The paper overstates the therapeutic effects of essential oils without sufficient clinical evidence, relying heavily on general claims rather than rigorous randomized controlled trials. Additionally, the discussion lacks balance, as potential risks, contraindications, and adverse effects of essential oils are largely ignored. A more critical and evidence-based approach is needed to ensure scientific accuracy. I recommend that the authors carefully address these concerns to strengthen the study’s methodological rigor and improve the clarity and reliability of its conclusions.
