Abstract
Aromatherapy is the treatment or prevention of disease by use of essential oils. Other stated uses include pain and anxiety reduction, enhancement of energy and short- term memory, relaxation, hair loss prevention, and reduction of eczema-induced itching. 4 Two basic mechanisms are offered to explain the purported effects. One is the influence of aroma on the brain, especially the limbic system through the olfactory system. The other is the direct pharmacological effects of the essential oils. 5. The findings of this study have proved that the orthopedic patients have a remarkable reduction in the pain after aroma therapy. Thus, for the future outlook there is a need to implement aroma therapy as a part of pain management strategies.
