Abstract：Traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy is a unique traditional natural therapy.In the long history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine,this therapy has evolved with the development of ancient and modern formulas and therapies,forming its own unique theoretical system.Traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy mainly uses the volatile aroma of traditional Chinese medicine to act on the human body.According to the theory of internal disease and external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine,volatile gases enter the pores through respiration,skin,and other channels,and directly reach the organs through meridians,playing a role in adjusting the balance of Yin and Yang in the body,supplementing positive Qi,and resisting external pathogens.In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy has been applied to the treatment of breast diseases.The efficacy of aromatherapy can regulate the spirit and improve the anxiety and depression of breast cancer.Aromatic invigorating spleen effect can improve the function of spleen and stomach,and inhibit nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy for breast cancer.The pungent fragrance can promote the circulation of qi and blood,making it suitable for the treatment of breast hyperplasia diseases.A deep understanding of aromatic traditional Chinese medicine and expanding our thinking from the perspective of aromatic traditional Chinese medicine can provide certain reference and guidance for the treatment of breast diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.
