Abstract

Aromatherapy has both psychological and physiological effects on a person's mind and/or body. The psychological effect is produced by alteration of brain activity through the olfactory stimulation from sense of smell. The physiological response is produced by the pharmacological effect of chemical substances in the essential oil. This review introduces profiles of essential oils and discuss their possible application to rehabilitation.
