Uçucu yağların asırlardır insanların gıda ve sağlığında kullanımı, “Aromaterapi”nin doğmasına ve aromaterapötiklerin farklı semptom ve hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanımına yol açmıştır. Bilimsel çalışmalar ve klinik araştırmaların gelişmesiyle uçucu yağların terapötik etkileri de kanıtlanmıştır. Böylece aromaterapi tamamlayıcı bir tedavi olarak uygulama alanı bulmaya başlamıştır. Aromaterapi anksiyete başta olmak üzere birçok problemin çözümünde kullanılmıştır. Aromaterapinin kullanıldığı bir hastalık grubu da kardiyovasküler sistem hastalıklarıdır. Kardiyovasküler hastalıkların toplumda görülme sıklığı göz önüne alındığında, tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemlerinden biri olan aromaterapi, kardiyovasküler sistem üzerinde doğrudan olmasa da dolaylı etkilerinden dolayı kullanılagelmiştir. Bilimsel araştırmalar, aromaterapinin kan basıncını düşürmeye yardımcı olabileceğini, kan damarlarını genişleterek kan akımını arttırmak suretiyle kalp sağlığını destekleyebileceğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca, aromaterapinin stres üzerindeki olumlu etkileri göz önüne alındığında, stresi azaltarak kardiyovasküler sağlığa katkı sağlayabileceği de düşünülmektedir. Bu amaçla, Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (lavanta), Rosa damascena Mill. (Isparta gülü), Cananga odorata Lam.(ylang ylang), Matricaria recutita L., Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, Mentha piperita L. uçucu yağları ve bu yağların karışımları en çok tercih edilen aromaterapötiklerdendir. Aromaterapi hakkında yapılan çalışmalar arttıkça farklı uçucu yağların da araştırılması kaçınılmaz olacaktır. Aromaterapi uygulamaları genellikle masaj, inhalasyon veya buhar banyosu şeklinde yapılmakta olup, aromaterapinin kardiyovasküler sistem üzerindeki etkileri bireyden bireye değişebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada literatürdeki randomize klinik çalışmalar değerlendirilmiş ve derlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar çerçevesinde hem fizyolojik hem de psikolojik olarak kardiyovasküler sistemi destekleme konusunda aromaterapinin konvansiyonel tedaviyi tamamlayıcı olduğu tekrar ortaya konmuştur. Aromaterapinin gerek kolay uygulanabilirliği gerekse de ulaşılabilirliği göz önüne alındığında hastalar için oldukça tercih edilebilir bir yöntem olabildiği söylenebilir. Ancak seçilecek uçucu yağ belirlenirken hastanın hassasiyetleri ihmal edilmemelidir.
