Lavender Essential Oil

Conclusion: Considering these findings, since treatments with lavender essential oil generally seem safe, and, in the case of inhalation, also simple and inexpensive, they are a therapeutic option which may be considered in some clinical contexts. The present systematic review was not funded and was registered in PROSPERO under the following number: CRD42019130126.

Conclusion: A mixture of subjective and objective indicators was used. Lavender essential oil was associated with improved sleep quality before insomnia or other sleep disorders occurred.

Conclusion: Inhaled lavender aromatherapy significantly reduced postoperative pain in adults. However, evidence is insufficient to confirm its effect on reducing analgesic consumption. Further high-quality randomized clinical trials are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

Conclusion: This meta-analysis of 10 RCTs reveals that aromatherapy with single essential oil had a substantial effect on the sleep quality of cancer patients and should be recommended as a beneficial complementary therapy to promote sleep quality in cancer patients.
