BENEFITS OF LAVENDER
Dr. Lin shares lavender’s eclectic list of potential benefits:
Supports Sleep: Studies suggest lavender can improve your body’s melatonin levels, supporting a better night’s rest.
Reduces Pain & Inflammation: Research has shown that lavender essential oil can help reduce headache pain.
Helps With Anxiety & Depression: “Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system, lift the mood & even lower blood pressure,” says Dr. Lin. “Research links lavender usage to less anxiety & depression.”
Relieves Menstrual Pain: In one study, women who smelled lavender for 30 minutes a day during the first three days of their period had less pain after two months. Other research has linked applying lavender essential oil to the abdomen with less menstrual pain.
Kills Harmful Viruses & Bacteria: “Before we had antiseptics, people used lavender to clean hospital wards,” explains Dr. Lin. “It’s still used for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties.”
Reducing Colic Symptoms: Studies found that aromatherapy massage using lavender essential oil was effective in reducing colic symptoms in infants, including how long they cried.
Lavender offers many benefits from the ability to boost your mood to reducing colic symptoms.
Traditional herbal textbooks and research studies confirm a wide range of health benefits from the use of lavender. That’s because the different parts of the plant contain chemical compounds that positively affect your body.
“These compounds include flavonoids, which are also found in vegetables and fruits, and coumarin. Both have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions,” explains Dr. Lin. “Lavender essential oil is just as powerful and contains important compounds such as linalool. Linalool has been shown to reduce anxiety and blood pressure.”
