Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for centuries for its anxiolytic and calming properties. Lavender essential oil for oral supplementation is obtained from steam distillation of the flowering tops of L. angustifolia.
Containing over 160 distinct compounds, lavender oil is known for its calming effects due to linalool and linalyl acetate. Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of taking 80 mg of lavender oil daily for alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, restlessness, agitation, and disrupted sleep through oral supplementation.
