自律神經掌控體內神經及內臟器官90%以上的活動,人體自律神經失衡,會產生各系統異常而危害健康,因此芳香療法與按摩為現代人放鬆的重要選項之一。本研究主要運用檸檬精油配合經絡穴位按摩方式,探討兩者對人體自律神經活性之影響。研究對象為36名成年人透過一個月8次施測,比較「單純經絡穴位按摩」、「嗅聞檸檬精油」、及「嗅聞檸檬精油後加經絡穴位按摩」對自律神經活性指標的變化。結果顯示「單純經絡穴位按摩」和「嗅聞檸檬精油後加按摩」可明顯增加自律神經中副交感神經(HF%)的活性,而「嗅聞檸檬精油」則可提升交感神經(LF%)的活性。在總體能量上(總功率TP)「單純經絡穴位按摩」未觀察到明顯提升,其它兩者皆呈顯著提升。
The autonomic nervous system controls more than 90% activities of the body's nerves and internal organs. The imbalance of autonomic nervous system would result in abnormalities of the system, which is harmful to health. Therefore aromatherapy and massage are important options for modern relaxation. This study focused on the activity of human autonomic nervous system effected by aromatherapy using lemon essential oil and/or meridian acupressure. Subjects were 36 adults tested for 8 times in a month to compare the changes of the autonomic nervous activity among “simple meridian acupressure,” “simple aromatherapy” and “aromatherapy with meridian acupressure.” The results showed that “simple meridian acupressure” and “aromatherapy with meridian acupressure” significantly increased the activity of parasympathetic nerves (HF%), while “simple aromatherapy” can increase the activity of sympathetic nerves (LF%). In the “simple meridian acupressure” tests, we did not observe significant change in the overall energy (total power TP), however, “simple aromatherapy” and “aromatherapy with meridian acupressure” can significant improve the overall energy.
