The Use of Aromatherapy in Women’s Health

Öz:
Women face problems in different stages of life such as menstruation, prenatal, postnatal, and menopause. The commonality of women’s health problems is that they affect women’s productivity, performance, and quality of life. The diversity of problems related to women’s health and the absence of a drug or treatment that can completely eliminate these problems have led women to traditional and alternative therapy methods. Aromatherapy is one of the traditional and alternative therapies that help women cope with their health problems and relieve symptoms. This review article was conducted to investigate the use of aromatherapy in women’s health.
