精油對神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的作用（一）

專家介紹：韓國Hong Keun (David)Oh 中文名吳洪根博士 韓國芳香療法學(xué)會會長

4月13日，吳博士在中國國際芳香產(chǎn)業(yè)展覽會的同期高峰論壇上做“精油對神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的作用”專題演講，花眷芳香公司精油研究員陸少華先生做整理翻譯。

譯文如下：

大家好！今天非常榮幸到場和大家見面。我感謝芳香展組委會邀請我參加芳香展和論壇，我也非常高興能參與這個大型的芳香展和芳香論壇。

做為一名醫(yī)學(xué)教授、執(zhí)業(yè)醫(yī)師和自然療法醫(yī)生，我一直在醫(yī)院從事臨床治療，治療了很多病人。我使用的藥物，既有西藥，又有精油。我擅長的治療領(lǐng)域，其中就有精神反常（Mental Disorders, 大多翻譯為精神疾病，這種翻譯法不準(zhǔn)確，精神疾病是Mental illness or Disease。譯者），例如睡眠反常，抑郁，焦慮等。用芳香療法診治精神反常和疾病，我有豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和臨床案例。

總體上講，芳香療法有很多獨(dú)特和基本的醫(yī)療特征。最基本的醫(yī)療特征就是鎮(zhèn)定（Sedation）。

香氣吸入后，可以立即產(chǎn)生鎮(zhèn)靜和平和的效果。最典型的治療就是針對失眠。我后面會談到精油是怎么產(chǎn)生這個效果的。精油第二個重要的作用是提升人體免疫功能。很多疾病都是由于免疫力低下造成的。精油在體內(nèi)，可以從大腦到器官，建立自上而下的指揮系統(tǒng)。例如感冒，精油可以通過刺激腦干的神經(jīng)化學(xué)途徑誘發(fā)免疫系統(tǒng)，最終治療感冒。精油的其他的好處在于（化學(xué)）毒性低，副作用少。把幾種精油調(diào)配成協(xié)力精油，治療功效更強(qiáng)大，也是芳香療法的益處。

在感染、發(fā)炎、皮膚病和過敏性疾病中，韓國的醫(yī)生偏愛用芳香療法作為輔助治療手段。同樣，在治療壓力、抑郁、焦慮、糖尿病和高血壓時，也采用芳香療法作為輔助手段。

現(xiàn)代的醫(yī)學(xué)檢測設(shè)備有助于發(fā)現(xiàn)腦部的病原和異常，方便做出診斷和治療方案。如：核磁共振成像術(shù)（MRI)，正電子成像（PET），CT腦部掃描，單光子發(fā)射計(jì)算機(jī)斷層成像術(shù)(SPECT)。

這些技術(shù)結(jié)合在一起，可以分析精油如何作用在神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)和腦部區(qū)域。

Hello! I am very pleased to come here and to see you. I would like to thanks for invitation to staffs of this affair and conference. Also it is much happy and enjoyable for me to join this big world aroma exhibition and conference.

I have been practicing at hospital and treated many sick persons as a medical doctor and professor also as a natural healing doctor. I have used not only drugs but also aromatic oils. One of my major speciality is mental disorders, like sleep disorder, depression, anxiety-panic state and so on. So I have a lot experiences and clinical cases of mental diseases with aromatherapy.

By this my background, I will speech my topic more to focus on our brain and nervous system which aromatic essential oils affect and working on.

Generally aromatherapy has its unique and basic medicinal characters.Most fundamental one is sedation effect. Aromatic smells induce usimmediate calming and peaceful state. Typical case is curing insomnia.I will discuss how and why aroma oils work it later The 2th important action of oils are uplifting immunity in our body. All our diseases are occurred by lack of immunity. Aromatic oils have top-down order system from brain to terminal organs in body. It means aroma

stimulates neuro-chemical pathway at brain and to immune system of the body and finally cure colds. Other benefits of aromatherapy are rare toxicity or no sides. More than one oils is better potent power is also advantage of aromatherapy(synGrgy effect).

Our doctors like to choose aromatherapy as a complementarymedicine on treatment of infection, inflammation, skin care and atopy.Also stress, depression, anxiety and diabetes, hypertension must beindicated in aromatherapy

Many highly advanced technology of Brain studies help to find brain pathology and disorders including diagnosis and treatment MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PET(Positron Emission Tomograpy), CT(Computed Tomograpy), SPECT(single -photon emission computed tomography)

These tools corperate to find out how aromatic essential oils work upon nerve system and what area of brain involved.

For example, PET(Positron Emission Tomograpy) imaginates colorful pictures that lavender oil touches each brain areas includes hypothalamic area of brain via olfactory nerve and limbic system.

Combination of SPECT(single -photon emission computed tomography)and MRI are also tracing aroma oils work by three dimentional imaging.
