Abstract:
There is a fast increasing interest in the use of aromatherapy among medical professionals. This is not only because aromatherapy has become popular due to the limits of the conventional medicine but also because medical doctors are suffering from certain problems in the medical insurance. This is why the author is tying to explain the therapeutic effects of aromatherapy and to correct the widespread fantastical beliefs on the basis of evidences and author's experiences. Conclusively, the main effects of aromatherapy are antimicrobial, psychotropic, and immune-stimulant.
