Lavandula Angustifolia Linalool Inhalation for Autonomic Calming
"Inhaling steam-distilled lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil rich in linalool and linalyl acetate shifts autonomic balance from sympathetic fight-or-flight toward parasympathetic vagal calm before sleep."
Dr. Sara Gottfried (The Hormone Protocol, Chapter 7: Evening Cortisol Down-Regulation Rituals, p. 166 (2013))
Select a third-party tested, organic or standardized preparation of Lavender Oil free of synthetic binders and oxidized fillers.
Administer Lavender Oil in divided daily servings according to the Aromatherapeutic Terpene approach for Insomnia, pairing fat-soluble extracts with a meal containing healthy fats and water-soluble forms 20 minutes before meals.
