Abstract
The purpose of this study is to divide middle-aged women subjects into a group that goes through foot bath and back lymph drainage and a group that goes through back lymph drainage only and verifying its effect on the changes in properties of blood, fatigue substance in blood and stress hormones. 12 middle-aged women in their 40s who participated in this study were randomly assigned to the foot bath and aroma back lymph group, and aroma back lymph group that consisted of 6 members each. Then, the foot bath and back lymph drainage program was conducted and changes in the properties of blood, fatigue substance in blood and stress hormones were measured before and after the program. For both groups, treatments were conducted twice a week, and for the foot bath and aroma back lymph group, the daily treatment lasted for 55 minutes, and for the aroma back lymph group, the daily treatment lasted for 45 minutes. Treatments were conducted separately for a group that received both the foot back and aroma back lymph drainage and a group that received aroma back lymph drainage only. SPSSWIN (ver.15.0) statistical program was used to handle and analyze the data, and findings are as follows. As for changes in the properties of blood, reductions of RBC 4.19%, WBC 9.44%, Hemoglobin 9.58%, Hamatocrit 5.78%, Platelet 13.95% were observed in the foot bath and aroma back lymph group. For the aroma back lymph group, Hemoglobin showed a reduction of 0.38%. On the other hand, increases of RBC 11.40%, WBC 0.71%, Platelet 0.39%, Hamatocrit 4.82% were observed. Significant statistical differences were observed only in Hamatocrit (p<.01). As for changes in the fatigue substance in blood, the foot bath and aroma back lymph group showed a lactic acid reduction of 54.58% and the aroma back lymph group showed a lactic acid reduction of 59.21% and significant statistical differences were observed (p<.05). In Glucose, the foot bath and aroma back lymph group showed an increase of 5.95% and the aroma back lymph showed an increase of 0.91%, but no significant statistical differences were observed (p>.05). As for changes in the stress hormones, the foot bath and aroma back lymph group showed a reduction of 11.54% and the aroma back lymph group showed a reduction of 15.95%, but no significant statistical differences were observed (p>.05).
