Lavender

The Essentials

Lavender plants in flower, slim grey-green stems each carrying a spike of small purple blossoms
Lavender (ostokhoddus) is picked as flowering spikes — the purple buds hold the scent, not the leaves.

The classical Persian calming aromatic: anxiety, tension headache, and restless sleep in one small flower.

Silexan (a standardised oral lavender oil) has RCT evidence for generalised anxiety comparable to low-dose lorazepam.

Aromatherapy inhalation and pillow sachets are the traditional entry point — no supplement required.

Skip concentrated essential-oil ingestion outside of clinician-guided Silexan-style products.
