| ABSTRACT |
|
Resulting from the remarkable growth in economy and science technology, changes in living circumstances
for people in the modern society are obvious. Their attitudes toward and values of life
are different from the past. It has become the society where people lay emphasis on QOL(quality of
life). Concreteness that implies the pursuit of both physical and psychological health demands nature-
friendly methods an means. Therefore interest in healthy and beautiful skin becomes specified
more and presents as desire for professional skin care. Unlike the past, skin care is gradually focusing
on the health of the human body of which concept is more fundamental and comprehensive, beyond
the beauty of skin. From this point of view, the alternative therapy, a health-improving method
through treatment in behalf of what we call the whole man and the strengthening of the natural
healing power, is applied to the field of skin care. In the other words, as an effective practice in
helping to maintain the physiological functions and homeostasis of the human body, the alternative
therapy is placed as a fundamental method to realize the ultimate goal of skin care. The alternative
therapy emphasizing balance and harmony is suggested for the reason that it should be utilized in
skin care in the point that it raises immunity through helping the human body to use its own natural
healing power.
In addition, from this viewpoint, the researcher wishes that the wave therapy which is introduced
in this study will carry significance. Since it needs theoretical consideration from the perspective of
professional and pure-scientific area, the researcher is careful about dealing with it, but with the
same reason determining that it is the area where deeper interest and research are required, and in
light of this, the researcher is presenting principles at the basic and theoretical level and introducing
a field of skin care where the therapy is applied. It could be said to be the core of the wave therapy
that has positive effects on the human body and skin by giving waves directly to skin through
manipulation and machines used in the fields of massage, meridian massage, machinery management,
and so on.
In the main discourse in this study, the researcher takes a look at the concept, area, and the
principle of curing of the wave therapy, and exactly what kind of skin care practices to which the
wave therapy is applied we have.
In the point that while the alternative therapy using waves is discussed largely in the world of
medical science, generally it has not been a general topic yet in the field of skin care, the researcher
expects that one can take the first step toward understanding the wave therapy and performing skin
care practices using it by taking advantage of this study. |
