Resumen

El estudio busca comprender la contribución de la aromaterapia como tratamiento complementário e integrador en psiquiatría, explorando su eficacia y potencial terapéutico. Se realizó una revisión integrativa seleccionando publicaciones con ensayos clínicos y pruebas controladas, con textos completos en inglés y portugués. Los nueve estudios elegidos exploran la inhalación o aplicación tópica de aceites esenciales en tratamientos psiquiátricos, vinculando la eficacia de la aromaterapia con factores como edad, sexo y gravedad de la ansiedad. Se destaca el papel de aceites esenciales, como el de lavanda, en la reducción de síntomas de ansiedad y mejora del sueño. La conexión entre el sistema olfativo y las regiones cerebrales relacionadas con la regulación emocional se enfatiza como un mecanismo plausible para los efectos positivos. Los resultados indican que la aromaterapia, mediante la estimulación olfativa, puede influir en parámetros psicológicos y modular el humor, ansiedad y estrés, asociando ciertos aceites esenciales, como los cítricos, con mejoras en el humor. No obstante, desafíos como la falta de protocolos estandarizados y el efecto placebo requieren atención antes de su adopción generalizada. La aromaterapia presenta beneficios potenciales en la gestión de condiciones psiquiátricas, pero se subraya la necesidad de investigación continua y enfoques basados en evidencia. La colaboración entre aromaterapeutas, psiquiatras y farmacólogos es esencial para garantizar la seguridad del paciente y optimizar los beneficios del tratamiento, abriendo nuevas posibilidades en la integración de la aromaterapia en psiquiatría.
