Lavender essential oil is used to alleviate stress and anxiety. Researchers evaluated its effects on the central nervous system and neurotoxicity. Lavender and its components bind to glutamate NMDA-receptors and the serotonin transporter but not the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor. Lavender did not enhance neurotoxic insult and improved cell viability. The study suggests that lavender may have pharmacological properties by modulating the NMDA receptor, SERT, and hydrogen peroxide-induced neurotoxicity.
