It is a relatively modern science, and there is a lot to explore and studies to do. One of the most popular studies is the “Effects of fragrance inhalation on sympathetic activity in normal adults”  where the experts find that some essential oils stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, and others help to relax it, for example: The pepper oil stimulates it, rose oil relaxes it.
