Aromatherapy is officially defined as a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a persons mind, mood, cognitive function or health1. This emerging industry has some solid merits, but similar to many nutraceutical/cosmeceutical products, seems to also be full of fictitious claims. The fundamentals behind aromatherapy are simply: essential oils & aromatic ingredients can sometimes have certain benefits such as anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-mutagenic effects, thus when they are volatilized, these effects can be transferred nasally. While it has been proven that essential oils such as rosemary can lower the production of carcinogens during cooking of meat2, it is clear that simply smelling rosemary essential oil will not help prevent cancer. 🌹🌻🌷🌸🌺🌹🌺🌻🌹🌸💐🌷🌺🌹🌻🌲🌷🌲
