Silexan (Lavender Oil Extract)

Category: sleep

Information Sheet

What It Is

Silexan is a patented, standardised oral preparation of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil, used as an anxiolytic and sleep aid.

Mechanism & Notes

  • Acts as a subunit-selective inhibitor of voltage-gated calcium channels, dampening over-excitable neurons
  • Anxiolytic comparable to low-dose benzodiazepines/SSRIs in trials, without sedation, dependence or withdrawal
  • Improves sleep quality secondary to anxiety reduction (not a direct hypnotic)
