Relations Between Aroma Essential Oil Blending Based on Oil Characteristics and In-San Body Constitution Based on Blood Type
Seon-hee Heo, Seongmo Yoo
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to suggest the most suitable blended oils for each body constitution type by arranging six varieties of blended oils based on personal Blood-type Sasang constitution of (In-San) Kim Il-Hoon. The characteristics of the essential oils were categorized into 3 types: warm, neutral, and cold depending on the parts of plants from which the oil was extracted. Features of each body constitution and functional characteristics of aroma essential oils were considered to arrange blended oils. An O-ring test, the applied kinesiology muscle testing, was used to distinguish appropriate blended oils for each Blood-type Sasang constitution. Female estheticians and customers in the skin care industry from their 30s to 40s were selected as the research subjects. According to the result, Yin types commonly responded to warm essential oils known for relieving pain and inflammation in the digestive system and helping to improve the urogenital system. While Taeum-in showed remarkable reaction to essential oils that enhance the function of the stomach, digestion and reproductive systems, the Soeum-in additionally reacted to oils that relieve depression, anxiety, menstrual pain and improve hormonal function, showing antispasmodic action. Yang types highly responded to cold essential oils, which improve the circulatory and respiratory systems and enhance the lymphatic system with stronger detoxification. Two cold oils strongly reacted to Taeyang-in, which improve cardiopulmonary function and promote the drainage of waste from the kidneys, showing anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-virus effects. Soyang-in remarkably responded to three varieties of the cold essential oils.
