Lavender (Silexan / Oral)
for Panic Attacks
An oral lavender oil capsule, sold as Silexan or Lasea, taken once daily to ease generalised anxiety. The standard dose is 80mg per day, typically taken in the evening. Unlike aromatherapy, this form has clinical trial evidence behind it and is non-sedating.
How it works
Linalool and linalyl acetate modulate voltage-gated calcium channels and serotonin receptors, producing anxiolytic effects without sedation or dependence.
What to watch for
Oral lavender (Silexan brand) has the evidence — not aromatherapy. Mild GI side effects (burping with lavender smell) reported. Not yet specifically RCT-tested for panic disorder as a primary diagnosis.
