Lavender has been used for centuries to treat anxiety and depression. It’s no surprise, then, that your local massage therapist uses lavender oil to help people relax and unwind. And now, it looks like science is catching up: clinical studies show sniffing or ingesting lavender can effectively manage anxiety and raise mood scores. If you’re looking for a natural alternative to soothe your nerves, give this tried and true essential oil a chance. Because I think prevention is better than treatment, if you’re prone to stress out and experience heightened levels of anxiety, try working some lavender into your daily routine to help keep you at a calmer baseline.
Lavender is so readily available, and I’m willing to bet it’s an ingredient in something you already have around the house. Look for it in sachets, bath salts, moisturizers, and perfumes. Lavender is also an ingredient you might find in the kitchen in teas or seasonings like Herbs de Provence!
Details on clinical studies can be found in the Natural Medicine Journal.
