Opis: Aromatherapy

Recent clinical studies have demonstrated an impact of aromatherapy on the control of symptoms associated with human diseases not fully controlled by conventional therapy. Aromatherapy: Basic Mechanisms and Evidence Based Clinical Use provides an up-to-date compilation of background scientific information that advocates the application of currently developed clinical studies on the effects of aromatherapy to the treatment of human diseases such as mild, stress-induced mood disorders, infectious diseases, and age-related disturbances. The book encompasses all aspects of successful clinical use of aromatherapy, including phytochemistry, technology, and clinical trials. It outlines a rational basis for clinical translation of aromatherapy for treating human diseases in need of safer therapies. It also describes evidence-based use of aromatherapy in controlling clinical manifestations of severe diseases for which conventional therapies often fail, such as managing agitation and aggression associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Containing a wealth of references and a thorough presentation of knowledge on essential oils and aromatherapy, this book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, clinicians, and policy makers in health care systems. It details the current clinical uses of aromatherapy while promoting further clinical development in areas where therapy is lacking.Historical Notes on Essential Oils and Aromatherapy with Special Reference to Bergamot Essential Oil Alfredo Foca and Maria Carla Liberto The Olfactory System: From Odorant Molecules to Perception Simone Pifferi and Anna Menini BOTANICAL, PHYTOCHEMICAL, ANALYTICAL, AND TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES Taxonomy, Morphology, and Physiology of Aromatic Plants: A Botanical Perspective Salvatore Ragusa Phytochemical Components of Aromatic Plants and Factors Influencing Their Variability Giancarlo Statti Aromatic Plants: Molecular Biology/Biotechnology Approach Candida Vannini and Marcella Bracale Extraction, Sample Preparation, and Analytical Methods for Quality Issues of Essential Oils Paola Montoro, Milena Masullo, Sonia Piacente, and Cosimo Pizza Technological Aspects of Essential Oils Maria Chiara Cristiano, Donato Cosco, and Donatella Paolino CELL BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND UNDERLYING MECHANISMS Essential Oils Exploited in Cytotoxicity Studies for Translation into Safer and More Effective Cancer Therapeutics Rossella Russo, Maria Tiziana Corasaniti, Giacinto Bagetta, and Luigi Antonio Morrone Phototoxicity of Essential Oils Michele Navarra, Marco Miroddi, and Gioacchino Calapai Essential Oils: Fragrances and Antioxidants Rosalia Crupi and Salvatore Cuzzocrea RATIONAL BASIS FOR AROMATHERAPY Aromatherapy and Neurotransmission: Behavioral and Neurochemical Studies Luigi Antonio Morrone, Laura Rombola, Diana Amantea, Maria Tiziana Corasaniti, and Giacinto Bagetta Rational Basis for Research and Development of Essential Oils in Pain Trials Laura Rombola, Luigi Antonio Morrone, Chizuko Watanabe, Hirokazu Mizoguchi, Tsukasa Sakurada, Laura Berliocchi, Maria Tiziana Corasaniti, Giacinto Bagetta, and Shinobu Sakurada Pain Relief by Local Peripheral Injection of Beta-Caryophyllene through Cannabinoid 2 Receptor Soh Katsuyama, Takaaki Komatsu, Giacinto Bagetta, Shinobu Sakurada, and Tsukasa Sakurada Essential Oils, the Immune System, and Inflammation Franca Marino, Raffaella Bombelli, and Marco Cosentino Antimicrobial Effects of Bergamot Essential Oil: From Ancient Medicine to Modern Research Alfredo Foca and Maria Carla Liberto EVIDENCE BASED CLINICAL USE OF AROMATHERAPY Aromatherapy for the Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Dementia Luca Cravello and Carlo Caltagirone Aromatherapy in Dementia and Dementia-Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders Sergio Fusco, Francesco Corica, and Andrea Corsonello Therapeutic Applications of Aromatherapy in Pediatrics Samaneh Khanpour Ardestani, Cecilia Bukutu, and Sunita Vohra Aromatic Plants and Essential Oils in the Treatment and Prevention of Infectious Diseases Neda Mimica-Dukic, Natasa Simin, Ivana Beara, Dejan Orcic, Marija Lesjak, Marina Franciskovic, and Emilija Svircev REGULATORY ISSUES Regulatory Issues in Aromatherapy Gioacchino Calapai Pharmacovigilance and Phytovigilance for a Safe Use of Essential Oils Alfredo Vannacci, Alessandra Pugi, Eugenia Gallo, Fabio Firenzuoli, and Alessandro Mugelli Essential Oils and Aromatherapy: Epidemiology of Their Utilization Anna Loraschi and Marco Cosentino
