TLDR Nanotechnology could improve lavender oil's effectiveness, but more research is needed.
This review article discusses the potential of nanotechnology to enhance the therapeutic properties of lavender essential oil (EO), which is known for its antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-anxiety, and dermatological benefits, including promoting hair growth. Lavender EO's poor physicochemical properties limit its effectiveness, but nanotechnology can improve its solubility, stability, and pharmacological effects by creating nanoparticle dosage forms. This approach could increase the concentration of active compounds in the blood and produce a stable dosage form. The article concludes that further research is needed to develop these nanotechnology-based formulations for lavender EO.
