USO DOS ÓLEOS ESSENCIAIS EM ONICOMICOSE: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Objetivo:identificar na literatura como os óleos essenciais são utilizados em onicomicose. Métodos: revisão integrativa com buscas realizadas nas bases de dados MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, SCOPUS e BVS, sendo 13 estudos analisados. Resultados: o uso de óleos essenciais Melaleucaalternifólia, Lavandulaangustifólia, Eucalyptuscitriodora e Foeniculumvulgare mostram-se eficazes e trazem benefícios no tratamento da onicomicose, por inibirem o crescimento micelial dos fungos infectantes das unhas. Sendo assim, os profissionais de saúde envolvidos nos cuidados em pessoas com onicomicose devem se manter atualizados sobre tais alternativas de tratamento e consequentemente da melhora da assistência prestada a esses pacientes. Conclusão: a eficácia antifúngica de uma variedade de óleos foi comprovada com diferentes formas de apresentação e possíveis associações. Entretanto, o nível da evidência apresentado foi baixo, o que justifica a necessidade de estudos mais robustos sobre a temática.
