La connaissance des huiles essentielles : qualitologie et aromathérapie

Part of the book series: Collection Phytothérapie pratique ((COLLPHYTO))

  • 1321 Accesses

Résumé

Le but de ce chapitre est d’expliquer à la lumière de tests d’activité, l’utilisation traditionnelle des HE. Seule l’activité pharmacologique générale des huiles essentielles et des substances aromatiques sur l’ê tre humain fera l’objet de ce chapitre. La bibliographie fait référence à des études in vitro, in vivo ou à des essais cliniques humains; on se reportera aux références bibliographiques pour plus de précision. Un compendium d’aromathérapie clôturera, si nécessaire, l’étude de chaque grande famille pharmacologique. Ce compendium tiendra compte des HE évoquées dans les chapitres, mais aussi de celles utilisées en pratique quotidienne, sans réel fondement «scientifique», car l’arsenal thérapeutique de la phyto-aromathérapie est bien plus vaste et s’appuie, non seulement sur ce que nos amis anglo-saxons appellent Evidence Based Medecine mais aussi, sur une tradition bientôt millénaire de l’utilisation des HE en thérapeutique.
