What people say about Silexan and anxiety
“All jokes aside, silexan (calm aid) has been working pretty well for me.”
“I used silexan. First time it worked great. As well as lorazepam. The second time I used it I felt nothing.”
“I have recently found it to help my IBS and anxiety immensely. Have you tried Silexan (pharmaceutical-grade lavender oil)”

What the research says
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.
