Lavender essential oil

Full profile
  • CNS medications (benzodiazepines, SSRIs, MAOIs) — may potentiate sedative or serotonergic effects

Pregnancy

Likely Safe

Aromatherapy 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 Safe

Aromatherapy and topical use are considered compatible with breastfeeding; avoid direct application near the nipple/areola before nursing.

Children

Use Caution

Diluted 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.
