Essentials oils for a healthy environment

Abstract

“Health is wealth with essential oils”. Aromatic plants have also been a boon to humans, particularly in developing countries, who have used them for millennia as food, medicine, health, aromas, and flavoring in meals by their predecessors and generations. These plants are not only used in traditional ways, but they are also exported to developed countries as an ingredient or raw material for fragrances, tastes, and medications. Many of these plants are shipped to industrialized countries as raw materials for pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and tastes, in addition to their traditional uses. When the final item with value-additions is imported back, it will cost the countries several times more than the raw material export revenue. Very few developing countries are producing essential oils and few of these countries are not able to produce good quality conforming to international standards. Plant-based product promotion and development has gained traction as a result of a rise in green consumerism and the present resurgence of the usage of "Naturals" in developed and developing countries, which has provided new impetus to the creation of plant-based products. More openness and demand for new resources, materials, and goods are brought in by a free-market economy.
