Supposedly Lavender can help with anxiety.

Anecdotally, I bought a two weeks supply and didn't notice anything different, but my own self-assessment may have been flawed.

My psychiatrist says in her experience lavender takes 6-8 weeks to show any effect, and it only gets you a 10-20% improvement. She prescribes it as an add-on when the existing treatment regimen is mostly working.
