뇌파기반 클라리세이지를 적용한 경추관리의 이완효과

The purpose of this study was to determine the relaxation effect of cervical spine treatment using clary sage scent on human body. Therefore, 2% clary sage mixed with jojoba oil was used for cervical spine treatment, and the relaxation effect was confirmed through EEG. The subjects of the study consisted of 10 experimental and 10 control subjects, and the homogeneity between the groups was secured through statistical processing. The experimental treatment consisted of eight 60-minute sessions, twice a week, totaling 480 minutes. The EEG measurements were compared using a pre- and post-test t-test and the results of the study confirmed the relaxing effect of cervical spinal manipulation with clary Sage essential oil. The results of the study showed that the activity of the resting brain wave alpha wave, which is activated in the resting state, increased from 53.44 (SD=8.92) to 57.21 (SD=8.12) in the experimental group, and the beta wave, which is activated in the tense and aroused state, decreased from 63.58 (SD=9.82) to 59.83 (SD=3.75). In addition, the value of the RAB index, which indicates the relaxation effect, was significantly activated from 45.49 (SD=6.94) to 49.21 (SD=7.34), showing a relaxation effect. Therefore, by conducting beauty practice research from the perspective of human physiology, this study enables the attempt of new massage management that can be expected to have positive effects on the human body in the future. In addition, it is significant to propose the direction of new cervical spine management research based on EEG in the field of beauty skin care, and based on this, we propose follow-up research on systemic management in addition to cervical spine management.
