Cloves are used in traditional medicine as a carminative, anti-emetic, and counterirritant. Clove tea is used to relieve nausea and the oil is well known for its ability to alleviate toothache. In TCM, clove oil is used for diarrhoea, hernia, and bad breath. Clove buds are recommended in the German Commission E Monographs as a mouthwash for the treatment of inflammatory changes of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa and for topical analgesia in dentistry. The main use of cloves, whole and ground, is as a domestic culinary spice and for the production of sauces and pickles. Indonesia is one of the largest consumers of clove buds.

Research indicates that aromatic inhalations containing eucalyptus oil can significantly improves respiratory function. It has been suggested that the mechanisms of action of such respiratory congestion may be reflux, and related to nerve stimulation by the essential oils. The reputation of eucalyptus as a decongestant relies on its ability to stimulate cold receptors in the nose. During an infection with a common cold virus, the nasal and lower respiratory passages restrict the passage of air into the lungs because of vasoconstriction.

It was suggested that a spraying of a 2% emulsion containing eucalyptus oil kills off 70% of local airborne staphylococci. During a respiratory infection such as a common cold, the nasal and lower respiratory passages become constricted which in turn makes breathing difficult. Research indicates that aromatic inhalations containing eucalyptus oil can significantly improves respiratory function. It has been suggested that the mechanisms of action of such respiratory congestion may be reflux, and related to nerve stimulation by the essential oils. The reputation of eucalyptus as a decongestant relies on its ability to stimulate cold receptors in the nose. During an infection with a common cold virus, the nasal and lower respiratory passages restrict the passage of air into the lungs because of vasoconstriction.

It has always been considered an important ingredient in cosmetics, as an aromatic incense and in religious rituals of these ancient civilisations. The Egyptians obtained frankincense from the land of Punt, believed to have been a region in Somalia. The famous kyphi, a renowned scent used by them, was made with frankincense.

Frankincense is regularly mentioned in the Bible, being used in religious ceremonies. The most famous reference to frankincense was in the bible when it was given as gift to the infant Jesus.

Some of those scented-leaf hybrids were distributed around the world and later grown for geranium oil production. The first geranium plants grown for the French perfume industry were planted in Algeria in 1847 and in the 1880s extensive plantations were established on Reunion.

In China, the first known recorded use of ginger is from Confucius (c. 500BC), who claimed never to be without ginger when he ate. It was used to treat rheumatism, toothache and malaria. In TCM, ginger is used for colds and chills, to promote sweating, expel mucous and stimulate the appetite. The dried ginger has been used to treat stomach ache, diarrhoea, nausea, cholera and bleeding. Ginger was one of the first spices to find its way to Europe along the spice route, where both the Greeks and Romans made extensive use of it. The Greek physician Dioscorides recommended using ginger as a digestive stimulant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePharmacology and Clinical Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e: As a medicinal herb, ginger may be prepared by either decocting the fresh root or by preparing an alcoholic tincture or fluid extract with it. A tincture is considered the most complete preparation as it contains the essential oil constituents as well as the pungent alcohols; shogaol and gingerol. A considerable number of pharmacological studies involving the digestive, central nervous and cardiovascular systems have been reported for gingerol and shogoal. It has been identified that these constituents have potent inhibitory action against prostaglandin synthetase which corresponds with anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet aggregation. Clinical trials have identified that ginger has antiemetic properties. Most of the trials revealed an activity superior to that of a placebo for motion sickness, postoperative nausea or morning sickness. The antiemetic action may be a consequence of the direct stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The German Commission E Monographs recommend using the rhizome powder for gastrointestinal distress and to prevent motion sickness. It is described as having antiemetic, positive inotropic and stimulant effects on intestinal peristalsis, salivary and gastric secretions. The antipyretic (reducing fever) activity of ginger has been attributed to shogaol and gingerol. The antipyretic activity of ginger can be attributed to ginger's diaphoretic activity in febrile stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCirculatory System\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ginger Fresh oil is a circulatory stimulant and tonic of the heart.

Grapefruit is a large, vigorous tree that growns up to 30m, with a single trunk, many branches, and has a round to blunt conical shape if left unpruned. The fruit is large, up to 15cm diameter, generally spherical but often compressed laterally, light wellow to orange. The shape and colour of the fruit are dependent on the cultivar. The difference between the essential oil from the white-fleshed and red-fleshed cultivars is that the former generally has a higher aldehyde content and lower evaporative residue than the latter, which also contains a small percentage of linalool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eGrapefruit oil is expressed from the peels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Conventional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and Traditional Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e: Apart from its recent use in aromatherapy, grapefruit is extensively used as a flavour in soft drinks and as a fragrance component in soaps, detergents and personal care products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePharmacology and Clinical Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e: Studies indicate that Grapefruit oil has considerable antimicrobial activity when tested against \u003cem\u003eCandida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAspergillus niger\u003c\/em\u003e and the generally difficult to inhibit \u003cem\u003ePseudomonas aeruginosa\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLymphatic System\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grapefuit oil is a lymphatic stimulant and is indicated for cellulitis, obesity and water retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNervous System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e: Grapefruit oil has an uplifting and reviving effect which makes it valuable for treating stress, depression and nervous exhaustion.

Lavender grown and distilled at a higher altitude (from 600m to 1500m) has a reputation of being the best quality lavender.

From the mid 20th century onward, lavandin became a staple in soaps, detergents, household cleaners, and inexpensive perfumes because its aroma is fresh, sharp, and penetrating, somehow similar to lavender but stronger and slightly camphoraceous. Just like lavender, dried lavandin flowers were placed in sachets to scent linens, repel insects, and freshen wardrobes. Due to its higher camphor content compared to true lavender, lavandin oil was valued as an inexpensive antiseptic additive in household sprays and floor washes. Traditionally used to deter moths and pests in stored fabrics, echoing lavender's role since medieval times. Though not historically folk medicine, lavandin oil has been used since its commercial availability in massage oils for sore muscles and stiff joints due to its stimulating and warming qualities.

Myrrh is the resinous exudation, or gum, collected from the myrrh bush, botanically known as Commiphora molmol, either when it is wounded or from natural fissures. There are several commiphora species from which the myrrh resin is produced. The resin flows out as a thick pale yellow liquid, and turns reddish-brown as it dries and hardens. The bush, which is a native of north-east Africa and southern Arabia, has sturdy knotted branches, trifoliate leaves and small white flowers. To increase the yield and production, incisions are made into the bark. Lumps of the gum often fall to the ground and become contaminated with sand, other lumps are peeled off the trunk, and these usually make a better grade of myrrh. However, myrrh cannot be evaluated just by its appearance. Lumps of high odour value may have poor appearance because they have fallen to the ground. Myrrh resin consists of rounded or irregular tears, or agglutinated masses of smaller and larger tears of a moderate yellow to dark or reddish-brown colour. The lumps are usually covered with a lighter-coloured or yellowish dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eMyrrh essential oil is steam distilled from the resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Conventional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and Traditional Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e: Myrrh is one of the oldest known aromatic substances which is mentioned as far back as 4,000 years.

It was an ingredient of the famous Egyptian perfume 'kyphi', and was an important ingredient in embalming. It was reputed to reduce wrinkles and preserve a youthful complexion. Egyptian women used myrrh in their facial preparations. It has a slighting cooling effect on the skin, and so would be especially useful in a hot dry climate. Myrrh's therapeutic properties are frequently mentioned in the old and new testaments, the Koran, and in Greek and Roman texts. Myrrh was one of the gifts presented to the infant Jesus. It was presented at the death of Christ. English herbalist Joseph Miller certainly givers us a detailed account of myrrh: Myrrh is of an opening, heating, drying nature, resists putrefaction, and is of great service in uterine disorders, opens the obstruction of the womb, procuring the menses, expediting the birth, and expelling the secundines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyrrh was introduced in Chinese medicine in the 7th century and was used for treating conditions involving bleeding, pain and wounds.

It is a native of southern China and India. Neroli oil is produced from the flowers of the several citrus species. The oil obtained from bitter orange is called neroli bigarade oil or orange flower oil, the oil sweet orange flowers is called neroli Portugal and the oil from the lemon flowers is called neroli citronier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeroli bigarade is produced in the south of France, Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Haiti, Guinea and Algeria. Neroli oil is often difficult to obtain and is expensive, thus a number of synthetic substances which should be avoided in aromatherapy are available. As neroli oil is highly water-soluble, the water remaining after the distillation of neroli essential oil contains traces of neroli oil. This is sold as orange flower water which is used in cosmetics and in food flavouring. Orange flower water is often solvent-extracted to recover the oil which is known as orange flower water absolute. This oil has dark to brownish-yellow colour with a intense floral odour. It is used in perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eNeroli essential oil is obtained from the freshly picked flowers by steam distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Conventional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and Traditional Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e: The bitter orange was first cultivated in the Mediterranean by Arabs in the 10th and 11th centuries.
