Recently, there has been a strong increase in interest in the cultivation of essential oil and medicinal plants in Russia. These agricultural products are actively used in the production of raw materials for the perfume-cosmetic, pharmacological and food industries. The main products are obtained from wild plants, but now plants that are not found in wild form on the territory of the Russian Federation, plants with a limited range and a small raw material base are introduced into the culture. Essential oil produced by plants is considered a valuable natural resource, and in this regard, the market value of products can vary greatly, thereby increasing demand.
Traditionally, lavender is believed to have various therapeutic and curative properties, ranging from inducing relaxation and ending with the treatment of parasitic infections, burns, insect bites and spasms. There is more and more evidence that lavender oil can be an effective drug in the treatment of certain neurological disorders. Some animal and human studies point to the anxiolytic, mood-stabilizing, sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsant and neuroprotective properties of lavender. These studies have raised the possibility of reviving the therapeutic efficacy of lavender in neurological disorders. This article presents an overview of the current experimental and clinical state of knowledge about the effect of lavender on the nervous system.
