Read MoreEssential oils (EOs) have been used in medicine for hundreds of years. Terpenes, the main components of EOs, are well known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and penetration enhancement properties.

Experimental and theoretical studies report that one essential change induced by canceration is the decrease in the concentration of cholesterol.
