以唾液澱粉酶為生理指標初探嗅吸複方精油之壓力舒緩影響
An Initial Exploration of the Stress-relieving Effects of Sniffing Complex Essential Oil- Using Salivary Amylase as a Physiological Index
摘要
當個體產生壓力時，交感神經受刺激後會促使身體產生反應，並提高唾液澱粉酶分泌量，本實驗利用檢測唾液澱粉酶活性（Salivary amylase activity, SAA）作為偵測壓力狀態的生理指標。本研究評估嗅吸複方精油後之壓力舒緩影響，以20～60歲、18人次作為研究對象，經由三天檢測，收集54次成對數據，進行精油介入前後之兩組監測量化數值樣本對照分析。實驗結果顯示，18人次嗅吸前之SAA平均值為50.98 ± 28.12 kIU/L，嗅吸後平均值為36.63 ± 20.21 kIU/L，18人次經嗅吸精油後平均改善率為28.15 kIU/L，實驗組群間有顯著的統計差異，p＜0.001，顯示嗅吸複方精油後SAA生理數值有顯著性的正向改善。

When the human stress rising, the autonomic nervous system will be activated, and increased secretion of Salivary amylase activity (SAA). This experiment uses the detection of SAA as a physiological indicator to detect the stress state. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sniffing complex essential oil. The total of 18 subject are in the range of 20 to 60 years old participate the experiment. After three days of testing, 54 pairs of data were collected. Comparative analysis of two groups of monitoring quantitative numerical samples before and after essential oil intervention. The experimental results showed that the average value of SAA before sniffing was 50.98 ± 28.12 kIU/L, and the average value after sniffing was 36.63 ± 20.2kIU/L, and after 18 people sniffing essential oil the average was improved 28.15 kIU/L. There was a significant statistical difference between the experimental groups, p＜0.001. The results show that the SAA physiologically improved significantly after sniffing the complex essential oil.
