Possibly — but there are few reports. 95% of 19 people who reported on Lavender for anxiety say it improved. 5% noticed no change and 0% say it got worse.
“I found a high quality lavender supplement giving 80 mg per serving... I feel an effect, a subtle decrease in anxiety.”
“I have tried lavendar calm aid (silexan) with little effect”
“I started taking Calm Aid Lavender (Silexan) and it definitely helps with stress and anxiety.”
“one thing that really helped was about 5 drops of lavender extract in some water. At one point I'd have laughed at a lavender product seeming homeopathic until I tried it.”
Conclusion: Considering these findings, since treatments with lavender essential oil generally seem safe, and, in the case of inhalation, also simple and inexpensive, they are a therapeutic option which may be considered in some clinical contexts. The present systematic review was not funded and was registered in PROSPERO under the following number: CRD42019130126.
Conclusion: Aromatherapy improves sleep quality and reduces stress, pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue in adults and elderly people.
