Great info

### 5/5 — That AromaBot inside the app rocks

*2026-05-09*

Finally an aromatherapy app that's grounded in real Traditional Chinese Medicine — not just generic "lavender for sleep" lists. The AI walks you through your symptoms and suggests specific oil blends for your pattern. Bilingual interface (English / Chinese / Spanish) is a great touch. Free 7-day trial is plenty to evaluate it. Highly recommend.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-23

Knee Pain: What You Need to Know

Knee pain often gets labelled simply "arthritis." But pain above the kneecap, inside the knee dimples, along the joint line, and behind the knee come from completely different structures.

This update adds a self-exam guide: sit down, bend the knee to 90°, and follow real photographs through eight checkpoints — find the knee dimples, press along the patellar tendon, check the joint line, examine the back of the knee. Each finding links straight to the matching condition and its essential-oil protocol.

EIGHT KNEE CONDITIONS ADDED
• Patellar Tendon Injury (Jumper's Knee)
• Infrapatellar Fat Pad Injury (Hoffa's Disease)
• Knee Collateral Ligament Injury (MCL/LCL)
• Pes Anserine Bursitis
• Meniscus Injury
• Popliteus Muscle Pain
• Popliteal Cyst (Baker's Cyst)
• Quadriceps and Related Muscle Injury

Each includes main symptoms, Western and TCM perspectives, oil formulas with per-oil notes, application and massage technique, acupoint pairings, and clear guidance on when to see a doctor.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Six knee acupoints with new location diagrams: Heding, Xiyan, Xuehai, Liangqiu, Yanglingquan, Zusanli
• Tap any condition name in the guide to jump straight to it
• Anatomy images now appear alongside main symptoms
• Improved oil name recognition, so more oils link to their full profiles
