Aromatic compounds have a long history of use as medicines in most recorded cultures. An increasing interest in these therapeutic volatile molecules in both scientific and lay communities has led to the advancement of essential oils as phytomedicines. Recent discoveries suggest essential oils augment the endocannabinoid system in a positive manner to mitigate various pathologies. However, the exact mechanisms whereby essential oils influence endocannabinoid system activity are not fully known, these studies provide a glimpse into their involvement and warrant further evaluation. Additional study of the interaction between essential oils and the endocannabinoid system may lead to promising phytomedicines for the treatment of diseases and conditions involving dysregulation or activation of the endocannabinoid system.
在大多数有记载的文化中，芳香化合物作为药物使用已有悠久历史。科学界和普通大众对这些具有治疗作用的挥发性分子的兴趣与日俱增，这推动了精油作为植物药的发展。最近的发现表明，精油以积极的方式增强内源性大麻素系统，以减轻各种病症。然而，精油影响内源性大麻素系统活性的确切机制尚不完全清楚，这些研究让我们初步了解了它们的作用，值得进一步评估。对精油与内源性大麻素系统之间相互作用的进一步研究，可能会带来用于治疗涉及内源性大麻素系统失调或激活的疾病和病症的有前景的植物药。
