Abstract

<p>The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aromatherapeutic massage on young women. The subjects were treated below the knees by a sweet almond oil and by the career oil containing a black pepper oil, respectively. Skin temperature of the calf and the toes were measured using an infrared camera before and after treatment. The leg skin temperature of the calf elevated significantly after treating with the black pepper oil in 20 minutes as compared with the control. Improvement on feelings and dissolution on swelling and/or fatigue sensations were also observed as the result of treatment with the black pepper oil. </p>
