ABSTRACT

Lavender essential oil has a long history of use in complementary medicine and cosmetics, for its sedative, carminative, anti-depressive, and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite its widespread use, scientific validation of many claims is lacking, with research often focusing on lavender oil. This paper provides an overview of lavender oil`s potential health benefits, particularly in dentistry, aiming to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. Lavender oil cultivation spans globally, with notable regions in India, offering organic and safe alternatives to synthetic pharmacological agents. The global lavender oil market is projected to expand substantially, reflecting the growing interest in natural remedies. Recent studies suggest its efficacy in reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, alleviating headaches, and promoting wound healing. Indian companies offer a range of lavender oil products, catering to the demand for natural wellness solutions. While evidence supports many benefits, further research is needed to elucidate optimal usage and potential long-term effects.
