Abstract in brief

  • Lavender essential oil, derived from various Lavandula species like L angustifolia and L latifolia, has been used for centuries in beauty and medicine, with claimed benefits including antimicrobial effects, relaxation, and relief from burns and insect bites.
  • Despite many traditional claims, scientific research on lavender oil's biological activities is limited and sometimes conflicting due to challenges in standardizing oil quality and identifying active compounds.
  • More rigorous and consistent studies are needed to confirm lavender oil's therapeutic potential and fully understand its effects on both mental and physical health.]
