Ethnobotanical data collected confirm the high ritual value of J. indica and R. anthopogon in the Indian Himalaya for both Ta***ic religious ceremonies and in the daily activity. The data obtained on the chemical composition of the EOs distilled on-site from these species and on their inhibitory activity on important enzymes of the CNS can validate, at least in part, the traditional use linked to their anxiolytic properties. The possible application of these EOs in the aromatherapy market, respecting traditional and eco-sustainable methods of collection and distillation, can represent a further source of income for local populations

Background In the Southern Tibet region, the Nepalese and Indian Himalayas many plants rich in aromatic resins are burned by populations who follow Ta***ic Buddhism, for both daily sacred activities and religious ceremonies. The main plant material used are branches of Juniperus indica Bertol. (Cupr...

The term “climatotherapy”, composed of the words “climate” and “therapy”, refers to temporarily or permanently relocating to areas whose climate and environmental conditions are associated with clinical improvements in some diseases (Maraver et al. 2011). Marine climatotherapy, set in seaside locations or in places with marine-like characteristics (i.e., the Dead Sea and other salt lakes), implies the body’s exposure to different natural elements, such as sunlight, marine aerosol, and sometimes sand and some types of natural muds and seawater. The most important environmental components that can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes in coastal and coastal-like areas are the following: Thalassotherapy (from “thalassa”, a Greek term standing for “sea”) indicates seawater baths and therapeutic immersions, and it is sometimes recommended for patients with skin, rheumatic, or respiratory diseases associated with chronic inflammation (Munteanu and Munteanu 2019, Gomes et al. 2021).
Psammotherapy (from Greek “psammos”, “sand”), sometimes referred to as “psammato-therapy”, consists of hot sand baths, possibly useful for some rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis (Antonelli and Donelli 2019).
Heliotherapy (from “Helios”, a Greek term standing for “the Sun”) implies controlled sunlight exposure to boost the body’s vitamin D supply and to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis (Emmanuel et al. 2020, Melandri et al. 2020, Mead 2008).
Marine climatotherapy sensu stricto, or exposure to coastal climatic conditions is usually within certain latitudes (for example, in the Mediterranean Basin) with pleasing mild temperatures, a variable degree of humidity, higher atmospheric pressure, relatively high wind speed and sunny weather. This also includes marine aerosol inhalation and physical interaction with biogenic compounds released in the environment by seaweed, algae and coastal vegetation. These compounds may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the airways, and may be beneficial for patients with chronic respiratory diseases (Nurov 2010, Asselman et al. 2019). Heliotherapy can be included in the definition of climatotherapy since marine air inhalation often implies some degree of sunlight exposure. On the contrary, climatotherapy does not necessarily imply seawater, mud, or hot sand baths, even though these treatments are frequently associated in marine spa centers.
