This paper aims to review articles that have evaluated the role of essential oil therapy in patients with rheumatic diseases.
Systematic review. No study design or language limitation was applied.
We have identified 13 articles, most of them were used in osteoarthritis (n = 4), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 3) and fibromyalgia (n = 3). Two studies included patients with RA and OA (n = 2). The number of people involved in the study varied from 9 to 162, where female sex was observed in 60-100%. The age of the patients ranged from 36 to 78.3 years old and disease duration 1-11.67 years. The lavender essential oil was the most used, and then Ginger oil, Rosemary oil, and Rosmarinus officinalis. Time of oil use varied from 2 to 12 weeks. Importantly, all studies but one (91.6%) have demonstrated the efficacy of aromatherapy.
There are few reports on essential oils in rheumatic disease, mainly osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. All but one study have showed the efficacy of this complementary therapy.

我们共确定了 13 篇文章，其中大多数用于骨关节炎（n=4）、类风湿性关节炎（n=3）和纤维肌痛（n=3）。两项研究纳入了类风湿关节炎和骨关节炎患者（n=2）。研究涉及的人数从 9 到 162 人不等，其中 60%-100%为女性。患者年龄从 36 岁到 78.3 岁不等，疾病持续时间为 1-11.67 年。最常用的精油是薰衣草精油，其次是姜油、迷迭香精油和迷迭香叶油。精油使用时间从 2 周到 12 周不等。重要的是，除了一项研究（91.6%）外，所有研究都表明了芳香疗法的疗效。
