The core of aromatherapy is plant essential oils. Essential oils are derived from secondary metabolites of plants and are concentrated chemical substances such as alcohols, aldehydes, acids, phenols, acetones and terpenes in plants. They have a variety of biological activities. The essential oils mentioned in this book refer to purely natural plant extracts, not synthetic flavors. A large number of clinical cases and experimental studies have confirmed that aromatherapy has good effects in sterilizing and reducing inflammation, relieving stress, psychological intervention and improving mental disorders. This book covers everything from the principles of aroma perception to the modern essential oil trade, from traditional distillation methods to advanced supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. In addition, this book starts from both life and clinical aspects, uses data and examples to speak, and introduces various functions of essential oils in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Finally, some characteristic essential oil varieties and their applications in the perfume industry are briefly introduced.
