Resumo(s)
Aromaterapia é uma prática que é usada desde à 6000 anos A.C. Tem por base o uso de óleos essenciais cuja composição, muito variável, é responsável pelas diferentes atividades biológicas e farmacológicas que lhes são atribuídas. Estes óleos essenciais são produtos de origem vegetal, extraídos geralmente por hidrodestilação, e nalguns casos especiais como no género Citrus, através de expressão. Podem apresentar diversas estruturas químicas, mas os principais compostos são de natureza terpénica, como os monoterpenos e sesquiterpenos. Este tipo de terapia pode ser aplicado por 3 vias, inalatória, tópica e oral, sendo que as duas primeiras são as mais comuns e a última tem grande destaque em França. Ao longo desta monografia vamos abordar os diferentes tópicos a ter em consideração quando se pratica esta terapia.
