and Aromatherapy: Worth the Hype?†tries to analyze the evidence available
concerning the use of aromatherapy as a form of alternative and complementary
medicine. The article first introduces the concept of essential oils indicating
that only around three thousand plants in the world have the capacity to
produce essential oils. Scott (2015A) points out essential oils usually have
the capacity to cause inflammation and to act as antiseptics in cases where one
is in pain. The main objective of the introduction part of the article helps in
preparing the reader to understand the concept of essential oils and how they
are used in aromatherapy.
In the second section of the article, the
author tries to critically analyze the effectiveness of the aromatherapy in
addressing various types of problems. The author indicates that different
studies that have been carried out show that aromatherapy help in relieving
anxiety in a person, however, concludes that more studies using high-quality
methodology should be carried out in the future to ascertain the findings.

the article also tries to provide evidence aimed at determining the effectiveness
of the aromatherapy as a form of CAM to address sleeping problems,
hypertension, nausea and vomiting, dementia, pain, and stress. The author
provides evidence from different studies that have been carried out on the
issues and comes up with conclusion supported by the provided evidence. What
the article tries to bring out is that aromatherapy effectiveness as a form of
CAM needs to be ascertained by carrying out more studies using a high quality
methodology to determine whether it can address various health problems, such
as stress, pain, and others effectively. The article is valid as the claims it
makes are based on scientifically proven data from different studies carried
out on aromatherapy effectiveness to deal with different health problems.
