Are essential oils beneficial for the health of the brain-respiratory axis? In the prevention of coronavirus

Background: Essential oils or volatile oils evaporate faster than other oils when exposed to air. Essential oils are volatile and aromatic substances that are present in only ۱۰% of plants and are stored in special structures such as secretory structures, glands, secretory hair, secretory tubes or resin passages, or secretory spaces. Essential oils have potential biological (antibacterial, antifungals, and antiviruses) and pharmacological (anti-inflammatory) activities and therefore have many applications in the field of pharmacy and the food industry. In this article, we have tried to investigate the respiratory pattern of patients with Covid-۱۹ with essential oils.Method: In this narrative review, we tried to show that the use of essential oils can be effective in our respiratory pattern. Therefore, in pathological conditions, it may play an effective role in improving the individual respiratory volume in the front line of immune resistance against pathogens, stress, and anxiety. The odor of essential oils and its memory can help patients before the more severe involvement of their respiratory disease for reducing stress and anxiety, and protecting the body's immune system.Results: In this study we showed that essential oils have significant role in the pattern of respiratory system. Essential oils through reduction of stress can be beneficial materials against to Covid-۱۹.Conclusion: Essential oils usage can be a respiratory rehabilitation. Because, dyspnea is involved with the brain-respiratory axis. Therefore, essential oils can help the patient by modifying the respiratory pattern and managing in respiratory volumes.
