What are lavender’s main drawbacks?

    Last Updated: November 28, 2023

    Lavender appears to be safe at the recommended dose, with studies reporting very few adverse reactions, and almost no severe side effects. Possible negatives include nausea, diarrhea, and bloating, which are more frequent with oral supplementation. However, these effects are mild and transient in most cases, and lavender appears to be a well-tolerated supplement.[1][2]
