Introduction. Anxiety is one of the mental disorders that most affects the world's population and aromatherapy has stood out as a therapy for the anxiety control. Objective. To identify clinical trials conducted with inhalation aromatherapy and discuss its effect on anxiety in adults. Method. This is a systematic review, of exploratory character and descriptive approach, from the LILACS, SCIELO and PubMed databases. The descriptors "aromatherapy", "essential oils" and "anxiety" were used to search the title and abstract of the articles. Only clinical trials with relevance to the research question of this study were included. Results. Fourteen articles published between the years 2000 and 2020 were analyzed, with study samples ranging from 17 to 361 participants. It was identified that 78.57% of the research were cross-sectional and carried out with patients in medical or dental procedures and care, being 64.29% developed in the Asian continent. It was also found that 57.14% of the studies used the Anxiety Trait and State Inventory (IDATE) as a method to assess anxiety and 57.14% used Lavender essential oil, being inhaled in 64.28% with the aid of cotton/gauze or mask and in sessions between 5 minutes and 15 minutes. In addition, 71.43% of the investigations indicated a significant reduction in anxiety. Conclusion. Despite the divergence of some research, aromatherapy by inhalation controls anxiety levels in adults and can be indicated as a complementary therapy in this public.
