How this fits a treatment plan
Lavender is an educational entry in the antioxidant encyclopedia. Purser Wellness does not automatically recommend it as treatment from an APA result. A cell-response finding is not a diagnosis of a deficiency in this botanical or compound.
Lavender may be used as an aroma or in a product specifically formulated for oral use. Do not ingest a fragrance or topical essential oil.
What symptoms can—and cannot—tell you
There is no established dietary deficiency syndrome for this specific botanical or compound. Symptoms are not evidence that you need this supplement.
Food sources

Supplement forms
Lavender may be used as an aroma or in a product specifically formulated for oral use. Do not ingest a fragrance or topical essential oil.
What to track and reassess
If your clinician recommends a separate trial, agree on its purpose, the exact preparation, how long to assess it and what would make you stop or reassess. Keep ordinary foods distinct from concentrated extracts.
