“…[11,12]. In addition to several studies, it has been shown to have a positive and therapeutic e ect of aromatherapy in reducing anxiety in patients with cardiovascular disease [13]. However, a comprehensive review study about the potential e ects of aromatherapy in various cardiovascular diseases such as ischemia, open heart surgery, and angiography has not yet been made, so the purpose of this study was a comprehensive review of studies on the e ect of aromatherapy with plant essential oils on the improvement of some conditions, for example, anxiety, stress, sleep quality, fatigue, and pain in people with cardiovascular disease.…”

Background. The purpose of this study was a comprehensive review of studies on the effect of aromatherapy with plant essential oils on the improvement of some conditions, for example, anxiety, stress, sleep quality, fatigue, and pain in people with cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods. We carried out this systematic review based on the instructions of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Ethical agreement was not necessary as main data have not been collected. During March 2022, we searched the main English databases, for example, Google Scholar, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and PubMed/MEDLINE, with limitation to human clinical trials. For this study, no time limit was applied for the publication of articles. Results. Out of 1380 papers, 52 papers up to March 2022 were eligible for review in this systematic review. Based on the obtained results, the most widely used medicinal plants for aromatherapy in patients with cardiovascular diseases were Lavandula angustifolia (lavender, 55.7%), Rosa damascena (Damask rose, 11.5%), and Mentha piperita (peppermint, 5.8%), respectively. Most studies have been performed on the effect of aromatherapy on coronary angiography (21 papers, 40.4%), followed by artery bypass graft surgery (14 studies, 26.9%), and cardiac patients (5 studies, 9.6%). Most studies on the effect of aromatherapy in cardiovascular diseases were performed on anxiety (31 papers, 59.6%), sleep quality (8 studies, 15.4%), and hemodynamic parameters (6 studies, 11.5%), respectively. Conclusion. This study systematically reviewed the effects of aromatherapy in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The review of studies showed that lavender, Damask rose, and peppermint are the most frequents plants used for aromatherapy, whereas they significantly improved some illnesses and conditions, especially anxiety and sleep quality. Therefore, it can be concluded that cardiologist can used aromatherapy as a natural complementary and alternative therapy particularly with lavender, Damask rose, and peppermint to improve quality of life and some conditions such as anxiety and sleep quality.

“…For example, they induce an antiplatelet effect, help lower blood pressure, reduce lipids and glucose, and attenuate diabetes symptoms in patients as a complementary treatment (37). Moreover, when they induce relaxation in patients and alleviate the stress and anxiety of the patients, hemodynamic parameters are indirectly adjusted due to the patient's mental disorder (38). Aromatic plant essential oils are mainly composed of citronellol, geraniol, nerol, kaempferol, 2-phenylethanol, nonadecane, and heneicosane (39).…”

Background and aims: Since cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, this systematic review aimed to investigate the effectiveness and mechanism of aromatherapy on hemodynamic parameters in patients with CVDs. Methods: This review was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Using relevant keywords, an extensive search was done in 1.30.2022 in most important databases including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A form was designed for recording data related to randomized clinical trials (RCTs), hemodynamic changes (e.g., heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure), and information about possible mechanisms in non-RCT works was also extracted. Findings: In RCTs, aromatherapy with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) oil, orange (Citrus sinensis) oil, lemon (Citrus limon), rose (Rosa damascena), and almond (Prunus dulcis) oil regulates pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure in patients with CVD. Aromatherapy can affect the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems through inducing local effects on veins, resulting in vasodilation, increased blood flow, and decreased peripheral resistance. Conclusion: Aromatherapy can be used as a complementary agent for regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in patients with CVD. However, certain precautions such as allergic reactions in patients should be taken before administration.

“…Aromatherapy, which involves the use of volatile plant oils through inhalation or other methods, has been explored as a potential treatment for various conditions, including PONV [ 22 ], anxiety [ 23 ], insomnia [ 24 ], dysmenorrhea [ 25 ], and dementia [ 26 ]. Various studies have explored the use of essence from ginger [ 27 28 29 ], peppermint essential oil [ 30 31 ], as well as lavender and clary sage oil [ 32 ] for the prevention of PONV.…”

Objectives: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following surgical procedures. While drug-based treatments are standard, there is increasing interest in nonpharmacological alternatives, such as aromatherapy, due to potential benefits and minimal side effects. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of aromatherapy in preventing PONV. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases for studies published up to May 2023. The included studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized studies of interventions that examined the impact of aromatherapy on PONV. The risk of bias was assessed, and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach was employed to evaluate the certainty of the evidence. Results: Eleven studies were selected for review, with eight RCTs included in the meta-analysis. Aromatherapy effectively reduced postoperative nausea severity (standardized mean difference [SMD]: −0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −1.64 to −0.22; P = 0.010), but the reduction in vomiting episodes was not statistically significant (SMD: −0.81, 95% CI: −1.98-0.37; P = 0.180). Subgroup analysis indicated that ginger essence, lavender, and peppermint oils were particularly effective in managing postoperative nausea. However, due to significant statistical heterogeneity and potential biases in the studies, the results should be interpreted with caution. The certainty of the evidence, as evaluated by the GRADE approach, was low. Conclusion: Preliminary evidence supports the potential benefit of aromatherapy in reducing the severity of postoperative nausea. However, given the low certainty of current evidence, more rigorous and standardized research is needed. The safety, affordability, and potential benefits to patient comfort make aromatherapy a promising area for further research in postoperative care.
