Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aromatherapy on the autonomic nervous system by the inhalation. The subjects of the study were 64 people aged 20 and under 59 years old, 32 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Blending oil with Six aroma(Lavender, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile) was applied to the experimental group, and Jojoba oil was applied to the control group for 30min. Before and after the experiment, HRV(TP, VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF) of the experimental group and the control group were compared and analyzed using pulse wave mesuring instrument(uBioClip v70). There was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in 3 out of 5 items analyzed TP(p<.05), LF(p<.05), HF(p<.01). In other words, aromatherapy increases the total activity of the autonomic nervous system by enhancing the TP, increases the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, promotes the activity of the heart, Facilitate the activity of the heart. Therefore, if aromatherapy is used steadily in everyday life, it will enable healthy life by positively affecting the autonomic nervous system response.

본 연구는 아로마의 흡입법을 적용한 아로마테라피가 자율신경계에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 진행되었다. 연구 대상자는 모집공고에 의해 만 20세 이상~만 59세 이하의 남,여 64명을 대상으로 하였고, 실험군 32명, 대조군 32명을 무작위배정하였다. 실험군에게는 6가지 아로마블렌딩오일(Lavender, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile)을 적용하였으며, 대조군에게는 조조바오일을 적용하여 흡입법을 실시하였다. 실험처치 전과 30분 후에 PPG측정을 위하여 유비오 맥파측정기(uBioClip v70)를 이용해, 실험군과 대조군의 HRV(TP, VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF)를 비교 분석하였다. 통계분석은 측정치의 사전점수를 통제한 공변량분석(ANCOVA)을 사용하였으며, 연구결과 분석된 5개 항목 중 3개 항목인 TP(p<.05), LF(p<.05), HF(p<.01)에서 실험군과 대조군 간 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 아로마테라피가 TP를 향상시켜 자율신경계의 전체 활성도를 증가시키고, 교감과 부교감신경의 활성도를 높여 적당한 긴장과 이완을 통한 심장활동의 촉진에 도움을 주는 것을 알 수 있다. 일상생활에서 아로마테라피를 꾸준히 활용한다면 자율신경계 반응에 긍정적인 영향을 줌으로써, 건강한 생활을 영위할 수 있게 해줄 것이다.
