“…65 A paper systematically reviewed the role of the essential oil therapy, including ginger oil, in patients with rheumatic diseases, and the results indicated that the therapy was effective for rheumatic diseases, mainly osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. 66 Besides, based on the experimental results that 28 mg kg −1 ginger oil could prevent chronic arthritis, Funk et al con-sidered that the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger was not only limited to phenolic substances but also could be attributed to the role of secondary metabolites, pungent gingerol, and its aromatic essential oil. 67 At the same time, current research confirmed that ginger has a positive impact on gut microbes of broilers.…”

“…There are several articles in the literature related to the benefits of aromatherapy in patients with osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid diseases, and fibromyalgia. A systematic review by Barão Paixão and Freire de Carvalho (2021) found that lavender essential oil was the most commonly used aromatherapy. In 13 studies, all but one showed the efficacy of essential oil therapy on outcomes of pain reduction, fewer analgesics, and improved functional status; however, the authors provide little information on the actual essential oil treatment as to whether it was inhalation, topical, or combined with massage.…”

A randomized clinical trial was conducted over a threemonth period with 102 participants undergoing a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study purpose was to assess whether there was a reduction in the use of opioids in the postoperative period for THA or TKA participants that utilized lavender aromatherapy as an adjunct to pain medication. The participants in the control and intervention group were administered nonopioid pain medication around the clock and opioids as needed after surgery. However, the intervention group also received a pre-packaged lavender essential oil inhaler. Total oral morphine equivalents (OME) were calculated for each participant to determine opioid usage. Although the total OME was similar for the groups overall, the total OME was slightly lower for THA patients that were enrolled in the intervention group (median 22.5) compared to THA patients that were enrolled in the control group (median 31.2). In the intervention group, 58% of participants reported that the lavender inhaler was a useful tool for pain management and 76% indicated they would continue to use the lavender inhaler after discharge.

“…23 The positive effects of its aroma on pain/anxiety reduction and relief, sleep quality, and rheumatic diseases have been studied. [24][25][26][27][28][29] Inhalation of lavender essential oil can reduce respiratory rate and BP levels during panic attacks. The anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of lavender essential oil in both human/animal studies have been reported, too.…”

OBJECTIVE:To determine the effect of inhalation aromatherapy on sedation level, analgesic dosage, and bispectral index (BIS) values during donor site dressing in patients with burns. METHODS:This trial was conducted on 62 patients with burns requiring donor site dressing who were admitted to the Burn Center of Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. In the intervention group, the patients inhaled damask rose 40% and lavender 10% essential oils during donor site dressing change, whereas in the control group, the site was dressed using routine protocol. Sedatives and analgesics were prescribed until the levels of brain activity achieved light sedation. The brain activity and sedation levels were measured before and after the donor site dressings using the BIS. Data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance and the two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. RESULTS:All 62 patients completed the study. The required doses of ketamine ( P < .001), fentanyl ( P = .003), morphine ( P < .001), and propofol ( P < .001) were significantly lower in the intervention group. The BIS was also significantly lower in the intervention group ( P < .001). Heart rate decreased significantly during the aromatherapy, as well as after analgesic and sedative consumption ( P < .001). CONCLUSIONS:The inhalation of damask rose and lavender essential oils is an effective intervention to reduce the doses of sedative and analgesic drugs administered as well as BIS during donor site dressing change in patients with burns.
