The World Health Organization reports that workplace stress causes economic losses of up to $300 billion each year. Research shows that aromatherapy uses natural plant essential oils to help relieve stress and anxiety by regulating the autonomic nervous system, reducing sympathetic nerve activity and enhancing the role of parasympathetic nerves. It is a low-risk and easy-to-promote auxiliary therapy. This study used quantitative analysis and a pre-experimental design to conduct single-group pre- and post-tests on 30 individuals aged between 40 and 76 years old. These participants were screened through the Stress Perceived Scale to ensure that they felt stressed at the beginning of the study. The medical device used was the “Heart Rhythm Sphygmomanometer” of LotusNine medical Limited. to measure the heart rate variability and related data of participants before sniffing essential oils, after sniffing essential oils for 10 minutes, and after sitting quietly for 10 minutes. Changes before, during, and after intervention. The results show that the average HRV before using essential oils and after intervention increased from 33.24 to 41.64, which was significantly different (p = .015). During the post-intervention and follow-up observation periods, the average HRV further increased to 41.97, but without significant difference. The average values of SDNN and HF increased after intervention, while the LF and LF/HF ratio showed a downward trend without statistically significant differences. It may indicate that aromatherapy can activate parasympathetic nerves, increase autonomic nervous system activity, and effectively reduce stress and anxiety; however, more research and a larger sample size are needed to verify the effect.壓力心率變異度芳香療法輔助療法心律血壓計StressHeart Rate Variabilityheart rate sphygmomanometerAromatherapyComplementary Therapies學術論文
