|
The purpose of this review is to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for hot flashes (HF) in menopausal middle-aged women. This review is a literature review, and a descriptive review method was used in this study. A total of 436 references were selected using representative journal search sites such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and RISS, and among them, a total of 44 papers were selected in the final stage based on the years 2000-2022 using PRISMA flow diagram. Aromatherapy has been shown to relieve HF in menopausal middle-aged women. Aromatherapy, which is simple, non-invasive, and safe to use, requires various systematic studies such as effective CAM for hot flashes, types of aroma oils, usage methods, and dosages.
