Purpose: This study systematically analyzed the impact of aromatherapy on pain in individuals with diabetes. Methods: A search was performed in seven electronic databases based on the PICO-SD (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study Design) framework. The population (P) of interest was individuals with diabetes, and the intervention (I) included aromatherapy targeting pain reduction. The comparison (C) consisted of control groups that received no intervention, another intervention, or usual care. The outcome (O) measured was pain. The quality of the selected literature was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. In MIX 2.0 Pro, the pooled overall effect of pain was calculated using Hedge's g and a random-effects model, and heterogeneity was calculated using the Q statistic and Higgin's I2 values. Meta-regression and exclusion sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Five articles and seven studies were included, showing a significant pooled overall effect of aromatherapy on diabetes-related pain (Hedge's g = -1.83, 95% CI: -2.76 to -0.91). Meta-regression demonstrated that effectiveness in reducing pain was associated with studies conducted in West Asia, those with IRB approval, and those receiving funding. Additionally, interventions involving subjects under 60, lavender oil (vs. turpentine oil or blended oils), massage therapy (vs. topical application), fewer hours per session, and more repeated measurements (vs. pre/post measurements) were associated with pain reduction. Conclusion: Aromatherapy, especially with lavender oil, effectively manages diabetes-related pain. Short-duration massage application is also effective. A personalized selection of oil type and application method could optimize therapeutic outcomes for individuals with diabetes.

본 연구는 아유르베다의 모발과 두피 프로그램을 적용하고 그 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 아유르베딕(Ayurvedic) 처치는 자연치유력에 의해 면역력을 강화시킨다. 아유르베딕 베이스 오일과 에센셜 오일을 모발과 두피에 사용했을 때, 두피에 상주하는 균에 대한 항균효과를 알아보기 위해 MIC test 와 Halo test를 통해 측정하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 9종류의 베이스 오일과 18종류의 에센셜 오일을 이용하여 Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium acnes균에 대한 베이스 오일과 에센셜 오일의 항균효과를 MIC test를 통해 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 베이스 오일에서는 모두 균에 대한 항균효과가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 에센셜 오일은 Chamomile, Clary sage, Jasmine, Neroli, Rose오일에서 두 균에 대해 모두 5% 이하에서 항균효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 두 균주에 대해 Thyme, Geranium, Lavender, Tea tree가 모두 효과가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. Geranium, Lavender, Thyme 에센셜 오일과 Sesame and Coconut 베이스 오일을 이용하여 7가지 공시균주에 대한 Halo test결과 베이스 오일에서는 항균효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 에센셜 오일은 7가지 공시균주에 대해 모두 항균성이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. Thyme은 MIC test 와 Halo test 결과 항균력이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study was to develop an aromatherapy hand massage program, and to evaluate the effects of lavender aromatherapy on cognitive function, emotion, and aggressive behavior of elderly with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Method: The Research design was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized quasiexperimental study. Lavender aromatherapy was administrated to experimental group I for 2 weeks, jojoba oil massage was administrated to experimental group II for 2 weeks, and no treatment was administrated to the control group for 2 weeks. Data was analyzed using the $x^2-test$, ANOVA, repeated measures of ANCOVA and ANCOVA in the SPSS program package. Result: 1. Experimental group I did not show significant differences in cognitive function in relation to the experimental group II and control group. 2. Experimental group I showed significant differences in emotion and aggressive behavior in relation to the experimental group II and control group. Conclusion: A Lavender aromatherapy hand massage program is effective on emotions and aggressive behavior of elderly with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.

동양의학에서는 사람의 체질의 허와 실에 따라 적절한 처방을 한다. 즉, 사람의 체질을 목, 화, 토, 금, 수의 오행으로 구분하고 그 체질에 따라 강하고 약한 장부를 서로 균형이 되도록 하는 것이다. 예컨대 그 처방의 하나인 향기요법도 나약한 신체부위를 보강해 주는 향을 사용하여 치료를 하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 오행요법은 실제 임상에서는 많은 효과를 보고 있지만 과학적 근거보다는 통계적 및 주관적 요소가 강한 면이 있기 때문에 이에 대한 보다 체계적인 연구가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 음양오행의 특성을 감안, 폐의 기능이 강한 금형과 반대로 나약한 화형을 대상으로 하여 일단 쓴맛이 나는 라벤더(lavender)향을 자극, 뇌파의 반응정도를 파악해 봄으로써 향과 체질간의 상관관계를 분석하고 나아가 오행요법의 적용가능성을 알아보았다. 그 결과 라벤더 향은 화형인 사람에게는 강한 장부인 담을 편안하게 하여주고 금형인 사람에게는 약한 간과 강한 담을 서로 균형을 맞추도록 하여 간담을 안정시키는 효과가 있음을 보여주었다. 이는 그 동안 동양의학(한의학)에서 말하는 오행처방과도 일치하는 결과라 하겠다.

Background: Malassezia, a lipophilic yeast, is a causative agent for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Many biological agents have been studied for anti-Malassezia effect but further studies are needed for their clinical application. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of different natural essential oils and a fruit extract on Malassezia species in an in vitro study and a clinical trial. Methods: The antifungal effects of natural essential oils and a fruit extract on Malassezia species (M. furfur and M. sympodialis) were evaluated by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) and using the disc diffusion method. Natural essential oils of citron seed, lavender, and rosemary and citrus junos fruit extract were used for the in vitro study. The clinical trial was conducted with a shampoo containing four ingredients. A total of 22 subjects used the shampoo every day for 4 weeks and were evaluated using clinical photography, trichoscopy, and sebumeter at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment. Results: Antifungal activity of agents was relatively lower in lavender and rosemary essential oils at MIC and MFC. Disc diffusion method revealed same results. In the clinical trial, the amount of sebum decreased statistically significantly and erythema, dandruff, and lesion extent also improved. Conclusion: The natural essential oils and fruit extract are effective for suppressing Malassezia activity, therefore these might be used as an alternative for treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Lavender inhalation on sleep, depression and stress of institutionalized elderly. Methods: The methods used in the study follows a non-equivalent pre- and post-test design. 39 institutionalized elderly were recruited using a convenient sampling method that assigned them to the experimental or the control group. The experimental group were then provided with essential Lavender oil, as part of the aroma inhalation intervention, to inhale before sleeping for 7 days. The collected data were analysed with SPSS 18.0 (windows program), using frequency percentage (%), a Chi-square test and an independent t-test. Results: The results were that the experimental group had significantly higher sleep status scores(t=5.195, p=.000), and lower depression scores (t=-5.479, p=.000), physical stress scores (t=-5.741, p=.000) and psychological stress scores (t=-4.233, p=.000) than those in the control group. Conclusion: This study suggests that aroma inhalation, as part of aroma therapy, be applied and comprehensively adopted as a method of nursing intervention for improvement of sleep, depression and stress for institutionalized elderly.

굼벵이는 각종 작물과 나무에 피해를 줄 뿐만 아니라 특히 골프장 잔디에 피해를 주는 주요해충의 하나이다. 본 연구는 18종의 식물정유(anise oil, camphor, castor, cinnamon, clove oil, citronella, fennel, geranium, lavender, lemongrass, linseed, neem, peppermint, pine, rosemary, tea-tree, thyme, turpentine)를 이용하여 굼벵이의 환경친화적 방제 가능성을 알아보고자 실내와 온실, 야외에서 실험을 수행하였다. Cap vial실험에서 홈줄풍뎅이 3령충에 효과가 높은 정유는 anise (88.9%)와 linseed oil (100%) 및 tea-tree oil (88.9%)이었다. 온실 pot에서 왜콩풍뎅이 3령충에 대한 anise와 linseed oil의 효과는 낮게 나타났다. 야외에서 anise와 linseed 및 tea-tree oil의 효과도 대상 굼벵이의 종류에 따라 차이를 보였다. 주둥무늬차색풍뎅이 번데기에 대해서는 tea-tree oil 처리에서만 32.6%의 보정사충율을 보였으나 등얼룩풍뎅이 3령충에 대해서는 anise와 linseed, tea-tree oil이 각각 54.8%, 51.6%, 56.5%의 보정사충율을 보였다.

Purpose: The purpose was to test the effects of self-hand massage with aroma oil on daily cigarette use, smoking craving, and depression of female high school student smokers who are attempting to quit smoking. Method: A convenience sampling of a non-equivalent control group time series was used. Female high school student smokers were assigned either to smoking cessation lecture only or to an intervention that involved a smoking cessation lecture and self -hand massage with aroma oil for 4 weeks. Lavender, Peppermint, and Bergamotte essence oils were used for massage. Result: There was a significant change in daily cigarette use and depression between the groups at three different times. Conclusion: It is promising that self-hand massage with aroma oil can be an effective adjunctive to decrease daily cigarette use and depression of female high school student smokers who are attempting to quit smoking.
