🧠 2. Science of Lavender for Anxiety & Stress

Lavender aromatherapy has been shown to:

• Reduce cortisol (stress hormone)

• Lower heart rate and blood pressure

• Improve calmness and emotional balance

Studies using inhaled lavender oil showed measurable changes in brain waves, increasing alpha waves, linked to relaxation.
