“…However, not only aromatherapy inhalation practice was included in this study, but also studies in which aromatherapy and reflexology were used together were included. 44 A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Bordbar et al (2020) showed that complementary therapy methods can be effective in reducing anxiety. 33 In this review, only two studies 39,40 examined the effectiveness of the aromatherapy intervention, and the effect size was not evaluated with the meta-analysis results.…”

“…It was shown that aromatherapy with the use of lavender oil benefitted haemodynamic parameters such as anxiety, stress, depression and fatigue levels in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, not only aromatherapy inhalation practice was included in this study, but also studies in which aromatherapy and reflexology were used together were included 44 . A systematic review and meta‐analysis conducted by Bordbar et al (2020) showed that complementary therapy methods can be effective in reducing anxiety 33 .…”

“…In traditional medicine, lavender is used as an analgesic, for massage therapy as well as inhalation therapy [ 19 ]. Regarding the effect of lavender on fatigue in cardiac patients, there is very limited evidence that shows the effectiveness of this essential oil [ 20 , 21 ], but at the same time, more studies are needed [ 20 , 22 ]. Among the therapeutic effects of lavender, which have been mentioned in some studies, are sleep quality enhancer, antistress, and sedative [ 14 , 17 , 18 ].…”

Background and Objectives. There is limited and contradictory evidence about the effect of aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils on the fatigue of cardiac patients. Therefore, the present study was aimed to compare the effect of aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils on fatigue in cardiac patients. Methods. This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 105 cardiac patients. They were randomly divided into three groups: peppermint essential oil (n = 35), lavender essential oil (n = 35), and control (n = 35). Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to collect data. The intervention was performed for 7 nights. Before and after the intervention, the questionnaire was completed by all patients. In each intervention group, patients inhaled 3 drops of lavender or peppermint essential oils. In the control group, patients inhaled 3 drops of aromatic placebo. Results. The results showed the average fatigue decreased in the study groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of lavender and peppermint in terms of mean fatigue after the intervention. However, there was a statistically significant difference between lavender and control groups ( P < 0.001 ), as well as peppermint and control groups ( P < 0.001 ). Conclusion. Aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils can reduce the fatigue of cardiac patients, so the use of these fragrances is recommended.

In recent years, various investigations have been conducted on the aromatherapy with some essential oils as a non-invasive nursing intervention in various conditions, such as the improvement of anxiety in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The current study aims to systematically review and determine the effects of aromatherapy with various herbs in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Five English databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar, were used to find all published clinical papers related to the effects of aromatherapy on the patients with coronary artery bypass surgery without time limitation. All searches were based on the 06- PRISMA guideline and registered in the CAMARADES-NC3Rs Preclinical Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Facility (SyRF) database. Out of 1835 papers, 13 papers up to 2021, met the inclusion criteria for discussion in this systematic review with the data extracted. The most studies were carried out on effect of aromatherapy on anxiety of patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (8 papers, 61.5%). The most common used essential oil was belonged to lavender essential oil (11 papers, 84.6%). The findings of the present investigation demonstrated that aromatherapy particularly with lavender is able to significantly decrease anxiety, pain, nausea and vomiting, Sleep quality, Hemodynamic Indices, blood pressure, and extubation time in patients with CABG surgery. However, more studies are required to confirm the accurate mechanisms and side effects of the alternative treatment.
