Abstract

The scientific outlook for the use of alternative medicine in treatment of diseases is in progress at both medical and public levels. This is due to the fact that this type of medicine is cheaper, easy to use and has little side effects compared to conventional medicine. As a branch of alternative medicine, aromatherapy is considered as the most developing one because of its positive physiological and psychological effects on human’s health and for its simple application in clinics, hospitals, houses, and work places. This study provides an accurate review about aromatherapy from scientific and Islamic point of view. The study concluded that aromatherapy has a great value in medicine as a supporting and palliative treatment but not substitutive one. The study showed that contributions made by Muslim scholars led to the advancing of aromatherapy.
