“…The intervention in these studies was inhalation aromatherapy 27,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42] or aromatherapy massage 35,40 with lavender. Aromatherapy with lavender essential oil was conducted on the patients suffering from migraine, 41 patients with the acute coronary syndrome, 35 patients undergoing hemodialysis, 27,39 community-dwelling older adults, 36,40 and postpartum depression. 37,38,40 Depression was measured by different scales, including Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, and Edinburgh Anxiety Questionnaire and Stress Scale.…”

“…Mechanism of this plant on the cell surface is not completely known, but it has been reported that this plant probably had a similar function to benzodiazepines and increased GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) in the amygdala. 34 On the other hand, the review of the available databases showed that although some studies have reported the positive effects of aromatherapy with lavender on depression, 27,[35][36][37][38][39][40] but some others have reported reverse results. 41,42 Thus, considering the presence of contradictions in this field, lavender's application to improving depression is still being argued.…”

Aromatherapy with lavender have attracted the attention of many researchers due to their low cost and ease of use, so this study was conducted to review of the effects of aromatherapy with lavender essential oil on depression.Methods: This systematic review study was conducted by searching the databases (SID, Magiran, Google-Scholar, Medline via PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) by using the keywords such as depression, Lavandula, Lavender, and Aromatherapy, as well as applying OR and AND operators to the end of January 1, 2020 A.D. The inclusion criteria were: 1) Interventional studies that determined keywords were in the title or keywords of the article, 2) aromatherapy was conducted through inhalation or massage, 3) the full text of paper was accessible, and 4) published in English or Persian. Finally, the information obtained from articles was extracted using a checklist.Results: Out of 278 studies, 9 studies were included to the systematic review process after screening and eliminating duplicate papers according to the purpose of the study. Aromatherapy with lavender essential oil was conducted on the patients suffering from migraine, patients with the acute coronary syndrome, patients undergoing hemodialysis, community-dwelling older adult, and postpartum depression. The results obtained from some studies showed the positive effect of aromatherapy with lavender essential oil on depression whereas some studies did not report the effect of aromatherapy with lavender on depression significantly.Conclusion: It seems that aromatherapy with lavender probably can be used as a complementary, simple, and inexpensive method to improve mild and moderate depression.

“…Regarding DBP, only one trial [22] showed a significant anxiolytic effect, and the remaining trials showed no significant effect. The mean effect was À0.17 (95% CI, À0.37 to 0.04, p ¼ .11) and the treatment effects showed no inconsistency across the studies (t 2 ¼ 0.00, c 2 ¼ 4.22, df ¼ 5, p ¼ .52, I 2 ¼ 0%).…”

“…Vital signs were measured in six trials [32,34,35,39], and each meta-analysis was performed according to SBP, DBP, and heart rate. Regarding SBP, only one trial [22] showed a significant anxiolytic effect, with an effect of À0.56 (95% CI, À0.98 to À0.14), while the remaining trials showed no significant anxiolytic effect. However, the SMD (Hedges'ĝ) was À0.22 [95% CI, À0.43 to À0.02), indicating that lavender aromatherapy significantly decreased participants' SBP.…”

Purpose: Although lavender is purported to possess anxiolytic and sedative properties and is often recommended for relieving anxiety, the efficacy of lavender has not been well established. Thus, this review aimed to evaluate the anxiolytic effects of lavender aromatherapy. Methods: Ten data bases were searched for studies published between 2000 and 2018. Randomized controlled trials investigating the anxiolytic effects of lavender aromatherapy with any type of application for persons with or without clinical anxiety were included. The outcome variables included selfrated anxiety, vital signs, and salivary cortisol and chromogranin A (CgA) levels. In the meta-analysis, standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval were calculated as effect measures by applying the random effect model and inverse variance method. Results: Twenty-two trials met our inclusion criteria. Lavender aromatherapy was found to have favorable effects in relieving anxiety (Hedges'ĝ ¼ À0.65; 95% CI, À0.84 to À0.46) and decreasing systolic blood pressure (ĝ ¼ À0.22; 95% CI, À0.43 to À0.02), heart rate (ĝ ¼ À0.53; 95% CI, À0.74 to À0.32), and salivary cortisol (ĝ ¼ À1.29; 95% CI, À2.23 to À0.35) and CgA (ĝ ¼ À2.29; 95% CI, À3.24 to À1.34) levels. However, the meta-analysis did not reveal any significant effects of lavender on diastolic blood pressure (effect size: À0.17; 95% CI, À0.37e0.04). Conclusion: Aromatherapy using lavender oil might have favorable effects on anxiety and its physiological manifestations. Future studies are recommended with an emphasis on methodological quality. In nursing practice, it is suggested that lavender aromatherapy be included in programs intended to manage anxiety in patients across diverse healthcare settings.
