The study used essential oil of blended mixture, which was applied by massage in 11 papers and inhaled through breathing in 12 papers. Hand massage was performed for about 10 minutes and foot massage was performed for 20 to 40 minutes. Breathing was done using gauge, handkerchief, or pillow after dropping Aroma oil. Aroma necklace was used as well. They inhaled mostly for 3 to 5 minutes per trial. Jojoba oil and almond oil were selected as base oil while lavender, chamomile, bergamot, and neroli oil were used in the listed order as an essential oil. As an objective way Actigraph measurement shows that 22 cases out of 23 papers resulted in the increased satisfaction rate of sleep after Aromatherapy has been performed. So we could say that the Aromatherapy is driving sleep in a positive way. However through the studies and papers, it seems obvious that Aromatherapy influences upon sleep quality in a positive way. Now for more scientific verification of Aromatherapy effect, further study needs to be made: While Aromatherapy is common and popular treatment, we’d better to increase the sample size because results can be different depending on the body reaction of each individual person. To get better results, we also have to verify the various blending rate of Aroma oil, applying time, its duration and so on.
