Comparing the effects of lavender oil and olive oil

Fatigue is one of the debilitating and common symptoms in chronic hemodialysis patients with a prevalence rate of 60-90% [4]. It weakens the immune system and lowers one’s motivation and ability to perform everyday activities [6]. The fatigue after hemodialysis is a common problem in hemodialysis patients with a strong relationship with anxiety, depression, and problems in fulfilling personal and social roles [9]. The chronic and debilitating nature of hemodialysis decreases self-care measures and increases dependence on health care and mortality rate [11]. Fatigue control in hemodialysis patients includes pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions. Since, the majority of methods are pharmaceutical and the majority of pharmaceutical metabolites are discharged by the kidneys, these methods are featured with risk of drug poisoning. Therefore, popularity of supplementary and none-pharmaceutical treatments has been increased in health systems [12]. One of the non-pharmaceutical methods of preventing and alleviating fatigue is massaging that attenuates pain through lowering muscle sensitivity and tone and improving blood flow that leads to attenuation of pain and fatigue [13]. Lavender and olive oils are usually used for massaging. Lavender contains linalool, ketone alcohol, asters, and aldehyde. Ketones in lavender are effective in alleviating pain and inflammation. Asters prevent muscle spasm and lower tension, fatigue, and depression [16]. On the other hand, olive contains antioxidants that improves cells’ resistance to oxidation and in return increases perfusion and lowers pain and fatigue [19]. There is a paucity of study on the effect of lavender oil and olive oil massage on attenuating hemodialysis fatigue. This effect was studied in hemodialysis patients in Lordegan and Brojen cities in Iran (hospitals affiliated with Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences).
