Until now, aromatherapy using essential oils with many physiological and pharmacological effects has been introduced in various medical fields and developed as medical aromatherapy because of its action to ameliorate mental and physical disorders.In the meantime, in recent years, there have been many reports on the effects of aromatherapy of essential oils on mental and physical fatigue recovery, performance improvement, and appetite control. Against this background, "sports aromatherapy" using the scent of essential oils as well as sports massage using essential oils has attracted attention in the field of exercise. However, the current state of sports aromatherapy has rarely been reported physiologically and pharmacologically, such as medical aromatherapy, and there are many unclear points about its effects. To date, we have made evidence for developing sports aromatherapy in animals and humans. In this symposium, we present our experimental data on the functional and morphological analysis of the regulation of feeding in the aromatherapy of essential oils by animal experiments and the effect of restoring fatigue during exercise by scent exposure in humans.
