Aside from comments claiming that the article is BS because it is funded by P&G, I can tell that aromatherapy works.

Be scientific, try it yourself.

1. Get 100% lavender oil, put a couple of drops onto your pillow before sleep. Sleep and see how rested you are.

2. Get a diffuser. Set it up drop a few drops of lavender oil in it. Let it run while you watch a movie, read news etc. Feel the relaxation and calm.

3. Drop a few drops of peppermint oil into the diffuser before you do a task that requires concentration. Feel the alertness.

I do not know about the health benefits, but essential oils work on me if I want to relax or increase my attention passively.
