Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender is an aromatic herb from the mint family, cultivated for over 2,500 years. It is widely used in aromatherapy for its calming effects and has demonstrated anxiolytic and sedative properties in clinical studies. The essential oil and dried flowers are the primary medicinal forms.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is widely used for anxiety and sleep disorders. Oral standardized lavender oil (Silexan, 80mg) has Level A evidence for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), with efficacy comparable to lorazepam in some trials. Unlike many botanicals, oral lavender has robust clinical trial data. The anxiolytic effect is mediated by S-lesquel and other constituents interacting with GABA and NMDA receptors. Lavender also has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.
Essential oil contains linalool (25-38%) and linalyl acetate (25-45%) as primary actives. Silexan (oral preparation) is standardized to these constituents. Linalool is a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist and potentiates GABAergic transmission, explaining anxiolytic effects. It also inhibits voltage-gated calcium channels. Inhalation of lavender oil activates the limbic system via olfactory pathways, affecting autonomic nervous system tone. Topically, it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Linalool and linalyl acetate are rapidly absorbed through skin and mucous membranes.
