Lavender has long been a traditional go-to for stress & anxiety. It's so inspiring to see research that explains how it helps.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is often treated with drugs called benzodiazepines. They can be effective, but can make people drowsy and are known to be addictive.

Because lavender has shown calming effects in previous research, scientists wondered if it could help people with GAD. So they ran a clinical trial to test a lavender oil capsule (called Silexan) against a commonly used anxiety drug, lorazepam (a benzodiazepine).

The study lasted 6 weeks and involved adults diagnosed with GAD. They measured anxiety levels before and after treatment. Both groups—those taking Silexan and those taking lorazepam—had similar drops in their anxiety scores, about 45–46%. Both physical symptoms of anxiety (like tension or stomach issues) and mental symptoms (like worry and fear) improved.

Other measures used in the study—including self-reports, worry questionnaires, sleep tracking, and doctor assessments—also showed similar improvements.

The study concluded that Silexan could be a safe, effective alternative to benzodiazepines for treating generalized anxiety.

Other studies have found that the main component in lavender oil (linalool) interacts with receptors for the brain's main neurotransmitter, GABA. It allows GABA to do its job more effectively.

Would you like to schedule a massage but a Tuesday or a Thursday doesn’t work for you?
No worries, I occasionally work on a Saturday or Sunday. There is an additional 15€ fee to cover (most of) the cost of renting the space on a weekend day.

I am working Saturday the 16th of November and have an opening in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like to book!

So happy to share this!
This is a great project that I think is really needed in Grenoble. It’s a mom at my kids school that is doing this and I can’t wait for it to become reality. 😃
Please share widely!

Coming Soon: Grenoble's go to English language and international bookstore - café.
