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.
