Lavender Oil: Why It’s in Calmer⁺
🌿 Ancient Roots, Modern Science
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been used for centuries as a calming remedy — from ancient Greeks using lavender baths, to traditional European remedies for rest and relaxation. Today, modern science continues to validate these traditional uses.
⚖️ Calmer⁺’s Dose: 80 mg
A standardized lavender oil preparation has been widely studied in doses of 80–160 mg per day.
80 mg is a well-tolerated, effective level shown to support calm without sedation.
In fact, an 80 mg oral dose is part of the clinical approval for a standardized lavender oil extract in Germany, highlighting its credibility.
🔬 How It Works
Lavender oil contains key natural compounds such as linalool and linalyl acetate, which are thought to interact with the brain’s GABA system — the same system that helps regulate stress and calm nervous activity.
📊 What the Research Says
A number of clinical trials have found that lavender oil can reduce anxiety symptoms, particularly in capsule form.
Beyond calming effects, some research suggests lavender may also help with sleep quality, tension headaches, and general emotional wellbeing.
✅ Safety Profile
80 mg daily has been tested in multiple studies and found to be well tolerated.
Lavender oil is considered safe for adults when used at recommended doses.
Side effects are rare but may include mild digestive upset or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
It’s non-sedating — meaning it can help you feel calmer without making you drowsy or foggy.
