After the pandemic of COVID-19, there has been an unprecedented global surge in healthcare demand, particularly focusing on mental health issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to a 25% increase in the global prevalence of depression or anxiety disorders, showing a rising trend year by year [1]. This heightened focus on mental health has given rise to the sub-healthcare field, with a notable interest in natural supportive therapies such as Aromatherapy, creating new opportunities in the market.

  • Enhanced Mental Health and Mind-Body Balance: Essential oils can impact different systems of the body and brain through various pathways, aiding in restoring mind-body balance and contributing to overall health.

  • Minimal Side Effects: Compared to some pharmaceutical treatments, the use of aromatherapy typically does not result in noticeable side effects, making it a relatively gentle and safe treatment.

3. Multiple Effects of Essential Oil Inhalation: Wide Range of Applications - Brain, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure Regulation, and Pain Alleviation:

 

In the fast-paced modern lives, inhalation therapy with essential oils stands out as a simple and practical daily healthcare method. Utilizing advanced nebulization technology and an IoT-guided platform, AeproMED (EAURORA) aims to lead a new revolution in personal aromatherapy. We strive to provide a healthier and more relaxed alternative for the modern sub-health population, making personal aromatherapy accessible and effective.
