Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Aromatherapy with lavender essential oil has been used to reduce pain, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, among others. As the painful experience is unique, responses to therapeutic approaches may vary among individuals and there are specific conditions related to women’s health that deserve to be examined. The objective of this study was to analyze the uses of aromatherapy with essential oil of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), by nurses, for pain control in women. 
CONTENTS: This is a scoping literature review. The search was carried out in the following portals and/or databases: BVS, Pubmed, Cochrane, on June 3, 2022, and was updated on June 9, 2023. The sample consisted of four controlled clinical trials addressing aromatherapy with lavender essential oil in the “inhalation” and “massage” modalities, to treat acute labor pain and dysmenorrhea. In all studies, the intervention provided a reduction in pain without unwanted effects (p<0.05) and the nurse participated as a member of the multidisciplinary team. 
CONCLUSION: Aromatherapy with lavender essential oil during labor and dysmenorrhea proved to be effective in reducing pain in the analyzed sample.
