I have no idea. your the doc. you should know.
Many people are sensitive to certain odors. They might cause a coughing or wheezing reaction. Aromatherapies contain chemicals (from nature but still chemical) that may irritate the bronchi or lungs. I think we have all been somewhere that a strong smell or vapor made us cough or “tickled” the throat.
Any kind of smoke will probably bother someone with a respiratory issue.
Reactive airways and sensitive airways. Respiratory patients aren’t the only ones who wouldn’t use aromatherapy.
