Lavender as Complimentary and Alternative Medicine

HERBAL MEDICINE: BIOMOLECULAR & CLINICAL ASPECTS

Lavender, as in a variety of other herbal plants, contain
aromatic substances. For example,
phenols and tannins exist in lavender and these compounds have antioxidant
properties. Antioxidants help protect
cells within the body from damage.

The use of lavender is a complimentary way of using
alternative medicine and current medical practice in healing and restoration of
mind and body. “Complementary and
Alternative Medicine is predicated on the idea that a person’s body is capable
of healing itself. It places a greater
emphasis on health restoration than disease therapy and sees disease as a
symptom of change in the way the body naturally heals itself.” (Sissi Wachtel, Galor and Iris F.F. Benzie
2024).
