Regarding aromatherapy, initial studies have been quite positive. Many have shown that the smell of some essential oils can work alongside traditional therapy to treat anxiety and stress ( 9, 10, 11).
In any form, using essential oils as green pesticides rather than synthetic pesticides has ecological benefits such as decreased residual actions. [21] In addition, increased use of essential oils as pest control could have not only ecological, but economical benefits as the essential oil market diversifies [20] and popularity increases among organic farmers and environmentally conscious consumers. [19] As of 2012 [update] some EOs are authorized, and in use, in the European Union: Melaleuca oil as a fungicide, citronella oil as a herbicide, Syzygium aromaticum oil as a fungicide and bactericide, Mentha spicata oil as a plant growth regulator; Citrus sinensis oil (only in France) for Bemisia tabaci on Cucurbita pepo and Trialeurodes vaporariorum on Solanum lycopersicum; and approvals for oils of Thymus, C. sinensis, and Tagetes as insecticides are pending.

Test-tube studies have investigated essential oils, such as peppermint and tea tree oil, extensively for their antimicrobial effects, observing some positive results ( 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39).

Since essential oils cause reactions in the body, not all the oils will benefit everyone. Chemical compounds in essential oils can produce adverse effects when combined with medications. They may reduce the effectiveness of conventional drugs, or they may exacerbate health conditions in the individual. However, while these test-tube study results are interesting, they do not necessarily reflect the effects that these oils have within your body. They don’t prove that a particular essential oil could treat bacterial infections in humans. SummaryHenley, Derek V.; Lipson, Natasha; Korach, Kenneth S.; Bloch, Clifford A. (2007).
