Lavandula angustifolia biological characteristics: An in vitro study.
OBJECTIVE: Lavender is an aromatic shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The flowers and leaves in different forms of extracts are used as herbal medicine. The accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, reduction of acetylcholine due to hyperactivity of acetylcholinesterase, and glutamate neurotoxicity are known to be involved in decreased level of cognitive function. In our previous study, we proved that the aqueous extract of lavender improves learning and memory. This in vitro study was designed to evaluate antiaggregative, antioxidant, and antiacetylcholinesterase activities of the herb

BACKGROUND: In addition to its low toxicity risk, Lavender ( OBJECTIVE: To investigate the scope of knowledge regarding the use of METHODS: A scoping review was carried out using a PRISMA-ScR checklist followed by a critical assessment being performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute level of evidence. The following databases were used: SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, SCIELO, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Wiley Online Library, CAPES, and FIOCRUZ Dissertations. RESULTS: Eighty-three articles published between 2002 and 2022 were selected for the analysis; More articles came
PubMed: 37153408Adverse effects of herbal medicines: an overview of systematic reviews.
This overview of systematic reviews (SRs) aims to evaluate critically the evidence regarding the adverse effects of herbal medicines (HMs). Five electronic databases were searched to identify all relevant SRs, with 50 SRs of 50 different HMs meeting our inclusion criteria. Most had only minor weaknesses in methods. Serious adverse effects were noted only for four HMs: Herbae pulvis standardisatus, Larrea tridentate, Piper methysticum and Cassia senna. The most severe adverse effects were liver or kidney damage, colon perforation, carcinoma, coma and death.
PubMed: 23472485Skin recovery by Lavandula angustifolia leaf callus extract: Redox control of Nrf2 signaling.
Lavandula angustifolia has been historically utilized for its therapeutic properties, particularly in essential oils, teas, and extracts. Despite several reports on the benefits of lavender, particularly its efficacy in skin healing, research on the underlying molecular mechanisms is limited. This study investigated the effects of Lavandula angustifolia leaf callus extract (LCE) on human skin recovery by focusing on the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway. Our findings demonstrated that LCE significantly enhanced skin cell viability and reduced oxidative stress

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil inhalation on sleep and menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with insomnia. PARTICIPANTS: 35 postmenopausal women with a clinical diagnosis of insomnia were included, 17 in Aroma Group (AG) and 18 in Placebo Group (PG). METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, PG participants inhaled sunflower oil and AG participants inhaledLavandula angustifolia essential oil, for 29 days.

PubMed: 33905827Seguridad y Precauciones
El uso de Lavandula angustifolia debe abordarse con cautela debido a su actividad farmacológica sobre el sistema nervioso central. En el caso de embarazo y lactancia, no existe evidencia clínica suficiente que garantice la seguridad absoluta del consumo de aceites esenciales o infusiones concentradas en mujeres gestantes; por tanto, se recomienda evitar su uso terapéutico para prevenir posibles efectos sobre el tono uterino o el desarrollo fetal. En la lactancia, aunque la transferencia de componentes como el linalool a través de la leche materna es limitada, la falta de estudios sobre la neurotoxicidad en neonatos obliga a mantener una postura de precaución extrema. Para niños menores de 12 años, se debe evitar la administración oral de aceites esenciales debido al riesgo de aspiración y a la sensibilidad de su sistema nervioso en desarrollo; el uso tópico debe ser extremadamente diluido y bajo supervisión para evitar irritaciones cutáneas o absorción sistémica excesiva. En cuanto a las interacciones farmacológicas, la lavanda puede potenciar el efecto de fármacos sedantes o depresores del sistema nervioso central (como benzodiacepinas o barbitúricos), aumentando el riesgo de somnolencia extrema o depresión respiratoria. Si el paciente consume antihipertensivos, existe la posibilidad de que la lavanda potencie el efecto hipotensor, provocando bajas de presión no deseadas.
