aromatic plants

Aromatic plants are those that produce strong, pleasant-smelling compounds in their leaves, flowers, or stems. These scents come from essential oils, which plants use for protection or attracting pollinators. Examples include mint, basil, rosemary, and lavender. Besides their fragrant appeal, these plants often have culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic uses. Their aromatic properties are due to natural chemicals that can influence mood, aid digestion, or repel pests. Aromatic plants are valued for their fragrance, versatility, and health benefits, making them popular in gardens, kitchens, and wellness products.
