EFFECTIVENESS OF AROMATHERAPY IN ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN FREQUENTLY ILL CHILDREN
Abstract
This review article is devoted to the use of aromatherapy in acute respiratory infections in frequently ill children. Children who often suffer from acute respiratory infections belong to the group of "frequently ill children", which make up 20-80%.The high incidence of acute respiratory infections in children is due to the immaturity of the immune system, but with age, they develop antibodies to viruses and bacteria, which helps to reduce the incidence. One of the promising methods for preventing respiratory pathology and improving the health of children is aromatherapy using essential oils. Studies have confirmed the high antiseptic activity of essential oils, which is primarily due to the presence of phytoncides. Such features of essential oils as anti-inflammatory and antiseptic action, the ability to improve the qualitative composition of the microflora of the upper respiratory tract and their patency, increase local immunity, can become an effective and safe method for the prevention and treatment of ARI in children's groups.
