Silexan

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: This network meta-analysis provides a unique comparison of the efficacy and acceptability of anxiolytics. It represents one of the most comprehensive evidence bases available to guide the first choice of treatment for anxiety disorders in adults.

Conclusion: Medicinal herbs may be promising for the treatment of anxiety. However, these results should be considered preliminary because of the unconvincing sample sizes, together with the potential effectiveness of placebos.

Conclusion: Silexan has a significant and clinically meaningful anxiolytic effect in subthreshold anxiety. The results cannot be generalised to other lavender oil products.
