PİYASADA BULUNAN BAZI UÇUCU YAĞLARIN FARMAKOPE UYGUNLUĞUNUN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Amaç: Uçucu yağlar; doğal kaynaklardan elde edilen ve vücutta fizyolojik etkilere sebep olan karışımlardır. Bu etkiler, uçucu yağın kimyasal bileşimine bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösterir. Bu nedenle, kullanılacak uçucu yağların dikkatli seçilmesi, beklenen etkinin görülebilmesi adına son derece önemlidir. Piyasada satılan uçucu yağların kaynağına ve kalitesine dair doğru bilgiye ulaşmak ise her zaman mümkün olmamaktadır. Fitoterapi ve aromaterapide terapötik ajan olarak, kimyasal içeriği bilinen ya da farmakope kalitesinde olan uçucu yağlar tercih edilmektedir. Bu uçucu yağlar; ağrı, uykusuzluk, egzema, stres nedenli anksiyete, depresyon ve hazımsızlık gibi ruhsal ve fiziksel rahatsızlıklarda etkin bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır.

EVALUATION OF PHARMACOPOEIA COMPLIANCE OF SOME ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE MARKET

Objective: Essential oils are mixtures, which are obtained from natural sources and induce some physiological effects in the body. These effects vary due to the chemical content of the essential oil. Therefore, selection of essential oils to be used is extremely important in order to see the expected effect. It is not always possible to obtain accurate information about the source and quality of essential oils sold in the market. Essential oils with known chemical content or pharmacopoeial quality are preferred as therapeutic agents in phytotherapy and aromatherapy. These oils are effectively used in mental and physical disorders such as headache, pain, insomnia, eczema, stress-induced anxiety, depression and indigestion.

Keywords:

Aromatherapy, essential oil, pharmacopoeia analysis, Turkish Pharmacopoeia,
