한 향과 각기 다른 독특한 생명력과 치유능력을 가지고 있다. 이러한 에센셜 오일을 사용함에 있어서 우리는 감정 치유와 신체 건강을 향상시킬 수 있다. 모든 에센셜 오일은 항-박테리아, 항-바이러스 또는 항균성을 지니고 있다. 연구 조사에 따르면 아로마(향)는 인간의 감정 센서에 직접적인 영향을 끼치는데 이는 우리 신체의 감각 중심의 뇌에 직접적으로 아로마 향이 투입되기 때문이다. 우리의 후각을 통해 뇌 시스템을 직접 통과하여 감정, 행동, 냄새를 판단하는 것을 총괄하게 된다. 항상 아름다운 냄새를 통해 즐거워 하고 우리의 감정 균형을 유지시키므로 에센셜 오일을 사용함에 있어 그 향기가 우리에게 즐거움을 주는 것은 중요한 일이다. 이 오일을 통해 우리의 감각신경이 균형을 유지하게 될 것이다. 이러한 에센셜 오일을 이용하여 마음의 건강, 정신의 건강, 신체의 건강을 향상시키며 유지할 수 있도록 유지, 관리하는 것이 아로마테라피이다. 아로마테라피는 적게는 담배로부터 향수까지 광범위하게 가장 화려한 글로 설명되어 왔다. 에센셜 오일을 사용함에 있어 우리 신체의 가장 좋은 투입 방법으로 마사지 법이 있으며 우리 피부는 에센셜 오일을 놀라울 만큼 빠르게 흡수해 낸다. 이러한 효능의 에센셜 오일을 피부관리시에 적용하여 신체의 건강뿐만 아니라, 정신의 건강을 향상시키며 유지 할 필요가 있다고 본다.

  • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an inflammatory skin disease and regarded as a prototype of T-cell mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Aroma Oil Complex (AOC) is composed of lavender true oil, chamomile roman oil and tea tree oil. This study was performed to assess the effects of AOC in a canine model of ACD. ACD was induced on the back of dogs induced by sensitization and repeated application by 2,4-dinitro-1-chlorobenzene (DNCB). Topical treatment of AOC was applied once a day for 8 days and skin biophysical parameters including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin thickness and erythema index, were measured every two days during experimental periods. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect. In skin biophysical parameters, TEWL, skin hydration, skin thickness and erythema index were significantly increased, with a maximum increase appeared on day 2 (p<0.05). After the completion of AOC treatment, skin biophysical parameters were significantly reached those of baseline in a time-dependent manner (p<0.05). In histopathology, marked increases of epidermal thicknesses were induced after DNCB challenge with numerous inflammatory cell infiltrations and edematous changes, decreases of connective tissue occupied regions in dermis. In addition, marked increases of cytokine - tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$)-immunoreactivities in the dermis and of apoptotic markers - caspase-3 and PARP-immunoreactivities in the epidermis were observed in DNCB control as compared with intact control, respectively (p<0.01). The decrease of infiltrated inflammatory cells and related decreases of pro-inflammatory cytokine immunoreactivities were observed in AOC treated skin (p<0.01). Based on these findings, AOC may have anti-inflammatory and alleviatory effects in the allergic contact dermatitis.

  • Background: A quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control groups was performed to determine an effect of aromatherapy foot bath on stress and autonomic nervous activity. Methods: To confirm the effect of aromatherapy foot bath, aromatherapy foot bath group was asked to have a bathing by dropping 0.5 cc in 18 L water after blending with a ratio of 6:3:1 with essential oil lavender, lemon, and tea tree and a foot bath group was asked for bathing only by water. Results: Aromatherapy foot bath group showed significant decrease in subjective stress score (t=3.465, p=0.001) and stress index (t=3.021, p=0.004) in addition to simultaneous increase in sympathetic nervous activity (t=-2.913, p=0.005). However, no significant stimulation of parasympathetic nervous system was observed (t=-1.831, p=0.072). Conclusions: As aromatherapy foot bath is a possible effective intervention for stress relief, it can be applied as an effective method to relieve the stress for healthy adults and patients.
