Integrative Therapeutics Therapeutics Lavela WS 1265

This is a lavender essential oil extract that will aid in reducing symptoms of anxiety. Studies have demonstrated that lavender oil extract is as effective as Lorazepam (benzodiazepine pharmaceutical) in the treatment of anxiety, without the sedative effects, and without potential for abuse or dependency. Lavender essential oil's antianxiety mechanism of action is multifaceted and involves the absorption of its active compounds, such as linalool and linalyl acetate, through the gastrointestinal tract. These compounds modulate neurotransmitters, like GABA, which inhibit neural excitation, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Additionally, lavender oil can impact the autonomic nervous system, lowering sympathetic activity and cortisol levels, thereby alleviating stress. Furthermore, it may influence the limbic system, regulating emotional processing and enhancing mood.
