Randomized Controlled TrialThe effects of aromatherapy with lavender essential oil on fatigue levels in haemodialysis patients: A randomized clinical trial.
This study was intended to examine the efficacy of lavender essential oil for the alleviation of fatigue in haemodialysis patients. ⋯ Our result does not support other studies suggesting that lavender essential oil is effective on fatigue in haemodialysis patients. This conflicting result can mostly be ascribed to a variety of factors such as duration of aromatherapy and differences in concentrations of lavender essential oil.
