Lavender essential oil
Full profile- CNS medications (benzodiazepines, SSRIs, MAOIs) — may potentiate sedative or serotonergic effects
Pregnancy
Likely SafeAromatherapy and mild tea use are widely considered safe throughout pregnancy; internal use of concentrated lavender oil/capsules is less studied and generally kept to topical/inhaled use instead.
Breastfeeding
Likely SafeAromatherapy and topical use are considered compatible with breastfeeding; avoid direct application near the nipple/areola before nursing.
Children
Use CautionDiluted aromatherapy is commonly used to help children sleep. Repeated topical exposure in prepubertal boys has been raised as a possible (though not conclusively proven) factor in rare cases of hormone-related breast tissue changes — avoid regular, undiluted topical use.
Sedatives
Additive drowsiness, particularly with oral use.
