Gut Microbiota, as a major bacterial barrier in organisms, regulates a variety of important functions of the digestive system. Researches have shown that Gut Microbiota is also closely related to human metabolism, immunity, nerve conduction and other physiological activities, and is involved in maintaining people's life and health. At the same time, the imbalance of Gut Microbiota is also significantly related to the occurrence of multi system diseases in the human body, which can directly or indirectly affect the normal metabolism and biological barrier, and then lead to the disease of the body. As an extract of traditional Chinese medicine, it uses different properties, tastes, meridian tropism and pharmacological effects to realize the regulation of Gut Microbiota imbalance, so as to affect and regulate the related diseases caused by Gut Microbiota imbalance. After searching a large number of literatures, this review summarizes the regulatory relationship between Gut Microbiota and related diseases, and the treatment of related diseases by using Gut Microbiota with traditional Chinese medicine essential oil.
