| 近年,植物の保有する医学療法的側面が注目され,その利用方法や人への効果について関心が高まっている.しかし,それらに関する学術的な効果検証は始まったばかりであり,事例も少ない状況である.環境植栽学研究室ではこれまでも人と緑に関する研究課題に取り組んできたが,本報告では特に園芸緑地資源の医学療法への利用に関して取り組んでいる研究課題をいくつか取り上げ,その内容について紹介した.これまでの成果としては植物や植栽が脳波や脳血流量に影響を与えること,植物の揮発成分にストレスホルモンを軽減する効果があることなどを明らかにしている.今後もエビデンスに基づいた医学,科学的研究を行うと同時に,実際の現場での応用を目指した研究を「緑地福祉」という新しい研究分野と共に,積み重ねていくことが重要である.. Recently, much attention has been paid to the use of plant-based medicines for therapeutic applications, and interest in the methods of use and the effects of such use on people has risen. However, academic data supporting the efficacy of such therapies is scarce as cases of study are few. Although research has already been conducted in the planting design laboratory concerning man and plants, this paper focuses especially on the introduction of our ongoing study regarding the use of a plantbased derivative for medical treatment Our current results indicate that plants and planting design influence electroencephalogram (EEG) and blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. It has also become clear that the volatile element derived from the plant reduces the stress hormone. Our evidence suggests that it is important to continue gathering medical and scientific research in this new area of study known as ''well-being in green space'' as well as to begin targeted testing of practical application in the real world environment. | |||||||||||||||
