Óleos essenciais são extratos aromáticos altamente concentrados e voláteis obtidos através de plantas. O presente trabalho buscou otimizar informações sobre o potencial econômico e terapêutico de tais produtos no Brasil. Através da revisão da literatura e atualização dos dados comerciais existentes, foi possível identificar estudos científicos relevantes que foram selecionados em buscas nas bases de dados eletrônicas National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciElo), Google Scholar, The Cochrane Library, de acordo com o grau de adequação ao tema proposto. Sendo o país um dos grandes produtores desse tipo de insumo, suas exportações e importações são responsáveis por movimentar milhões de dólares. Percebendo sua importância, tanto para a saúde quanto para a economia brasileira, destacam-se as espécies mais estudadas no país a fim de se obter tais extratos: Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f.; Eucalyptus citriodora Hook; Eucalyptus urograndis; Eucalyptus microcoris; Mentha arvensis L.; Mentha piperita L.; Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière; Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt ex Bor; Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf; Myrocarpus frondosus Allemão; Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck; Citrus bergamia Risso; Pelargonium graveolens L’Hér. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a produção de óleos essenciais no país é viável e de grande potencial econômico e terapêutico.
