Background.
Depression is one of the greatest health concerns affecting 350 million people globally.
Aromatherapy is a popular CAM intervention chosen by people with depression.
Due to the growing popularity of aromatherapy for alleviating depressive symptoms, in-depth evaluation of the evidence-based clinical efficacy of aromatherapy is urgently needed.
Purpose.
This systematic review aims to provide an analysis of the clinical evidence on the efficacy of aromatherapy for depressive symptoms on any type of patients.
Methods.
A systematic database search was carried out using predefined search terms in 5 databases: AMED, CINHAL, CCRCT, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO.
Outcome measures included scales measuring depressive symptoms levels.
Results.
Twelve randomized controlled trials were included and two administration methods for the aromatherapy intervention including inhaled aromatherapy (5 studies) and massage aromatherapy (7 studies) were identified.
Seven studies showed improvement in depressive symptoms.
Limitations.
The quality of half of the studies included is low, and the administration protocols among the studies varied considerably.
Different assessment tools were also employed among the studies.
Conclusions.
Aromatherapy showed potential to be used as an effective therapeutic option for the relief of depressive symptoms in a wide variety of subjects.
Particularly, aromatherapy massage showed to have more beneficial effects than inhalation aromatherapy.
