Lavender (Oral / Aromatherapy)

for Anxiety

Oral lavender oil (Silexan 80mg, e.g. Lasea/Calm Aid) or aromatherapy inhalation used to reduce generalised anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disturbance.

How it works

Silexan modulates voltage-gated calcium channels and 5-HT1A serotonin receptors in the limbic system, producing anxiolytic effects without sedation or dependence.

What to watch for

Oral Silexan is the evidence-based form — generic lavender capsules may not be equivalent. May cause mild GI upset or burping. Avoid during pregnancy without medical advice.
