The fatty acids of the opium oil to be used before the massage were analyzed. Covariance analysis was used by making normality distribution in statistical analysis. Tukey-Kramer test was used for group differences. The level of significance was set at p .05. There were statistically significant differences in biochemical and hematological values between the groups (p <.05).
