“…A pilot study involving 34 professionals from a nursing group was carried out in Portugal to verify the use of ylang ylang essential oil in relieving the anxiety and increasing the self esteem along with alteration of blood pressure and temperature. The results showed clear evidence that use of this plant led to a significant alteration in self esteem [74]. Further, its aphrodisiac properties are due to its exotic fragrance advantageous for both dry and oily skins.…”

A B S T R A C TNowadays, use of alternative and complementary therapies with mainstream medicine has gained the momentum. Aromatherapy is one of the complementary therapies which use essential oils as the major therapeutic agents to treat several diseases. The essential or volatile oils are extracted from the flowers, barks, stem, leaves, roots, fruits and other parts of the plant by various methods. It came into existence after the scientists deciphered the antiseptic and skin permeability properties of essential oils. Inhalation, local application and baths are the major methods used in aromatherapy that utilize these oils to penetrate the human skin surface with marked aura. Once the oils are in the system, they remodulate themselves and work in a friendly manner at the site of malfunction or at the affected area. This type of therapy utilizes various permutation and combinations to get relief from numerous ailments like depression, indigestion, headache, insomnia, muscular pain, respiratory problems, skin ailments, swollen joints, urine associated complications etc. The essential oils are found to be more beneficial when other aspects of life and diet are given due consideration. This review explores the information available in the literature regarding therapeutic, medical, cosmetic, psychological, olfactory, massage aromatherapy, safety issues and different plants used in aromatherapy.

“…Several studies show that the smell of environments affect the perceptions and moods, cognition and performance, automatically influencing health (ROBERTS & WILLIAMS, 1992apud ALEXANDER, 2001. Also, other studies show that the olfactory essential oils present pharmacodynamic effects in the chemical area of the brain, have potential immunological effect (VALE et al, 1999) and that the olfactory stimuli may cause alterations and changes in blood pressure and skin temperature parameters as well as reducing anxiety (GNATTA et al, 2014). Briefly we can then see that the behavior and body chemistry area are affected by olfactory perception (psychological response) and smell neurotransmitters.…”

The relation of product to user directly involves perceptual and sensory aspects; touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing. Among them, there is an important area, but little explored: olfactory perception of certain products. In this sense, the present work aims to contribute to this area of research through the study of encapsulation techniques of orange essential oil and its implementation in the olfactory perception focusing on product design and materials science. New materials and processes are important when we want to stimulate emotions and new research on technological innovation (Rocha et al., 2010; Hekkert and Schifferstein, 2008). The method used was the interfacial polymerization and ceramic microcapsules were formed with tetraethyl orthosilicate synthesized by the sol-gel method (Ghosh, 2006). The microcapsules were produced in the laboratory and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). An important factor in the development of the encapsulation consists in the control release of the scent during the life of the product and the application on different medium such as fabric, wood, among others. As Nelson (2002) and Monllor et al. (2007) emphasize only the microencapsulation process is able to maintain a fragrance for a longer on a fabric with aromatic microcapsules configured by the presence of essential oils as the active material. The shell provides greater stability as oil dispersion in the medium. As a result, it was possible to produce shells with orange oil encapsulated.

“…Aromatherapy is a method of nursing therapy that uses volatile plant fluids also known as essential oils and other aromatic compounds from plants that aim to influence a person's mood or health (Halcon & Buckle, 2006;Goodrich, 2012). As it has been known the sense of smell in humans is sharp and highly sensitive (Goodrich, 2012;Gnatta, 2014). The sharpness of the sense of smell can be up to 10,000 times stronger than the sense of taste (Gnatta, 2014).…”

“…As it has been known the sense of smell in humans is sharp and highly sensitive (Goodrich, 2012;Gnatta, 2014). The sharpness of the sense of smell can be up to 10,000 times stronger than the sense of taste (Gnatta, 2014). Therefore this inhalation therapy has a strong effect on the sensory organs due to the passing through of the active ingredients of essential oils (Goodrich, 2012).…”

AbstractPremenstrual Syndrome (PMS) appears 7-10 days before the menstrual period and can cause an uncomfortable feeling and pain with mild to severe symptoms that eventually can disturb the activities and quality of life of teenage girls. Prolonged use of chemical medication can cause several side effects. However, there is the option to use complementary therapy, such as Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress, which is considered to be safer than chemical medication and has no side effects. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress in reducing PMS in teenage girls. This research is a quasi experimental, pretest and posttest with control group design. Consecutive sampling was used to generate 68 respondents from teenage girls who were then divided into two groups - the intervention group that was given Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress and the control group who did not receive the intervention. The bivariate analysis in the experimental group after the intervention, using the Cochran test, showed that the Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress is effective in reducing PMS amongst teenage girls (p=0,000 < ? = 0,05). Another analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that there is a difference in the level of PMS between the experimental and the control group (p=0,002 < ? = 0,05). It is therefore recommended that Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress be used as a complementary therapy to reduce PMS amongst teenage girls. Key words: Premenstrual Syndrome; PMS, Cananga Aromatherapy; Warm Compress; Teenage Girls
