Essential oils have a direct influence on cancer cells along with an impact at
a chemical level on the immune system. Essential oils work efficiently in getting rid of
microorganisms and other foreign bodies from the human body by augmenting white

components of many essential oils act. Furthermore, numerous components play an
important part in various characteristics of essential oils like smell/fragrance,
concentration, colour, texture, cell diffusion, lipophilicity/hydrophilicity, and fixation
over cellular membranes and their distribution within the cell. Biologically, in the
central nervous system disorders, volatile essential oils may affect synergistically along
with the treatment drugs/chemicals. One of the important considerations is the specific
time at which the plant possesses the highest quantity of volatile essential oils along
with the chemical constituent mixture. Essential oils are a beneficial non-medicinal
alternative and they could be included in routine conventional care for some particular
health conditions when their protection and quality control issues have been calculated.
Alternative medicine involving the usage of essential oils is hopeful to decrease the
redundant effects of current medicine and if explored precisely, the therapy will benefit
both the patients and the common man.
