Abstract
Aromatherapy in traditional Chinese medicine integrates the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and Western essential oil therapy, utilizing plant essential oils to regulate qi and blood, unblock meridians, and harmonize emotions. Rosemary essential oil, a commonly used substance, exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and mood-enhancing properties. Through methods such as massage and inhalation, essential oil molecules act on the body to restore visceral balance and promote physical and mental well-being. Aromatherapy in traditional Chinese medicine offers a novel perspective for preventive medicine and is widely applied in treating various symptoms.
